Requirements
• Strong legal grounding: ~ 3PQE UK-qualified lawyer with experience obtained across both UK and international settings (particularly the US and Europe). • Startup or scale-up experience: You’ve worked in-house (or closely with) a fast-moving tech company and understand how to operate in ambiguity. • Technical and AI fluency: You have a strong interest in leveraging AI and modern tooling to improve legal, and can help the business understand and safely adopt new technologies. • Commercial instinct: Confident drafting and negotiating SaaS agreements, NDAs, procurement and commercial agreements, with the judgment to balance risk and progress. • Generalist capability: Comfortable with a varied workload, including in areas such as data protection, technology, employment, and corporate matters. • Ownership mindset: You take responsibility end-to-end and follow things through, without needing close direction. • High energy and bias for action: You move with urgency, lean into problems, and are equally comfortable in the detail as you are high-level strategic advice. • Clear and pragmatic communication: You break down complex legal concepts into simple, actionable guidance — making it easy for teams to understand, decide, and move forward.
