Our client, one of the fastest-growing artificial intelligence platforms transforming how global marketing teams research, create and measure their work, has exclusively engaged Solutus Legal Search to recruit a Lead Commercial Counsel, EMEA. The company recently completed a significant Series D financing at a valuation of approximately $1.8 billion and is expanding rapidly with leading global enterprises.
Reporting to the Head of Legal, this attorney will serve as the company’s lead in-house lawyer in Europe and the primary legal partner to its EMEA sales organization. The role is focused principally on commercial contracting and calls for an experienced SaaS lawyer who can independently lead sophisticated, high-volume transactions, including negotiations on customer paper, while providing practical guidance on the privacy, data, security, intellectual property and regulatory issues that arise in those deals. This is a senior individual contributor role with independent responsibility for commercial legal work across EMEA, including coordination of external legal resources.
This is an opportunity to join a lean, highly collaborative legal team at an important stage of the company’s growth. The successful candidate will have substantial autonomy, direct exposure to senior business leaders and the opportunity to build the legal infrastructure supporting European expansion. As the business grows, the role is expected to take on broader responsibility and help shape the company’s legal function across the region.
Location and Compensation
This role is based in London and is expected to work from the company’s office three days per week. The anticipated base salary is approximately $240,000 to $255,000 USD, or the GBP equivalent, plus a substantial equity grant. There may be flexibility for an exceptional candidate, and final compensation will depend on experience, qualifications and final leveling.
