About the role
- Be a founding member of Webflow’s international legal footprint, building out our EMEA legal function and GTM legal playbook in close coordination with the global legal team
- Serve as a key strategic advisor to sales leadership on complex commercial deals and contractual matters across SMB to large enterprise clients
- Lead negotiations and successfully close a variety of sophisticated commercial contracts (SaaS, channel/distribution/reseller, DPAs, professional services, marketing, NDAs, vendor contracts)
- Navigate, anticipate, and proactively manage risks from emerging EMEA regulatory compliance requirements and jurisdiction-specific contracting considerations (e.g., Privacy and AI technologies)
- Design and implement scalable contract frameworks, playbooks, resources, and processes to support and enable our fast-growing EMEA sales organization
- Provide triage support to the US-based legal team for general (non-commercial) company requests on an as-needed basis
Requirements
- Have 6+ years PQE/in‑house tech experience, ideally at fast‑scaling SaaS/cloud companies
- Are admitted and in good standing as a lawyer or solicitor in a relevant EMEA jurisdiction (e.g., England & Wales, Ireland or NL) with experience in house and at a law firm
- Have deep experience drafting and negotiating both high-touch and high volume commercial agreements in multi-jurisdictional contexts, especially B2B/Enterprise SaaS
- Know privacy inside‑out: GDPR, cross‑border transfers, DPAs — and are comfortable advising (and educating) business teams as they navigate these hurdles
- Excel at providing practical, actionable, and risk-balanced advice with legal discipline
- Are a bold self‑starter who thrives in a high‑velocity, change‑oriented culture and enjoys building from the ground up and wearing multiple hats
- Are self-sufficient and able to thrive autonomously in uncertainty and ambiguity, but also a team player that embraces cross‑functional collaboration and rolling up your sleeves
- Are systems‑savvy: familiarity with CLMs (IronClad or similar), DocuSign, Salesforce, Google Workspace/Slack
- Stay curious and open to growth — actively building fluency in emerging technologies like AI
