About the Job

Requirements

  • A law degree and active OAB registration are required.
  • Solid end-to-end experience with commercial technology contracts, including SaaS, licensing, partnerships, and privacy/LGPD.
  • Fluency in using AI in day-to-day work and building agents to optimize work and productivity.
  • Ability to negotiate directly with clients and suppliers without relying on external counsel for day-to-day work.
  • Ability to translate legal risk into business language for founders, sales, and product teams.
  • Rigor and attention to detail in contract drafting, with prioritization that avoids slowing commercial activity.
  • Comfort operating in a highly ambiguous, rapidly growing environment without an established legal structure.

Responsibilities

  • Own the commercial contract lifecycle by drafting, reviewing, and negotiating client, supplier, and partner contracts from draft through signature, with clear timelines and risks.
  • Structure the privacy and data-protection program under LGPD by mapping platform data processing, maintaining DPAs with clients and suppliers, conducting risk assessments (RIPD/DPIA) when needed, and coordinating incident response.
  • Provide direct legal support to Sales and Customer Success by negotiating clauses with clients, reviewing commercial proposals, and removing legal friction from deal closing.
  • Assess product and AI-agent privacy risks by working with Product and Engineering to review features before launch, especially the processing of sensitive HR and payroll data by AI agents.
  • Manage contractual and compliance aspects of suppliers, ensuring critical integrations such as eSocial, banks, and benefits providers have current contracts and DPAs.
  • Build and maintain the legal function’s contract templates, standard clauses, and internal privacy policies to improve speed and consistency as the company scales.
  • Serve as a point of contact for related regulatory compliance by answering LGPD and data-protection questions from clients, prospects, and internal teams.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in HRTech, FinTech, or companies that process sensitive data at scale.
  • Experience with regulatory integrations.
  • Experience in seed-, Series A-, or Series B-stage startups without a pre-existing legal structure.
  • Certification or specialization in data protection, such as DPO or CIPP/E.
  • Advanced English.
