What you'll do

As Legal Counsel, you will be the first point of contact for every team at Joko, working hand in hand with them on the full range of legal questions, from contracts and data protection to employment and new projects. You will report directly to the Head of Legal (Maya).

🚀 What you will do

  • Answer the legal questions that come from every team, on any area of law, with clear recommendations they can act on.

  • Join new projects, products and partnerships early to analyse them from a legal standpoint, with the Head of Legal and the specialist counsels, so legal input shapes them from the start.

  • Improve the AI tools that let employees get answers to standard questions without waiting for a lawyer.

📝 Contracts and data protection

  • Draft, review and negotiate contracts across Joko's activity: suppliers, tools, merchants, freelancers and partners.

  • Apply and improve our templates and playbooks with the Commercial & IP counsel, based on what the teams need day to day.

  • Run key parts of our GDPR programme with the Product & Privacy counsel: data subject requests, processor agreements and the records of processing.

👥 Employment

  • Partner with the People team on their employment questions, in France and in our other entities.

  • Help People turn recurring situations into processes they can run on their own.

  • Brief and coordinate our external employment counsel.

🙌 Who you are

  • You have 2 to 4 years of experience, including time in a top-tier law firm or an in-house legal team.

  • You want breadth: you enjoy moving from a contract negotiation to a GDPR question and an employment issue in the same week.

  • Experience in French employment law is a strong plus.

  • You hold a Master's degree in private or business law from a leading French law school. Admission to the Paris Bar is a plus.

  • You are fluent in French and English.

  • You are rigorous, autonomous and curious about how AI and automation can change legal work.

What we tell you upfront. Until the three poles are staffed, every Legal Counsel works across the full legal scope with the Head of Legal.
