ABOUT US

Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.

Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a commercially minded Legal Counsel to join our legal team in Paris. Reporting to the General Counsel, you'll be a hands-on legal business partner to Sales and teams across the company, with a particular focus on French-speaking markets. This is a broad in-house role for a lawyer who enjoys working close to the business and is motivated by Harmattan AI's mission.

Defence, AI & Regulated Technology

- Advise on legal and regulatory issues around autonomous and AI-enabled defence systems

- Work with the General Counsel on export-control, sanctions and trade-compliance matters

- Advise on AI, data, cybersecurity and IP issues as they affect the business

Corporate & Governance

- Support entity governance, board documentation and statutory filings across French-speaking markets

- Support employment matters alongside the People team and external counsel

- Manage disputes and pre-litigation matters with a focus on early risk assessment

French-Speaking Markets

- Act as principal legal advisor for expansion across French-speaking markets

- Coordinate external local counsel and manage legal spend

- Help build the legal processes and templates that let the business scale

REQUIREMENTS

- Qualified attorney or in-house legal counsel with ~5 years' relevant experience across a law firm and in-house/tech or defence environment

- Native-level French and fluent professional English;

- Strong track record drafting and negotiating complex commercial contracts

- Solid grounding in contract and corporate law

- Genuine interest in defence, dual-use tech, AI or other regulated sectors

- Comfortable with senior stakeholders and fast-moving, high-stakes work

- Eligible to obtain and maintain any security clearance or authorization required for the role, subject to applicable law.

- LL.M. from a US or UK institution, or exposure to defence/public-procurement/export-control matters, is a plus.

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
