The Role
We are looking for a Junior Commercial Counsel to be the primary point of contact for all legal and contractual matters, playing a key role in shaping and improving our legal and operational processes. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of legal, operations, and commercial decision-making, with a strong focus on process optimisation and stakeholder collaboration.
In this position, you will manage all incoming legal queries and be responsible for drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a range of customer and vendor contracts. Reporting directly into the C-Suite, you will work closely with multiple teams across the business to streamline legal workflows, enhance contract lifecycle management, and drive operational improvements.
If you have demonstrable experience as a trainee or junior lawyer, ideally in-house at a SaaS, startup, or scale-up, and enjoy using your legal skills in a commercial setting, we're keen to hear from you.
Responsibilities
- Lead legal contact: Act as the primary point of contact for all legal matters within the company.
- Customer contracts: Draft, review, negotiate, and execute various customer agreements (including Terms of Service, RFPs, NDAs, MSAs, and Reseller Agreements), balancing risk management with commercial objectives.
- Vendor contracts: Review, negotiate, and execute vendor contracts in line with pre-approved internal policies, collaborating with Finance and Security on vendor onboarding
- Legal queries & templates: Manage incoming legal requests, escalating to external counsel when necessary. Work with Product to ensure our terms and policies remain aligned with product development and compliance requirements
- Contract management: Maintain clear tracking, storage, and reporting of contract status, ensuring visibility of key contractual risks (e.g. non-standard terms)
- Process improvement: Identify inefficiencies in the contract lifecycle and implement enhancements using document generation, signature software, and contractual data analysis
- Enablement: Build and maintain contract playbooks, training sessions, legal templates, and processes to empower cross-functional teams
- Security incidents: Provide guidance on managing security incidents from a legal and compliance perspective
- Dispute resolution: Manage contractual disputes and legal issues, collaborating with external counsel when necessary
- Data privacy and protection: Support the business with data privacy and protection matters, including compliance with relevant regulations, drafting policies, and providing guidance on data-related issues, with prior experience or a demonstrable interest in this area
- External counsel management: Oversee the company’s use of external legal counsel, identifying opportunities for cost savings and efficiency improvements
- Equity management: Work alongside Finance to manage our manage equity management software (e.g. Carta) for future option grants and funding rounds
- KPI development: Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure legal and operational initiatives align with company objectives
- Collaboration: Partner with Finance, Sales, Product, and Security teams to support legal and operational needs
Requirements
- Desire to play a strategic role with leadership exposure – this position reports directly to the C-Suite, providing a unique opportunity to work closely with company leadership.
- Proven in-house legal experience (preferably in a SaaS, startup, or scale-up environment).
- Process-driven mindset with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills – ability to influence at all levels, including executive and C-level.
- Tech-savvy, comfortable using CRM, contract lifecycle management software, generative AI, and document automation tools (bonus if experienced with PandaDoc, DocuSign or similar platforms).
- A commercial mindset – understanding how legal and contractual processes impact business success.
- A proactive approach to problem-solving, with a focus on continuous improvement.
