Job description

We are partnered with an AI-native business looking for a hands-on General Counsel who wants to build something from the ground up—not inherit a fully formed legal function. The successful candidate will thrive in a high-growth, fast-moving environment and be excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of Legal within the business.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the company's legal function, acting as a trusted adviser to the executive team.
  • Negotiate a high volume of enterprise SaaS and commercial technology agreements.
  • Advise on AI regulation, governance and the evolving global regulatory landscape.
  • Lead on data privacy, compliance and broader legal risk management.
  • Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Sales and Operations to support product development, customer growth and international expansion.
  • Build scalable legal processes, templates and governance frameworks as the business continues to grow.


The ideal candidate will:

  • Want to be the company's first-choice business partner, embedding themselves across every function and helping drive commercial outcomes.
  • Be excited by the challenge of building and scaling a world-class legal function from an early stage.
  • Bring a pragmatic, commercial mindset and be comfortable balancing legal risk with business priorities.
  • Thrive in a startup environment—scrappy, adaptable, collaborative and comfortable with ambiguity.
  • Have a genuine passion for AI and legal innovation, with an interest in helping define what a modern, forward-thinking legal function should look like.
  • Be someone who enjoys sharing ideas, challenging convention and helping educate both the business and the wider market on the future of legal in the age of AI.
