The key bits

Help us help the world agree more.

Juro has big ambitions: de-throne MS Word and DocuSign as the default way to agree contracts online. And we'll need a lot of help doing it**.**

Legal tech on the rise: companies in this space already attracted more than $1 billion in funding this year as the slow-moving industry digitises. With 3x annual revenue growth, we're in a great position to pilot this change.

⚔️ The challenge:

We’ve more than tripled revenue, operate globally and have grown 4x in team size in the last 24 months (≥90 today), with hubs in London and Riga as well as a small but significant amount of remote employees in other locations.

This growth is set to continue, and with it come a range of compliance and business enablement challenges to address.

Juro is built for lawyers and our CEO & Co-founder Richard is an ex-lawyer (who has also been our de facto GC until now). Even so, we are at the right phase in our growth to bring in a strategic legal leader to enable the business and mitigate key risks.

👉 Where you come in:

We are looking for our first legal leader. Someone who gets that legal can be an enabler of growth through effective business partnering and believes in Juro as a product that can help in that fight.

We will ask you to work across three main areas...

1. Business enablement
2. Risk and compliance
3. Community engagement

...utilising pragmatism, your own expertise and owning external counsel relationships.

It will be a hard role that offers a huge amount of learning and responsibility (such as advising the Board).

🌠 Your mission

To enable the business to grow sustainably by protecting the company from legal risk.

This means:

1. Business enablement:
   • ensure all teams receive reliable, pragmatic and commercial legal advice
   • own the process of templating and negotiating commercial, HR and vendor contracts
   • advise the Board on corporate governance, transactions and structuring
   • own legal operations and the “engine” for the delivery of legal services internally

+ manage the company’s relationships with external counsel to support the above

1. Risk and compliance:
   • ensure compliance with all other relevant laws + regulations (e.g. electronic signature etc.)
   • protect the company from present and future risks (e.g. trademark disputes, litigation etc.)
   • take responsibility for data protection, either as DPO yourself or supervising an external DPO

+ manage the company’s relationships with external counsel to support the above

1. Community engagement:
   • engage in thought leadership on how in-house legal teams should run
   • chair events and webinars for Juro on topics ranging from legal operations to regulatory updates
   • advocate and evangelise for Juro’s mission and product in the wider community

While you will be the first legal hire at Juro, we expect over time that you will build a team that you will lead. We conservatively plan 1 FTE in your team in the next 12 months, with more thereafter.
