Who you are

You are comfortable making legal decisions and giving legal advice. You have a taste for legal research and aren’t afraid to dig into the unknown until you find the answer, whether it’s hiring in a new market or staying ahead of shifting legal requirements and industry standards. A variety of legal topics in a startup environment is of interest to you. You have a hunger to make an impact and hit the ground running whilst thinking. You understand the commercial reality behind every contract. You're not here to slow deals down, but to make sure we move forward on the right terms.

• Legal Structure: By joining us as the first legal hire at Unosecur, you get the opportunity to implement a legal structure to prepare us for the next stage of growth by setting up templates, playbooks and approval flows whilst maintaining and organising our legal documentation library and all legal templates.
