Veeam, the Data and AI Trust Company, is seeking a Senior Legal Counsel to join its growing legal team in Dublin and support the global sales organization. This is a commercially focused role requiring strong partnership with Sales, Deal Desk, Revenue Operations, and other business stakeholders to provide pragmatic legal advice while identifying, assessing, and managing legal, regulatory, and commercial risks.
You will build trusted relationships across the business and lead the review, drafting, and negotiation of a wide range of commercial agreements including SaaS, BaaS, software, professional services, channel partnerships (aggregators, resellers, GSIs), and NDAs. You'll provide practical, commercially focused legal advice to Sales and stakeholders, supporting negotiations through clear guidance while identifying and communicating material legal, regulatory, privacy, and commercial risks. You'll develop defensible solutions to complex contractual issues, balancing risk and determining when escalation is required.
Key responsibilities include anticipating potential contractual and operational issues proactively, supporting the development and continuous improvement of contract templates and negotiation playbooks, and delivering training programs to promote best practices. You'll collaborate effectively with colleagues across the Legal department and contribute to a high-performing team culture.
You bring 10-15+ years of post-qualification legal experience, including significant in-house experience, ideally in software, SaaS, or cloud technology companies. You have strong commercial contracts expertise, excellent drafting and negotiation skills, and demonstrated ability to advise business stakeholders in a practical, commercially focused manner. Experience supporting sales organizations, advising on privacy and data protection in commercial technology transactions, and managing high volumes of complex matters is essential. You demonstrate sound commercial judgment, strong organizational skills, and excellent communication abilities.
