Legal Counsel

Job description

Are you ready to make some history?! Foleon is a leading content creation platform providing business teams with a fast and scalable way to produce highly-engaging content experiences that bring a new level of intelligence to their customer journeys. Foleon is based in Amsterdam and New York and serves more than 1,200 global B2B brands. We value people who are bold, ambitious, collaborative, and customer-centric. Even better, the ones who know how to work hard and have fun at the same time. We’re a team of highly driven people, with a great sense of human connection and a clear focus. Your Mission As a Legal Counsel, you’ll drive contracting across the business, from customer deals and vendor agreements to the templates and systems that keep everything moving, reporting to the Head of Legal. Based in Amsterdam, you’ll work closely with teams across Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Finance, across both EMEA and the US. You’ll handle day-to-day commercial contracting, with room to grow into owning the process end-to-end: reviewing, redlining, and negotiating customer agreements, often working directly with customers’ legal teams. On the vendor side, you’ll partner with the Head of Legal across the full contract lifecycle, from onboarding to renewal. As our Product offering grows, you’ll also increasingly work with Product on legal and compliance questions related to new features and data. You’ll also help maintain our contract management system, with the opportunity to grow into full ownership over time. This means keeping templates up to date, contracts organized, and the system easy for the rest of the business to use. Your Job Review, redline, and negotiate customer contracts for EMEA and US, looping in outside counsel when a deal needs it. Work directly with customers' legal teams to get agreements across the line. Review vendor and supplier agreements against company policy. Partner with the Head of Legal on the full vendor contract lifecycle, from onboarding to renewal. Join biweekly syncs with the Product team on upcoming features, and review feature summaries before they're built to flag legal and compliance questions early. Sit with Product and Development to see how a feature actually works, and flag anything in the UI or UX that needs a legal fix. Work with Marketing to keep legal disclaimers, external communications, and product names compliant (unfair competition, IP, third-party rights). Keep our MSAs, T&Cs, order forms, and DPAs current, working with the Head of Legal on amendments as our product and business change. Maintain our contract management system so templates and contracts are easy to find and track. Train commercial teams on negotiation and on using our CLM tool. Track changes in relevant laws, regulations, and case law, and apply that research to real decisions. Your Competencies & Skills Approachable and a clear communicator, you can explain legal concepts to non-legal stakeholders without losing anyone, and you keep turnaround times predictable. Comfortable representing Foleon directly in negotiations. Comfortable adjusting your schedule to overlap with teams across EMEA and US time zones. Detail-oriented: you catch the nuances in contract language that others miss. Curious about product, you ask questions, dig into the why behind a feature, and want to get closer to how the product gets built. Your Qualifications A law degree (Bachelor's or higher). At least 2 years of legal experience, ideally international. Experience negotiating commercial agreements, including service agreements, NDAs, and vendor contracts. Working knowledge of EU law. Familiarity with US law is a plus. Basic knowledge of AI regulation, such as the EU AI Act. Comfortable using AI tools in your daily work, with an interest in building workflows that make legal work more efficient. Tech, IT, or SaaS experience is a plus. Fluent English. Perks: 🏠 Hybrid working: Work 2–3 days in the office and the rest where you feel most productive. Plus, receive a monthly WFH allowance. 🚆 Commuting covered: Not living in Amsterdam? We’ve got you. Get an NS Business Card or receive up to €400/month. Smooth travels! 💸 Pension program: You're not in this alone, we also contribute to your pension plan! 📚 Learning budget: You’ll get €500 each year to spend on courses, books, workshops, or anything that helps you grow. 🌴 25 holiday days + bonus days: You’ll get 25 paid days off, and if Christmas or New Year’s falls on a weekend, you get an extra day. + Special days off! 🗓️ Floating holidays for inclusivity: Celebrate what matters to you. Move up to 2 public holidays per year to align with your cultural or religious observances. 🌍 Work from abroad: 2 times a year, you can work from another country for up to 3 weeks. 🥗 Office lunch: We’ll cover part of the cost of lunch at the office twice a week. 💪🏼 Fitness support: Stay active with up to €25/month toward your workouts, whether you’re into spinning, lifting, or just stretching. 🚴🏼 Lease a bike: Need a new ride? Lease (e)bike for commuting or personal use at an affordable rate. 🧠 Mental health matters: We offer access to a mental health platform and professional counseling. ❤️ Volunteer day: Take a paid day off each year to give back and support a cause close to your heart. 🌟 Employee recognition program: Get the kudos you deserve through our recognition program. Note: All our hiring is done in-house, so we’re not looking for agency support for this role. Thanks for understanding!
