Job description

Exclusive General Counsel Opportunity | High-Growth Global Tech Firm

Location: London
Compensation: Leading

I am exclusively partnering with a dynamic and rapidly scaling data and analytics company to find their next General Counsel. This is a rare opportunity to join a market-leading business during a period of hyper-growth, fueled by significant organic innovation and a series of strategic acquisitions. If you are a commercially-minded legal leader looking to make a significant impact, this could be your next move.

My client is a global leader in providing critical business intelligence, backed by a clear vision for future expansion. They are seeking a strategic legal partner for the CEO and the executive team—not just a legal guardian, but a commercial enabler who can build a scalable legal infrastructure to support their ambitious growth targets.

As General Counsel, you will be the principal legal advisor to the business, tasked with transforming the Legal, Risk, and Compliance (LRC) function into a true competitive advantage. This is a leadership role where you will drive the speed of commercial contracting, support a global expansion strategy, and cultivate a culture where legal risks are expertly balanced with commercial opportunities. You will lead and mentor a talented team, empowering them to become trusted business partners while you focus on high-impact strategic initiatives.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of legal experience, with a strong preference for a background that includes both top-tier law firm training and significant in-house leadership within a SaaS, Data, or FinTech company.
  • A strong commercial acumen. You understand the metrics that drive a modern tech business and can communicate complex legal advice in a clear, business-focused manner.
  • A global perspective, with experience managing legal entities and employment law across multiple international jurisdictions (e.g., UK, EU, US, APAC).
  • A pragmatic approach to risk. You are an expert at navigating ambiguity and providing creative, risk-calibrated solutions.
  • Demonstrable M&A experience. You have a solid track record of involvement in corporate transactions, from due diligence to post-close integration.

Helpful if you have:

  • Experience with public sector procurement cycles.
  • A background in complex, regulated industries.
  • French language skills would be an asset but are not a requirement.

This is a confidential retained search for a pivotal role in a truly exciting company. If you are a legal leader who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and wants to play a key role in a major growth story, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to message nick.harrington@eximius.com for a confidential discussion or to recommend a friend or colleague.
