Job description

As our first in-house lawyer, you own Amenitiz's commercial legal agenda: contracts, disputes and data protection. Amenitiz is an all-in-one platform for independent hoteliers in France, Spain, Italy and Portugal, and today every legal topic goes to external firms. You bring that work in-house, decide what still goes out and on what budget, and give the business decisions it can act on. You report to the VP Finance and work on site in Barcelona.

What you will do

• Run the legal check on every new contract and renewal: SaaS terms, MSAs, DPAs, order forms and vendor agreements, with AI handling the first pass.

• Own disputes and claims end to end: strategy, evidence, negotiation and settlement, with external advocates only where the law requires them.

• Own GDPR and data protection, including the questions our hotel customers raise.

• Build the function: a register of every contract and obligation, a ticketing flow, playbooks and plain-language customer terms.

• Set the scope and budget for external firms, and give People and Payment Operations a first read on employment and payments topics, bringing in specialists where needed.

What you bring

• Qualified to practise law in Spain, with 5 to 7 years post-qualification on a law firm foundation. In-house years at a tech or SaaS company are a big plus.

• B2B technology contracts you drafted and negotiated end to end, not only reviewed.

• Commercial disputes or pre-litigation claims you ran yourself, and a view on when to settle and when to fight.

• Working depth in GDPR: DPAs, records of processing, data subject requests and breach handling.

• Full professional Spanish and English, and you're based in Barcelona or open to relocating.

Nice to have

French or Italian; experience as the only or first lawyer in a company; Spanish corporate housekeeping; daily use of AI tools in legal work.
