Job Description

Legal Counsel

Athennian

Role Description We are seeking a commercially-minded Legal Counsel to join our team in Toronto. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Strategic Finance, you will serve as the founding member of our internal legal function — a unique opportunity to shape how Legal operates as a true strategic partner across the business. This is a high-ownership, high-variety role with real organizational influence. You'll be the primary legal voice at the table, advising leadership on a diverse range of matters and helping the business move forward with confidence. A cornerstone of this role is leading our commercial legal strategy, specifically managing the velocity of SaaS negotiations for our US customer base. You will act as a true business partner, applying sound commercial intuition to complex legal matters and providing decisive guidance even in the face of ambiguity. If you're a lawyer who thrives on variety, wants to build something meaningful from the ground up, and is energized by being a genuine stakeholder in business outcomes — rather than one voice among many in a large legal department — this is an exciting place to do that work. Qualifications - 3–5 years of private practice experience, followed by 2+ years working in-house at a high-growth technology company. - Juris Doctor (JD) or equivalent and a member in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario. - A demonstrated ability to make commercial and risk-based decisions and operate with sometimes imperfect information — balancing legal soundness with business reality. - Strong familiarity with US commercial law and market standards (liability caps, indemnities, SaaS contracting norms), given our predominantly US-based customer base. - Proven ability to navigate ambiguity, manage a high volume of varied legal tasks autonomously, and build process where little exists. - Demonstrated proficiency with CRM (HubSpot), Contract Management Systems, and a genuine interest in Legal AI tools. Requirements - Lead the end-to-end review, drafting, and negotiation of SaaS master service agreements (MSAs), NDAs, and vendor contracts. - Work closely with Finance, Sales, and Leadership to ensure legal terms align with business objectives, revenue recognition policies, and long-term strategic goals. - Advise leadership on corporate governance matters, intellectual property protection, and regulatory compliance (e.g., Sanctions, AML, privacy). - Act as a legal stakeholder for our "Athennian Intelligence" initiatives, advising on data privacy, AI ethics, and intellectual property rights related to our automated legal workflows. - Identify and implement legal technology to reduce contract turnaround time and manage external counsel spend. Benefits - Minimum of 3 weeks vacation, 5 sick days, and 6 personal/flex days, plus a company-wide winter holiday shutdown. - Health, dental, and vision, long-term disability, and a Health Spending Account (HSA). - Flexible parental leave benefits, including top-ups. - A dedicated work-from-home allowance to get you set up for success.
