Job Description

You will be our second ever legal hire, reporting to the Legal & Compliance Lead. You'll be the go-to person for day-to-day commercial contracting across Qargo's group entities (UK, Belgium, US). You'll own and operate our CLM system (Juro), driving adoption and self-serve maturity across the business. You'll work closely with Sales, Finance, HR, Customer Success and the Security team — helping Qargo scale its legal function as we grow into new markets. This is a rare opportunity to join a small, tight-knit legal team and make a real, visible impact from day one.

Job Responsibility

  • Own day-to-day customer contracting (MSAs, Order Forms, NDAs, DPAs, amendments, renewals, SOWs), with scope to grow into handling strategic, high-value, and enterprise deals alongside the Legal Lead
  • Manage and evolve Qargo's CLM (Juro) with the Sales-enablement Lead: manage templates, workflows, playbooks, reporting, and user enablement across the business
  • Co-own Qargo's data protection and privacy operations: negotiate customer and vendor DPAs, maintain the intra-group data sharing framework and privacy/cookie policies, and partner with Security on NIS2 and incident response readiness
  • Own end-to-end supplier and procurement contracting: SaaS vendors, IT, marketing, and professional services
  • Support US expansion: help stand up customer contracting workflows for Qargo Tech Inc
  • Provide support on corporate compliance and other ad hoc legal tasks as needed

Requirements

  • Qualified solicitor or CILEX lawyer in England & Wales (NQ–3 PQE), with in-house experience or 3–5 years of in-house legal experience at a technology or SaaS business
  • Solid grounding in SaaS commercial contracting: MSAs, Order Forms, DPAs, NDAs
  • Familiarity with UK & EU GDPR and data protection fundamentals
  • Experience with a CLM tool (Juro experience is a real bonus!)
  • Tech-native and AI-curious: comfortable with tools like Slack, Notion, Google Workspace and GenAI tooling
  • Pragmatic, business-first mindset - you translate legal risk into clear, actionable commercial advice
  • Confident operating autonomously in a small team, with high ownership and a bias to action
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • comfortable with senior stakeholders and external advisers
  • Collaborative and curious — you genuinely want to grow a function, not just maintain it
  • Fluent in English

Nice to have

French or Dutch is a big plus

What we offer

  • A competitive package
  • Flexible hybrid working from our London office
  • Private healthcare with Vitality
  • Growth opportunities in a fast-scaling tech company expanding into the US and beyond
  • Meaningful ownership from day one — this isn't a support role, it's a building role
  • Being part of a driven and inclusive team that is transforming the logistics industry
