What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a VP, Legal to lead our European legal function as we scale. This is a leadership role for someone who thinks as much about how legal work gets done as what legal work gets done — someone who can build a team and a system, not just clear a queue. You’ll manage a team of corporate and commercial lawyers, own commercial contracting end-to-end for our European customers and partners, and support corporate governance and M&A activity. Just as importantly, you’ll reimagine how the legal function operates: identifying where technology, process redesign, and smarter workflows can dramatically expand what the team is capable of, so legal becomes an accelerant for the business.

• Commercial Contracting: Own the commercial contracting function, including playbooks, templates, negotiation strategy, and escalation paths. Set the standard for turnaround time and risk calibration as deal volume grows.
• Corporate Governance & M&A: Support local corporate governance matters (entity management; compliance) and play a role in European M&A activity — diligence, integration support, and related transactional work.
• Team Leadership: Manage, coach, and grow a team of corporate and commercial lawyers. Set priorities, develop talent, and build a culture of high ownership and pragmatic judgment.
• Operational Transformation: Take a hard look at how the team works today and redesign it for where the business is going. Support the evaluation and implementation of contract lifecycle management tools, AI-assisted drafting and review, workflow automation, and self-service resources for the business. Help to build scalable processes that let the team support significantly more volume and complexity without proportional headcount growth.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Work closely with Sales, Finance, Revenue Operations, Product, and other business partners to embed legal into their workflows rather than sit downstream of them. Identify friction points in how the business engages legal and fix them.
  
  

Must Have:
• JD and active bar membership in good standing
• 10+ years of relevant legal experience, including significant in-house experience at a B2B SaaS or technology company
• Deep expertise in commercial contracting (SaaS agreements, MSAs, data/privacy terms, partnership and vendor agreements)
• Prior experience managing and developing a legal team
• A track record of building or significantly improving legal operations — not just using tools, but choosing and implementing them, and redesigning workflows around them
• Strong business judgment and comfort operating with ambiguity and incomplete information
• Excellent communication skills and the credibility to influence senior stakeholders across the business
• A bias toward pragmatic, scalable solutions over perfect, bespoke ones

Nice to Have:
• Experience with corporate governance and M&A
• Experience with European data privacy and AI regulatory frameworks

Our Values 

At JAGGAER, our business is about people. Our products are built on intellectual property, but the real differentiator is the teams behind them–the way we collaborate, innovate, solve problems, and deliver for customers. TEAM gives us a common set of expectations for how we work together across products, cultures, and geographies.

Transparency – Openness Builds Trust
Candor strengthens relationships, speeds decision-making, and ensures problems are solved together—with customers, teammates, and partners.

Entrepreneurial Spirit – Own It, Drive It, Make It
A scrappy, customer-obsessed, problem-solving mindset is at the cornerstone of both organizational and personal growth.

Accountability – Thumbs In, Not Fingers Out
We take responsibility for ourselves before pointing elsewhere.

Metrics-Driven Results – Outcomes Over Activities
Data and evidence guide our decisions, help us correct courses quickly, and ensure we’re delivering real impact.
