Sr. Legal Counsel (Commercial)

We're looking for a commercially minded Senior Legal Counsel to join our growing EMEA Legal team, based in the Netherlands.

In this role, you'll be the trusted legal partner to our Sales organisation across the BeNeNord region, helping the business navigate complex deals, manage risk pragmatically, and support growth. You'll spend much of your time advising on commercial contracts and negotiations, while also providing guidance on employment-related matters in close partnership with our People team.

This is a highly visible role where you'll work closely with Sales leaders and stakeholders across Legal, Finance, Security, Privacy, Product, Marketing and People. We're looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, finding practical solutions, and helping a business move forward rather than simply identifying risks.

If you thrive in a fast-paced SaaS environment, enjoy rolling up your sleeves, and want to be part of a collaborative team that values initiative and fresh thinking, we'd love to hear from you.

• Become a trusted advisor to our Sales teams, helping them structure, negotiate and close commercial agreements across the BeNeNord region.
• Draft, review and negotiate a wide range of customer, partner and technology agreements, including SaaS, cloud services, professional services, reseller agreements, NDAs and data processing addendums.
• Partner with stakeholders across Sales, Finance, Security, Privacy, Product and Delivery to move deals efficiently while balancing commercial objectives and legal risk.
• Provide practical, solution-oriented advice on commercial, regulatory, privacy and employment law matters.
• Support the People team on employee-related issues including employment documentation, investigations, performance matters, reorganisations and terminations.
• Help improve contracting processes, playbooks, templates and guidance that enable the business to scale effectively.
• Contribute to regional and global legal initiatives and collaborate closely with colleagues across the wider EMEA Legal team.

Our Netherlands benefits package includes 30 days' annual leave, a 15% employer pension contribution, ESPP participation, additional paid wellbeing days, flexible public holidays, professional development support, home office reimbursement and discounted gym membership.
