We are seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive Group Legal Counsel to join our growing team. This role will provide critical support to the Legal Department across a variety of corporate, commercial, compliance, and administrative legal matters. The ideal candidate will ideally be based in the the US and possess professional fluency in both English and Spanish, as they will support legal matters and documentation involving Spanish-speaking stakeholders and operations in Spanish-speaking jurisdictions.

This is an excellent opportunity for a strong, commercially minded, high-performing legal professional who enjoys working in a fast-paced, international business environment and partnering closely with executive leadership, outside counsel, and cross-functional teams.

• Act as a strategic legal partner at the group level, advising, reviewing and supporting negotiations on large client project agreements, partnerships, and vendor/supplier contracts across entities and jurisdictions.
• Support fundraising activity: coordinate diligence, review and negotiate term sheets, MoUs, subscription agreements, SAFEs/convertible instruments, and related financing documents alongside outside counsel and finance.
• Review and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, from high-value client/vendor contracts to routine administrative documentation.
• Partner with corporate finance on transactional matters, including entity structuring, intercompany agreements, and support for M&A or investment activity as needed.

• Lead entity management, board documentation, and corporate record maintenance across the group's legal entities, spanning multiple jurisdictions (including Spain, the US, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and India).
• Own regulatory filings, corporate compliance requirements, and monitoring of key deadlines and renewals across all jurisdictions where the group operates.
• Design and drive internal compliance initiatives and policy management, ensuring policies are actually usable and adopted, not just written.
• Flag legal and regulatory risk proactively to leadership, with practical recommendations rather than just issue-spotting.

• Draft, review, and translate legal, corporate, and business documents between English and Spanish; support Spanish-speaking employees, vendors, customers, and legal advisors.
• Coordinate with local counsel across the group's jurisdictions; including Spain, the US, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and India; to align global agreements with local law and practice.
  
  Note:
  
  the company is actively expanding internationally, so this footprint will likely grow.
• Serve as a central point of contact for cross-border legal questions, helping the business navigate differing regulatory, employment, and contracting norms across regions.
• Proactively build familiarity with the regulatory norms of new jurisdictions as the company expands into them, rather than waiting to be asked.
• Flag where local law expertise or local counsel input is needed, and manage those relationships efficiently to avoid duplicated or unnecessary external spend.
