Job Description

Legal Counsel

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Legal Counsel in United Kingdom.

This role offers the opportunity to join a fast-scaling technology environment where legal expertise directly enables business growth and innovation. You will act as a key legal partner across multiple departments, supporting sales, finance, HR, marketing, and compliance teams in their day-to-day operations. The position combines strategic advisory work with hands-on execution, including contract negotiation, regulatory monitoring, and policy development. You will help ensure the organization operates securely within complex legal and privacy frameworks while maintaining commercial agility. Working closely with international stakeholders, you will navigate multi-jurisdictional legal challenges in a dynamic, cloud-focused business. This is a highly collaborative role where your input will shape internal governance, risk management, and scalable legal processes. You will thrive in an environment that values autonomy, pragmatism, and business-oriented legal thinking.

Accountabilities:
  • Provide practical, business-focused legal support across commercial, sales, HR, finance, privacy, and compliance functions.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, ensuring balanced risk allocation and legal compliance.
  • Manage contract templates, including their development, updates, and implementation of efficient contract management processes.
  • Support sales and finance teams in contract negotiations, risk assessment, and debt recovery activities.
  • Monitor evolving legal and regulatory developments and translate them into actionable internal policies and practices.
  • Contribute to corporate governance, internal policy creation, and compliance frameworks across departments.
  • Design and deliver legal training, guidance materials, and workshops to improve legal awareness across the organization.
Requirements:
  • Law degree with at least 3+ years of experience as an in-house legal counsel, ideally in a tech or digital environment.
  • Strong experience in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts in English.
  • Solid understanding of compliance, privacy, and regulatory frameworks in an international context.
  • Ability to combine legal expertise with a commercial mindset to provide practical, solution-oriented advice.
  • Excellent analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex regulations and assess business risks effectively.
  • Proactive, hands-on approach with strong ownership and ability to manage multiple priorities independently.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across diverse teams.
  • Fluency in English is required; additional experience with international or U.S. legal frameworks is a plus.
Benefits:
  • Fully remote or flexible working arrangements within a European-friendly environment.
  • Competitive compensation aligned with experience and market standards.
  • Opportunity to join a high-growth tech scale-up with strong international exposure.
  • Significant autonomy and ownership in shaping legal processes and frameworks.
  • Collaborative, inclusive culture with strong emphasis on teamwork and knowledge sharing.
  • Continuous learning and career development opportunities in a fast-evolving legal and tech landscape.
  • Direct impact on strategic business decisions within a rapidly scaling organization.
