🎯 The Position
As a key strategic partner driving our international growth, you will work closely with our commercial, product, and operational teams on a daily basis. Your primary objective will be to secure our operations, accelerate deal closing, and structure our compliance framework within a fast-growing tech environment.
Your main responsibilities will be to:
•Commercial contracts: draft, review, and negotiate agreements — framework agreements, service and subscription contracts, SLAs, amendments, NDAs, DPAs, and RFP responses — with hotel groups and partners, including prospect-imposed formats, while protecting D-EDGE's interests (term, exit, liability).
•Business partnering: support sales and product teams directly to accelerate deal closing, arbitrate risk, and give pragmatic, actionable advice; standardise contract templates and processes to increase the teams' autonomy and speed.
•Supplier and procurement contracts: review, negotiate, and manage supplier and vendor contracts (SaaS and inbound licences, service providers, freelance and consulting agreements, leases, and recurring purchases).
•Intellectual property and product: advise on software licensing, data use, and terms of service, including the general terms and conditions and changes to business models.
•Data protection and compliance: advise on GDPR (processing activities, transfers, cookies, policies), prepare for the AI Act (provider/deployer qualification), manage data incidents and breaches end to end with the data protection officer and external counsel, and respond to partner audits and due diligence.
•Corporate: support corporate matters and manage confidential and strategic files.
•External counsel management: coordinate law firms, on time and on budget.
🦸‍♂️ What You'll Bring
•Master's degree (bac+5)
•Six or more years of experience in commercial law and data protection, ideally in a law firm followed by an in-house role, preferably in tech or SaaS.
•Proven track record drafting and negotiating high-volume contracts in both French and English.
•Solid knowledge of GDPR.
•Fluent French and English, written and spoken.
•Hands-on and operational: comfortable running matters directly on a day-to-day basis, not only at a strategic or advisory level.
•Business mindset: translates legal analysis into operational decisions and balances legal risk against commercial objectives.
•Autonomy and ownership: manages files from first draft to signature with minimal supervision.
•Resilience under volume and deadline pressure, staying calm on urgent and sensitive matters.
•Clear, accessible communication with non-legal stakeholders at all levels of the organisation.
•Rigour, sense of priorities, discretion, and integrity.
