• Draft, review, and negotiate a broad portfolio of technology-related agreements including SaaS, EULAs, Master Service Agreements, Software Licensing, Cloud Agreements, OEM, and Joint Development Agreements.

• Lead commercial contract negotiations with enterprise clients, vendors, data providers, and resellers, ensuring favorable and risk-appropriate terms.

• Review and evaluate RFP terms and conditions; advise business teams on legal and contractual risk, offering practical mitigation strategies.

• Revamp and maintain contract templates, playbooks, and standard operating procedures for the legal team.

Data Privacy & Compliance

• Lead implementation and ongoing management of the company's Data Governance Framework, including policies, notices, and agreement amendments.

• Manage the Data Protection Officer (DPO) function, serving as the primary privacy liaison internally and with regulators.

• Align data protection practices with industry frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, and SOC standards.

Intellectual Property & Open-Source Compliance

• Advise on IP strategy for new product releases, including patent analytics and IP checklist reviews.

• Provide counsel on open-source software licensing compliance (GPL, LGPL, MIT, BSD, Apache) for use, contribution, and acquisition scenarios.

• Manage trademark matters including classification searches and infringement case support.

M&A & Strategic Transactions

• Support due diligence and risk assessment for mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships.

• Identify and mitigate legal risks through representations, warranties, indemnities, and protective contractual mechanisms.

• Collaborate with external counsel on cross-border transactions and regulatory matters.

Requirements

Education

• LLB or equivalent law degree from a recognized institution; postgraduate or specialization in IP or technology law is a strong advantage.

• Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP-US, CIPP/E, or equivalent) from IAPP is highly preferred.

Experience

• Minimum 6–8 years of post-qualification experience (PQE) in technology law, with at least 3 years in an in-house corporate legal role.

• Proven track record working with Fortune 500 / large conglomerate companies in cross-cultural and multi-jurisdictional environments.

• Demonstrated experience in contract negotiation for complex, high-value technology deals.

• Hands-on experience implementing data privacy programs under GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and HIPAA.

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.
