  • Develop templates, playbooks, and process improvements to standardize contracting and reduce friction for business teams.
  • Support corporate governance, compliance, and data privacy initiatives as the company expands globally.
  • Manage contract reporting, and data tracking to provide visibility into contract status and key metrics.
  • Partner with leadership to identify legal risks and provide proactive, solution-oriented guidance.
  • Serve as a connector between the legal function and the rest of the organization — ensuring alignment, transparency, and trust.

Requirements

  • JD degree and active license to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
  • 5–7 years of experience in commercial contracting in a SaaS or technology environment.
  • Strong understanding of SaaS deal structures, subscription models, and data privacy considerations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
  • Experience building or managing legal operations functions, including process design and AI-powered legal tools.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to translate legal language into business terms.
  • Self-starter who enjoys taking ownership and making a meaningful impact in a nimble organization.
  • (Preferred) Experience working with international teams and cross-border agreements.

Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises.
