Descrição
Talkdesk is seeking a commercially minded Commercial Legal Counsel to join its EMEA legal team. In this in-house role, you will serve as the primary legal partner to Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Partner teams across Europe, supporting a fast-scaling SaaS business in a high-velocity deal environment. Your primary focus will be commercial contracting—negotiating and closing enterprise SaaS agreements, partner and channel agreements, and procurement deals—while also contributing to data privacy (GDPR/UK GDPR), subsidiary governance, employment matters, and IP protection.
You will draft, review, and negotiate a high volume of enterprise agreements including MSAs, Order Forms, ELAs, NDAs, and Security Questionnaires. You'll provide legal guidance on GDPR and data protection regulations, manage Data Processing Agreements and international data transfer mechanisms, and stay current on evolving EU/UK legislation including the AI Act and NIS2. Additionally, you will contribute to building legal operations infrastructure, support EMEA subsidiary governance, advise on employment law matters, and collaborate with Finance, Sales Operations, and Compliance teams.
This role offers meaningful autonomy, scope for career progression, mentorship from an experienced General Counsel, and broad exposure across multiple legal disciplines as Talkdesk scales its international footprint. You will work in a remote-first model with flexibility across European time zones.
