MetaCompliance Legal Team Opportunity
MetaCompliance is the European leader in cybersecurity awareness, specialising in providing cutting-edge solutions for businesses. Our innovative platform personalises training and drives real behavioural change, enhancing cybersecurity awareness of employees across all organisations in our customer base.
We are looking for an experienced, commercially minded in-house counsel to join our legal team. This role will be central to our contracting engine — leading negotiation of customer, vendor, and partner agreements — while also acting as a versatile generalist across corporate, privacy, product, and operational matters as we scale our SaaS business.
This is an excellent opportunity for a pragmatic, business-oriented lawyer who enjoys moving fast, solving problems creatively, and being a trusted advisor across the organization.
What You'll Do
Contract Negotiation (Primary Focus)
- Own end-to-end negotiation of customer agreements (negotiating MetaCompliance terms and conditions, or customer MSAs / SOWs / tenders).
- Negotiate vendor, supplier, and reseller/partner agreements.
- Draft, review, and maintain a suite of contract templates and playbooks to improve deal velocity and consistency and provide training and guidance to internal stakeholders.
- Partner closely with Sales, Customer Success, and Finance to balance commercial goals with risk tolerance.
- Identify recurring negotiation friction points and drive process improvements (e.g., redlining guidelines, fallback positions, approval workflows).
- Utilise our contract lifecycle management tool to review and negotiate contracts, consistently and continually identifying trends and working towards improving processes and increasing efficiency.

- Solid working knowledge of data privacy law (GDPR, or equivalent) and practical experience handling DPAs and data transfer mechanisms.
- Demonstrated ability to work as a generalist — comfortable moving between contracts, privacy, corporate, and product legal questions in the same week.
