About You
You are a strategic thinker. You manage complexity with ease and are comfortable making decisions that balance legal risk and business needs.

You are highly accountable with a strong bias for action. You keep stakeholders informed of project timelines and appropriately manage time-sensitive deliverables.
You collaborate and build trust-based relationships across stakeholder groups.
You are an expert in simplifying complex legal concepts to the business.
Above all, you’re proactive, positive, and inspired by Knix and our mission!
The Opportunity
Act as a strategic partner and advisor to the Knix leadership team. Lead legal projects and drive legal and compliance initiatives.
Provide proactive planning and strategic advice to the business on regulatory issues impacting the business.
Support management decisions with robust risk assessments and ensure senior management is aware of legal trends and developments as well as risk exposure.
Provide advice and guidance on corporate governance matters.
Develop internal guidelines, policies and procedures for managing legal and compliance risks.
Manage various types of litigation that may arise with the assistance of external counsel.
Coordinate external legal counsel reviews as required.
Oversee contract negotiations and renewals.
Provide training and education to the Knix team on legal, regulatory, and compliance issues impacting the business.
Manage the legal budget including external counsel and strategic initiatives.
Collaborate with Essity to provide globally aligned legal advice.
Qualifications
Minimum of 6-10 years direct experience in the legal practice of commercial, marketing, or consumer products law, with increasing responsibility and team management.
In-house experience is an asset.
Understanding of core Canadian commercial best practices and appreciation for the key areas of legal difference across Canada and the United States.
Experience managing compliance-related obligations is a benefit, including implementing and overseeing internal controls to ensure compliance with state/provincial, federal or international regulations or laws.
Experience building and maintaining a new function or program is preferred.
Strong relationship-building, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
Proven ability to successfully multitask, remain responsive and agile to changes in business priorities, and to deliver pragmatic, risk-based recommendations to the business.
Demonstrated ability to work and manage time spent on projects independently and with little supervision while performing duties.
Experience guiding teams in implementing legal or compliance projects.
Experience implementing and using legal department technology is a benefit.
