Job Description

Join an ambitious, fast-growing deep tech scale-up at the heart of digital innovation. As Senior Legal Counsel, reporting directly to the General Counsel, you will have a key impact within a dynamic, fast-paced environment, leveraging your expertise to drive meaningful outcomes.

Working at the intersection of technology and business, you will collaborate with teams spanning business and product development, engineering, finance, and marketing. Your success will depend on your ability to navigate complex legal challenges, rapidly adapt to new technologies and regulatory frameworks, and proactively advise on emerging areas that may lack established precedent.

This role is ideal for a creative, business-minded legal professional eager to deliver results and craft pragmatic solutions in close partnership with a multidisciplinary team in a rapidly evolving industry.

Key Responsibilities

• Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of contracts (IT, services, consulting, advisory, contractor, finance, SaaS, licensing, marketing, NDA, partnership, JV, LOI, etc.) in both French and international contexts, ensuring legal security and business effectiveness;
• Design bespoke, innovative contractual solutions for novel deals and pioneering business models where market standards are not yet established;
• Support the General Counsel in managing legal matters for the French parent company and its Swiss subsidiary, across both daily operations and strategic projects.
• Assist the General Counsel with corporate matters, including annual accounts approval, intra-group agreements, delegation of authority, formalities with French authorities (guichet unique), and the allocation of BSPCE, BSA, and tokens.
• Participate in M&A, fundraising rounds, creation of subsidiaries, and extraordinary transactions.
• Support the COO in employment matters by generating CDI and contractor agreements (on the basis of our internal templates), salary amendment addendums, and HR policies.
• Assist in updating GDPR documentation;
• Serve as a liaison between our patent agent and inventors to facilitate smooth patent application processes;
• Actively contribute to improving internal processes and developing legal templates;
• Coordinate with external counsel when needed (tax, export control, MiCA, etc.).
