The Role

We are looking for a privacy-minded legal specialist to support our founders on data privacy compliance and commercial contracts, 10 to 15 hours per week.

Most of our day-to-day legal work is already handled with strong internal tooling and AI. What we need is a sharp person who can research a question properly, apply good judgment, and help the founders make the important calls with confidence. You do not need to be a practising lawyer.

This is a flexible, remote, part-time contract role with a direct line to the co-founders. The hours are steady every week, and you can organise them around your other commitments.
