Salary

💰 €63,000 - €76,000 per year

About the role

  • Own commercial contracts end-to-end. Draft, review, and negotiate agreements for sales, growth, product, and engineering. You'll be the go-to for contract questions across the business.
  • Take our GDPR compliance to the next level. Working with the Head of Legal and our DPO, you'll move us beyond baseline, implementing privacy by design and strengthening our data treatment register, privacy policy, and IT security routines.
  • Help our product stay ahead of AI regulations. You’ll monitor new rules as they come into effect, assessing their impact on what our machine learning and AI teams are building to help them adapt.
  • Keep our IP position solid. Manage trademark registrations, domain names, and infringement monitoring as we scale into new markets.
  • Support the Head of Legal on whatever the business needs. Dive into corporate, labour, public affairs and beyond - you’ll expand your skillset and knowledge as the business keeps expanding.

Requirements

  • You bring solid legal experience in tech. You have 2 to 5 years under your belt, either at a top-tier or tech-focused law firm, as an in-house counsel at a tech company (ideally a SaaS start-up or scale-up), or both. You also have hands-on exposure to commercial contracts and at least one of: GDPR/privacy, IP, or regulatory compliance.
  • You hold a Master's degree in law. Bar admission is a plus but not required.
  • You're fluent in French and English. You can draft, negotiate, and hold your own in both languages, written and spoken.
  • You think like a business partner. You read legal questions in their commercial context, propose workable options rather than theoretical ones, and know when good and clear beats perfect and late.
  • You're comfortable with how we work. We're async, remote-friendly, and fast-moving. You manage multiple workstreams independently and keep stakeholders informed without being chased.
  • Ideally, you’re familiar with AI technologies and their legal implications, including the EU AI Act. We care more about your ability to learn fast than what you already know.
Benefits
  • Regular team gatherings, including yearly company offsite and team retreat and social events.
  • 30 days annual leave plus local public holidays.
  • Competitive equity package with stock options/BSPCE, giving you ownership in our growing company.
  • €1,000 annual learning and development budget for training, courses, books, and skill development.
  • Private health insurance.
  • Access to personalised mental health support, including 1:1 sessions with therapists or coaches, self-care tools, and well-being resources via MokaCare.
  • Sports and cultural activities reimbursement.
