About the role

Responsibilities

Lead the negotiation and drafting of complex, high-value Enterprise SaaS agreements, MSAs, and partnership contracts with major infrastructure clients
Develop and refine legal playbooks, standardise templates, and implement efficient “self-serve” processes to empower the Sales team and increase our deal velocity
Partner with the leadership team to support our imminent entry into the US market, including localising commercial agreements and managing cross-border risk
Act as the primary legal advisor to the Product, Engineering and Data Labs teams, guiding them on intellectual property, data licensing, and the regulatory landscape surrounding AI and digital twins
Support the VP Finance on corporate matters, including cap table management, employee equity schemes, potential future fundraising activities, and general corporate governance
Oversee our data protection and privacy strategies, ensuring our commercial data flows remain compliant while enabling the business to leverage data effectively

A qualified England & Wales solicitor with strong post-qualification experience (likely 5-7+ years PQE, though we are flexible for the right commercial mindset)
Proven experience working in-house at a high-growth B2B, technology or SAAS start-up. You understand the mechanics of software licensing, subscription models, and IP
You have a track record of sitting across the table from procurement teams at large enterprise/blue-chip organisations and successfully closing deals
You are a “deal-maker,” not a deal-blocker. You know how to balance legal risk against commercial realities and can explain complex legal concepts simply to the wider business
You enjoy building systems and want to build the playbooks and processes that make reviewing contracts unnecessary for standard deals
You thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment where the answer isn’t always obvious, and you are comfortable taking ownership of broad legal mandates
(Bonus) Experience supporting a UK tech company’s expansion into the US market or navigating AI/geospatial data regulations
(Bonus) Experience navigating venture capital fundraising rounds, managing due diligence processes, and supporting the execution of investment documentation alongside external counsel as and when required
