At Joko, our mission is to we help consumers save time and money when shopping online or in-store.

It's still day 1, come build the future of shopping with us!

This position is remote-friendly.

As Legal Counsel, Commercial & IP, you will work hand in hand with our business teams to negotiate the partnerships that drive Joko's growth, and you will own our contracts, IP, commercial disputes and insurance. You will report directly to the Head of Legal (Maya).

• Define the legal framework for Juno, our AI shopping assistant: our rights to merchant content and catalogue data, the use of third-party brands and logos in the app and our marketing, and the ownership of AI-generated content.

• Protect the Joko brands across our markets with our IP counsel, from trademarks, domain names, oppositions and renewals to action against third parties that infringe our rights.

• Work with Product and Marketing to secure new features and brands before they launch.

• Sit alongside the business teams in their negotiations with merchants and brands: partnership agreements, data-sharing contracts, CPG and B2B deals, and the contracts for our new business lines.

• Structure our merchant and brand relationships so they hold up under French and EU rules on restrictive commercial practices, including significant imbalance and the abrupt termination of established commercial relationships.

• Lead or support the negotiation of contracts on exclusivity, most-favoured-nation, competition law risks and parity clauses.

• Build the templates, playbooks, red lines and fallback positions the business teams use every day, and turn them into AI skills.

• Handle disputes with merchants, partners and suppliers together with the teams who own the relationship, from formal notices to settlement, protecting both our position and the relationship.

• Brief and manage our litigation counsel when a dispute goes to court.

• Own our insurance programme (D&O, cyber, travel and any new line), from renewals to claims, and build an international programme with our brokers so coverage follows us into each new country.

• Experience in commercial disputes, restrictive commercial practices or IP/IT matters related to AI is a strong plus.

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. Functional ownership is formalised as soon as the Commercial & IP and Product & Privacy seats are both filled.
