Job Description
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 shared 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 share 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 grea t.”
