This is a hands-on role requiring strong commercial judgment, technical understanding, and ability to navigate complex legal and regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
Key responsibilities:
- Draft, review, and negotiate complex SaaS, partnership, and commercial agreements, including Data Processing Agreements (DPAs), DORA Addenda, information security exhibits, and jurisdiction-specific regulatory and outsourcing addenda
- Support the General Counsel in managing international commercial negotiations while independently handling assigned contracts and projects
- Implement AI-powered legal tools, improve contracting workflows, and drive legal operations and process improvements
- Collaborate with Security, Engineering, and technical teams to ensure contractual commitments accurately reflect Notabene's technology, security controls, and operational practices

This is a 100% remote role open to candidates based in Europe, with flexibility to work across international time zones.
Requirements:
- Native-level or fully fluent written and spoken English with a track record of independently drafting and negotiating complex legal documentation in English
- Fully qualified lawyer in an EU jurisdiction with 3–5 years of post-qualification experience, ideally gained within top-tier law firms, fast-growing tech environments, or a combination of both
- Extensive experience driving end-to-end negotiations for complex enterprise technology agreements, particularly with highly regulated or global corporate clients
- Strong foundation in European regulatory frameworks relevant to tech companies, including data protection, privacy, and sector-specific operational/outsourcing requirements, with ability to adapt to international regulatory regimes
- Commercially minded approach to risk management: ability to balance business growth with legal exposure, articulate clear risks to stakeholders, and distinguish strict legal/regulatory imperatives from negotiable commercial points
