With nearly 50 employees across 14 countries and having recently closed our Series B round last November with support from leading investors including Y Combinator, DRW, F-Prime, Jump Capital, Castle Island, and Green Visor Capital, we’re looking for people like you to help shape the future rails of the crypto industry!

The Role

We’re seeking a commercially minded Commercial Counsel based in Europe to work closely with and support our General Counsel, who is based in the New York City area. You’ll help manage sophisticated international commercial transactions with leading global banks, financial institutions, and other multinational companies, advise internal business teams, and support the development of our legal operations and AI capabilities. This is a hands-on role requiring strong commercial judgment, technical understanding, and the ability to navigate complex legal and regulatory requirements across jurisdictions worldwide.

Where You’ll Work

This is a 100% remote role open to candidates based in Europe.

What You’ll Be Doing

*

Draft, review, and negotiate complex SaaS, partnership, and other commercial agreements, including DPAs, DORA Addenda, information security exhibits, and jurisdiction-specific regulatory and outsourcing addenda.

*

Support the General Counsel in managing international commercial negotiations, while independently handling assigned contracts and projects.

*

Implement AI-powered legal tools, improve contracting workflows, and drive legal operations and process improvements.

*

Work with Security, Engineering, and other technical teams to ensure contractual commitments accurately reflect Notabene’s technology, security controls, and operational practices.

*

Advise Sales, Customer Success, and other teams on commercial legal matters and prepare the agreements, templates, and other documents they need.

What You’ll Need

*

Native-level or fully fluent written and spoken English, with a track record of independently drafting and negotiating complex legal documentation in English.

*

Fully qualified lawyer in an EU jurisdiction with 3–5 years of post-qualification experience, ideally gained within top-tier law firms, fast-growing tech environments, or a mix of both.

*

Extensive experience driving end-to-end negotiations for complex enterprise technology agreements, particularly with highly regulated or global corporate clients.

*

Strong foundation in European regulatory frameworks relevant to tech companies, including data protection, privacy, and sector-specific operational/outsourcing requirements, along with the ability to adapt to international regulatory regimes.

*

A commercially minded approach to risk management – able to balance business growth with legal exposure, articulate clear risks to stakeholders, and discern strict legal/regulatory imperatives from negotiable commercial points.

*

Ability to deliver rapid turnarounds in a fast-moving startup environment, with the willingness to work flexibly across international time zones.

Sample interview questionsHow do you approach negotiating a complex SaaS agreement with a highly regulated financial institution?I first identify the customer’s non-negotiable regulatory and risk requirements, then map them against the company’s actual product, security controls, and operating model. I prioritize the highest-impact issues, such as liability, data protection, audit rights, security, outsourcing, and service commitments, while proposing commercially workable alternatives for less critical points.

Describe how you would ensure contractual security commitments accurately reflect technical reality.

I would work directly with Security and Engineering to understand documented controls, incident processes, architecture, and relevant certifications or assessments. I would use approved security schedules and fallback language, avoid overpromising, and establish a review process for any customer-specific commitments that depart from standard practice.

How would you balance a sales team’s urgency with legal risk in a fast-growing startup?

I would communicate the practical impact of legal risks in clear business terms and distinguish mandatory legal requirements from negotiable commercial positions. Where timing is critical, I would offer risk-ranked options, approved fallback clauses, and escalation paths so the business can make informed decisions without unnecessarily delaying revenue.

What experience is most relevant when advising on European data protection and outsourcing obligations?

Relevant experience includes reviewing data-processing roles, international data-transfer mechanisms, security and breach provisions, audit rights, subprocessor terms, and retention requirements. For outsourcing, I would assess the applicable regulatory framework, ensure the agreement supports oversight and exit requirements, and confirm that obligations can be operationally fulfilled.

How would you improve a contracting workflow using AI tools?

I would begin by identifying repetitive, low-risk tasks such as intake triage, clause extraction, playbook-guided redlining, and contract metadata capture. I would implement tools with clear human review, access controls, and data-handling safeguards, then measure improvements through turnaround time, deviation rates, and stakeholder feedback.
