Job snapshot: As Beyond's Senior In-house Legal Counsel, you will be the business's go-to legal expert, working as a standalone specialist responsible for a broad range of legal matters across the group and its global, international operations. This is a hands-on, commercially minded role: you will handle day-to-day legal work yourself, provide strategic guidance at leadership level, and build the playbooks, tools, and AI-enabled processes that let the wider business handle simpler matters with confidence. This is a great opportunity for an experienced legal professional to have real ownership and influence across a growing technology group.

Identify and implement opportunities to use AI to automate legal work where it is safe and appropriate to do so. Advise on risk management and dispute resolution, ensuring minimal legal exposure for Beyond.

Act as a liaison with external legal counsel on specialised issues and litigation matters when required. Serve as a trusted advisor to internal departments, including HR, Information Security, Finance, and Product, to align legal advice with Beyond's objectives.

Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust and rapport across different teams. Commercially savvy with a deep understanding of the tech industry and its evolving legal landscape. Good working knowledge & understanding of data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA) and related privacy regulations, especially how they apply to tech products and services. Hands-on experience with a Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) system, ideally having owned, implemented, or embedded one. A genuine interest in using AI and legal technology to work more efficiently, with the judgement to identify where automation can safely replace manual legal work and where it cannot. Solid experience advising on regulatory issues, ensuring Beyond remains compliant with evolving legal requirements. Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to convey complex legal issues clearly and concisely to non-legal stakeholders. A solution-oriented mindset, capable of offering practical legal advice that balances risk with commercial priorities.
