Job Description

Remote Legal Counsel (Europe Remote)

Champion Strategic Decision-Making Across Borders

What if you could be the voice shaping high-stakes decisions—no matter where you log in? As our Remote Legal Counsel, you’ll be the trusted advisor transforming business challenges into opportunities for growth. When our teams navigate complex international transactions or digital compliance requirements, your judgment lights the way. We don’t just want someone to interpret the law—we’re searching for a partner who translates uncertainty into clarity, empowering leaders at every turn.

How Your Expertise Makes a Difference

Your legal expertise will have a direct impact on product launches, partnership agreements, and cross-jurisdictional projects. Imagine working alongside operations, product, and HR to craft contracts that scale with our ambitions—making sure each decision is grounded in robust risk mitigation. When privacy concerns arise, your understanding of GDPR compliance, intellectual property strategy, and employment law will reassure teams and unlock faster, safer innovation. From remote contract negotiation to dispute resolution, you’ll help teams act decisively, knowing the whole legal landscape is mapped out with their goals in mind.

Key Areas Where You’ll Lead

Navigating Regulatory Landscapes

With every regulatory change in Europe, your foresight keeps us ahead of the curve. Whether you’re interpreting updates to data protection laws, supporting merger and acquisition activity, or guiding product teams through digital compliance, you transform complexity into actionable guidance. You’ll build scalable legal processes—streamlining remote approval workflows and creating self-serve templates that empower non-legal colleagues to act confidently within clear boundaries.

Protecting Innovation and Business Growth

Safeguarding our IP portfolio isn’t just about trademarks and patents. You’ll advise on open-source licensing, SaaS agreements, and digital content usage—ensuring our assets remain protected in every territory we serve. When our growth strategy requires setting up new entities or expanding into emerging markets, your due diligence provides a smooth and compliant entry.

Guiding International Transactions

Every new partnership or procurement deal passes through your hands. You negotiate commercial terms that reflect our values, collaborating with finance and procurement to strike a balance between speed and precision. If disputes arise, your conflict resolution skills keep relationships productive and outcomes business-focused. By translating technical legal concepts into accessible guidance, you’ll help stakeholders move quickly and decisively.

What Sets You Apart

• You simplify complex regulations—making the abstract tangible for colleagues in any department, whether it’s over a quick Zoom call or a detailed Slack thread.
• You identify risks before they become roadblocks, providing actionable alternatives and advocating for legal best practices for distributed teams.
• Your fluency in employment law, international compliance, and technology contracts gives you the confidence to lead in ambiguous situations.
• You view every NDA, commercial contract, or compliance review as an opportunity to build trust, both within and outside the organization.

Tools and Technology Stack

We believe a remote-first legal function is only as strong as its toolkit. You’ll use digital contract management platforms, e-signature workflows, and document automation tools—helping you spend more time on high-impact advice and less on admin. Our collaboration stack includes Notion for knowledge management, Microsoft Teams for cross-departmental syncs, and DocuSign for rapid contract execution.

The Remote Legal Team Experience

Working here means autonomy and deep focus. While we move quickly, you’ll have the space to dig deep into regulatory research or draft detailed legal opinions. Weekly touchpoints with business leaders keep your insights at the forefront. We foster a culture where knowledge sharing is celebrated, and continuous learning is an integral part of the job, whether you’re collaborating on a major merger or providing quick compliance training to a new team.

Who Will Thrive in This Role?

If your legal analysis is paired with commercial savvy, and your advice always considers real-world business priorities, you’ll feel right at home. You thrive in remote environments, adapting your communication style for asynchronous updates or live negotiation calls. You’re energized by the challenge of balancing regulatory compliance, business objectives, and ethical decision-making—while empowering others to move forward with confidence.

Annual Salary: $170,000—reflecting the high level of responsibility, regional expertise, and direct impact you’ll have across all operations.

Required Skills and Experience

• Licensed to practice law in a European jurisdiction, with 5+ years post-qualification experience in corporate or technology law.
• Demonstrated expertise with cross-border contracts, data privacy, and digital business regulations.
• Track record guiding global or remote-first teams through international expansion, regulatory investigations, or complex disputes.
• Proven ability to build remote-friendly legal processes and drive organizational alignment on high-stakes matters.
• Adaptable, pragmatic, and solutions-oriented—you balance detail with big-picture business goals.

The Impact You’ll Make

Your work will have a ripple effect across the company. When engineering launches a new platform, your pre-launch reviews shape responsible innovation. When HR onboards a new region, your guidance secures compliance from day one. Your contributions will be seen in every strategic deal, every partnership, and every product we bring to market.
