Introduction to the Team & Role
At 360Learning, we transform how companies learn and collaborate. To support our growth, we are looking for a Senior Contract Counsel.
Reporting directly to the VP Legal & DPO, you will be at the heart of our commercial engine for the US, Canada, and UK regions. You will protect the company while acting as a business accelerator. As a strategic partner to our Sales and Customer Success teams, you will drive deals from initial contact to closing. You don’t just "review" clauses; you build solutions.
You will be joining a team where mutual support is the rule, not the exception. While your primary focus is our North American and British markets, you will thrive in an environment where expertise is d across borders. You will bring your Common Law mastery to the table and, in return, won’t hesitate to lend a hand on other regions (mainly French negotiation) or cross-functional projects (IP, Compliance, etc.) based on the team's priorities.
Together, we shape the company’s global doctrine, particularly on cutting-edge issues like Privacy and the AI Act.
A message from the Hiring Coach
"Joining our team means choosing an environment where you manage deals directly and autonomously, but where you’re never left alone with a complex problem. Being autonomous doesn’t mean working in a vacuum; it requires transparency and collaboration. Within our team, we our wins, our hurdles on a specific clause, and our insights on AI or Privacy.
We are looking for someone technically solid who wants to be hands-on with the business, without being confined to their geographic zone. If you love negotiating, have a sharp sense of priorities, and value the idea of learning as much as you teach within a small, tight-knit team, we’ll get along great."
