Requirements:
  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. state or relevant jurisdiction.
  • 3–5 years of experience in a law firm or in-house legal environment, ideally within technology, SaaS, or fintech sectors.
  • Experience supporting commercial transactions and sales organizations in a fast-moving business environment.
  • Strong knowledge of contract law, commercial negotiations, and regulatory frameworks affecting data privacy and cybersecurity.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities independently in a lean and high-growth organization.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills with a pragmatic, business-oriented mindset.
  • Comfort working under pressure and meeting tight deadlines in a dynamic environment.
Benefits:
  • Competitive compensation package including base salary and equity opportunities (approximately 120,000–145,000 CAD or 130,000–165,000 USD depending on location).
  • Remote-first work environment with flexibility to work from anywhere.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage for employees and dependents.
  • Retirement savings plan with employer matching contributions (401k/RRSP depending on location).
  • Generous paid time off, including flexible vacation and year-end break.
