This position is remote-friendly from France and Spain.

Our Legal Team

At Joko, the Legal team plays a pivotal role in ensuring that we operate within the bounds of the law while driving innovation and scaling our business. We are business partners, not just gatekeepers. Our team is committed to safeguarding Joko’s interests, supporting our ambitious projects, and fostering trust with our users, customers, and partners.

We oversee all key areas of law that impact our business, including corporate law, data protection, labor law, IP, commercial contracts, etc. across both France, our historical market, and the US where we are expanding.

As the Head of Legal, you’ll lead this team, supporting every aspect of our operations and strategy with robust legal expertise.

What you will do

As Head of Legal at Joko, your responsibilities will include:

  1. Strategic Legal Leadership: Act as a trusted advisor to the executive team, providing strategic guidance on legal matters that impact Joko’s operations, products, and growth strategy.
  2. Team Building and Management: Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing legal team, ensuring alignment with Joko’s values and business goals.
  3. Commercial and Contractual Support: Oversee negotiations and draft commercial agreements with clients, partners, and vendors, ensuring Joko’s interests are protected.
  4. Compliance and Risk Management: Develop and implement legal and compliance frameworks to ensure Joko adheres to all relevant regulations, including GDPR, consumer protection laws, and other applicable standards.
  5. Corporate Governance: Manage all corporate legal matters, including board governance, equity-related activities, and investor relations, ensuring legal and regulatory compliance.
  6. GDPR: Partner with our DPO to ensure comprehensive GDPR compliance, including maintaining our personal data treatment register and privacy policy, implementing robust IT security protocols, and collaborating with the product team toward a privacy-by-design approach.
  7. Labor law: Ensure that we establish a best-in-class legal framework for our employees: fully comply with our ‘accord d’entreprise,’ draft employment contracts and all necessary documents in accordance with labor law, and coordinate CSE management.
  8. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Operations, Marketing, and Finance teams to align legal strategies with business objectives and support new initiatives.
  9. Dispute Resolution: Oversee and manage any disputes, litigation, or regulatory investigations, minimizing risk to Joko’s reputation and operations.
Preferred Experience

We’re looking for a seasoned legal professional with a business mindset and a passion for enabling innovation. The ideal candidate will have:

  1. Experience: At least 8+ years of experience in a legal role, ideally including in-house counsel in a fast-growing tech company or startup.
  2. Expertise: Strong knowledge of commercial, corporate, and regulatory law, with a focus on GDPR and consumer protection in a digital context.
  3. Leadership Skills: Proven ability to build, lead, and inspire a legal team, as well as collaborate effectively across departments.
  4. Business Acumen: A proactive, business-oriented approach to solving legal challenges, with a track record of enabling growth and innovation while managing risk.
  5. Problem-Solving: A hands-on, pragmatic approach to complex legal issues with the ability to balance legal requirements and business goals.
  6. Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex legal concepts in a clear and accessible manner to non-legal stakeholders.
  7. Education: A law degree and qualification to practice in at least one European jurisdiction.
  8. Languages: You are fluent in French and English, both written and spoken, as we are expanding internationally.
Company Culture and Benefits

We believe that flexibility and trust are important parts of a company. Our work environment reflects this thanks to:

  1. Flexible remote: If you live in Paris, you can work from our office or from your place with no constraints. If you live elsewhere, you can get access to a coworking space.
  2. Work from anywhere: Do you want to travel to Italy for a month and work from there? For up to 3 months a year, you may work from most countries in the world.

On top of that, we offer many perks such as:

  1. a budget for remote work equipment
  2. a ClassPass subscription for you to stay in shape wherever you are
  3. premium health insurance (Alan Blue in France)
  4. a Swile card for your meals, if you are based in France
  5. frequent team events and in-person gatherings every quarter
Interview Process

Our interview process includes:

  1. 45-min personality interview with two team members
  2. A case study followed by a 45-min debrief with team members / For Tech positions: live tests with team members
  3. 45-min Founders interview
  4. Reference calls
