📋 Description

• Act as a strategic legal partner at the group level, advising, reviewing and supporting negotiations on large client project agreements, partnerships, and vendor/supplier contracts across entities and jurisdictions. • Support fundraising activity: coordinate diligence, review and negotiate term sheets, MoUs, subscription agreements, SAFEs/convertible instruments, and related financing documents alongside outside counsel and finance. • Review and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, from high-value client/vendor contracts to routine administrative documentation. • Partner with corporate finance on transactional matters, including entity structuring, intercompany agreements, and support for M&A or investment activity as needed. • Lead entity management, board documentation, and corporate record maintenance across the group's legal entities, spanning multiple jurisdictions (including Spain, the US, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and India). • Own regulatory filings, corporate compliance requirements, and monitoring of key deadlines and renewals across all jurisdictions where the group operates. • Design and drive internal compliance initiatives and policy management, ensuring policies are actually usable and adopted, not just written. • Flag legal and regulatory risk proactively to leadership, with practical recommendations rather than just issue-spotting. • Draft, review, and translate legal, corporate, and business documents between English and Spanish; support Spanish-speaking employees, vendors, customers, and legal advisors. • Coordinate with local counsel across the group's jurisdictions; including Spain, the US, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and India; to align global agreements with local law and practice. Note: the company is actively expanding internationally, so this footprint will likely grow. • Serve as a central point of contact for cross-border legal questions, helping the business navigate differing regulatory, employment, and contracting norms across regions. • Proactively build familiarity with the regulatory norms of new jurisdictions as the company expands into them, rather than waiting to be asked. • Flag where local law expertise or local counsel input is needed, and manage those relationships efficiently to avoid duplicated or unnecessary external spend. • Own and modernize the company's legal operations function — contract lifecycle management, document repositories, matter tracking, and legal request intake. • Identify and implement process improvements, templates, and playbooks that reduce turnaround time and reliance on outside counsel. • Build and maintain a library of standard forms (NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, vendor agreements, employment-related documents) to accelerate day-to-day contracting. • Set and manage the outside counsel strategy: decide what should be handled in-house vs. externally, negotiate rates/scopes, and review external counsel work product for quality and cost before it reaches leadership. • Work alongside another senior lawyer to cover the full scope of the group's legal needs - this is a genuine partnership role. • Bring independent judgment to the table: proactively flag risks, propose alternatives, and voice disagreement constructively rather than simply executing instructions. • Operate effectively amid organizational change - the company's structure is actively evolving, and this role will need to adapt scope and priorities as that unfolds rather than expecting a fixed mandate. • Mentor and potentially oversee paralegal or junior legal support as the function scales.

🎯 Requirements

• Law degree and membership in good standing of a bar of a U.S. State, preferably Texas. • Minimum 7–15 years of experience as a practicing attorney, ideally with a mix of law firm and in-house/corporate legal department experience. • Fully remote role — you can be based anywhere in the world; US preferred and maintaining U.S. business hours (Central Time) required. • Fluent in both English and Spanish (written and verbal). • Able to operate semi-autonomously with modest supervision • Strong commercial legal background • Industry experience in technology, fintech, or other relevant commercial sectors. • Comfort working across a genuinely global legal footprint (currently Spain, the US, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and India, with further international expansion expected) - you don't need to already be an expert in each local law, but you should be willing and able to build familiarity with new regulatory norms as the company grows into new markets. • Demonstrated experience drafting, negotiating, and managing a broad range of commercial and corporate contracts across borders. • Experience supporting mid-large-scale fundraising, financing, or investment transactions (equity, debt, or venture-style deals). • Strong grounding in corporate governance, entity management, and regulatory compliance in a multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction structure. • Track record of managing outside/local counsel relationships across multiple countries and controlling legal spend. • Excellent judgment, organizational skills, and ability to prioritize across competing demands. • Ability to maintain strict confidentiality, professional ethics and handling highly sensitive information. • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and document/contract management systems.

🏖️ Benefits

• Attractive compensation package reflecting your expertise and experience. • Medical Insurance Plan. • 401k Employee volunteer contribution Plan. • A great work environment characterized by friendliness, international diversity, flexibility, and a hybrid-friendly approach. • You´ll be part of a fast-growing scale-up with a mission to make a positive impact, offering an exciting career evolution.
