How We Work
Our mission is to help create, develop, and support an environment where great people come to do their best work. We believe there is a balance to strike between “work hard, play hard,” and we strive to improve in both areas every day.
It All Comes Back To Our Core Values
We put our customers, employees, and communities at the center of everything we do.
The Role
This legal function is key to Nitro’s current growth strategy. As a provider of mainly SaaS services in the space of workflow productivity (for example Nitro PDF Pro and Nitro Sign), we handle some of our customer’s most sensitive data. As also our business keeps expanding internationally, our legal department needs reinforcement. That’s why Nitro is looking for a hands-on legal counsel who enables our Sales and Business teams to scale and grow in a compliant and safe environment.
We are building an international legal team and for this particular role we are looking for a true team player who is capable of supporting our team in NAMER and APAC. The main focus in this role will be on commercial contract negotiations and data protection, but also to manage general legal request within the region, if needed with external advisors. You will be the main point of contact within your region for legal requests.
Mission
As a Legal Counsel
You will contribute to Nitro’s strategic growth by being a true partner for our Sales and Business teams and assist them in complex contract negotiations. You will also collaborate with security and compliance teams, ensuring our products and services are being developed in a secure and compliant way. You will be involved in designing legal operations and setting up processes to make workstreams more efficient. In tight collaboration with our Legal Counsel (Europe), you will design the future legal roadmap for Nitro and assist in implementing it. You will have to prioritize and paint the bigger picture behind individual ideas or features.
Examples of topics you’ll be expected to contribute to:
You will also assist our DPO Office, currently consisting of our Head of Compliance, VP Product eSign (@Filip Verreth) and Legal Counsel .
You will contribute to building a transparent and business enabling Legal function, in line with Nitro’s focus on empowering the team. We’d also love you to contribute your ideas to improve our legal operations, especially on the contracts and privacy side.
About Nitro’s culture, the team is not hierarchical: We all collaborate, brainstorm and help each other make the best decisions. Work is not delegated at Nitro; you would identify the priorities you think are truly important and the projects on which you think you can create the most value. You will be able to collaborate with any stakeholder that is relevant to the projects you choose to lead. Other members of the Legal team will support you and set you up for success by helping you adapt quickly to Nitro’s culture and work methods.
