Job Description

Join our commercial legal team and work on cutting-edge contracts with our go-to-market teams!

We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Senior Legal Counsel to elevate our commercial legal function, which currently consists of three dedicated legal professionals and is bolstered by a robust larger legal team.

As Senior Legal Counsel, Commercial at Coveo, you will work collaboratively with all our go-to-market functions, with a particular focus on our sales team and Deal Desk (finance) team, to drive commercial agreements to successful completion.

As one of our Senior Legal Counsel, you will :

  • Draft, negotiate and review a wide range of SaaS commercial contracts, including enterprise-level customer agreements / MSAs, DPAs, SLAs, partnership agreements and related SOWs, and much more.
  • Handle the legal aspects of commercial deals from inception to closing.
  • Provide legal advice to the leadership team in connection with commercial matters and risk management, and opportunistically on regulatory, compliance and privacy issues.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders, including all go-to-market teams, Product and R&D, to align legal strategy with business goals.
  • Work with our legal privacy / compliance function on several cross-functional initiatives and assist our procurement function on critical procurement deals.
  • Develop and implement procedures to streamline legal commercial operations.

Here is what will qualify you for the role :

  • Over 4 years of legal experience, including at least 2 years in-house focused on commercial matters in North America or Europe.
  • Direct client experience, preferably in a sell-side capacity (selling products rather than purchasing).
  • Strong negotiation skills, adept at managing complex discussions with empathy, humility, and professionalism.
  • Strong business acumen and problem-solving abilities to provide strategic advisory support, along with excellent written and spoken English proficiency.

What will make you stand out :

  • Experience working in tech or SaaS environments, ideally in-house on the sell-side; familiarity with complex products is a bonus.
  • Strong in risk management for fast-paced environments, with solid analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional communication skills.
  • Background or interest in AI, machine learning, data privacy (GDPR, etc.), and IP matters; privacy certifications (CIPP) or security exposure is a plus.
  • Knowledge of or enthusiasm to learn Coveo's technology and offerings.

Do you think you can bring this role to life? Or add your own color? You don't need to check every single box; passion goes a long way and we appreciate that skillsets are transferable.

Send us your application, we want to hear from you!
