About UsCompensation is one of the key levers for attracting and retaining great talent, yet most companies are struggling to get it right. They simply have no choice but to rely on poor data and unsophisticated tools for their pay decisions. That's why we created Ravio.We help some of the world's most innovative and ambitious companies build stronger teams and reach their goals through better compensation. Our goal is to bring compensation into the modern age by building the ultimate real-time compensation solution. We're passionate about ensuring everyone is paid what they deserve, no matter their background or circumstances. We believe that when compensation is done right, everyone wins.Ravio is growing fast, which means you can too. Joining a startup in the early days and scaling it into a global product is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences a career can offer. If that sounds exciting to you, you're in the right place.The RoleWe're hiring Ravio's first dedicated Legal Counsel, someone who brings strong privacy expertise. You'll own our core legal documentation, from customer contracts to data processing terms and privacy notices, and be the main point of contact for our external legal support. You'll be a key stakeholder for Ravio's senior leadership team, advising on a wide range of legal and regulatory matters, and you'll work closely with our Commercial, Product, People and Data teams to keep Ravio's legal position current as the product and business grow. You'll also be a named contact in governance processes such as our whistleblowing framework.Alongside the core legal remit, you'll roll up your sleeves on some of our compliance operations too, including supporting our annual SOC 2 audit and other compliance projects as they come up. This suits someone equally comfortable drafting a contract and working through the details of an audit.This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who wants ownership from day one. You'll work independently for a lot of it, backed by an external law firm retainer for specialist and overflow work, and you'll have real scope to shape how the legal and compliance function grows at Ravio as we scale.Key ResponsibilitiesContracts and commercialOversee Ravio’s corporate actions (shareholder and investors matters, board documentation, stock plan admin, M&A/licensing deals, etc)Handle employment-related legal mattersKeep our Service Agreement, DPA and Custom Data Terms current against live operations, product changes and bespoke customer requirements, acting as a thought partner to the commercial teamOwn the Contract Amendments Tracker, logging liability and exposure on bespoke termsProvide legal review of the corporate and commercial sections of our contracting workflow, and sense-check bespoke order formsData protection and privacyConfirm our Technical and Organisational Measures (TOMs) and Data Processing Provisions (DPPs) stay accurate against live data flows and product changes, working closely with the tech teamKeep our Privacy Policy current as the website and platform evolveUpdate candidate and employee privacy notices as our recruitment and HR processes changeReview and maintain our DPIA and ROPA as the product evolvesGovernance and external relationshipsAct as a named recipient for Ravio's whistleblowing processMaintain our trademark recordsOwn the relationship with our external legal counsel for ad-hoc and ongoing legal supportConfirm ICO registration renewal each yearCompliance & audit supportCoordinate our SOC 2 (and ISO, where relevant) certification cycle: line up the auditor and timeline, and manage Vanta audit accessOwn day-to-day Vanta administration: policy reviews, joiner/leaver checks, vendor and risk reviewsTriage due diligence and security questionnaires from Sales beyond our self-serve materialsSupport other compliance projects as they come up, such as our data deletion and anonymisation process improvementsAbout YouQualified solicitor (England & Wales) or equivalent, with a few years' PQE: not fresh out of a training contract, but this isn't a senior or lead position eitherStrong working knowledge of UK/EU data protection and privacy law (UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018) and how it applies to a B2B SaaS productGenuinely happy to work on hands-on compliance and audit operations alongside legal work, not just advisory workComfortable drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts, DPAs and customer terms with minimal oversightA pragmatic, commercial approach: you know when to push back and when to find a workable middle groundConfident managing an external counsel relationship and getting the most out of a retainerStrong stakeholder management skills; you can translate legal and compliance risk into plain terms for non-legal teamsComfortable being the sole in-house legal hire, at least initially, and happy to build process rather than inherit itNice to HaveFamiliarity with SOC 2/ISO frameworks or GRC tools such as Vanta (or a fast willingness to learn them)A recognised privacy qualification (e.g. IAPP CIPP/E), though not requiredExperience with DORA or other cross-border regulatory frameworksIn-house experience at a SaaS or technology businessCompensation & Benefits£65,000 – £85,000Company ownership (everyone gets a meaningful equity stake in Ravio)25 days paid holiday + bank holidays + 4 wellness days (take them anytime, no questions asked!)Up to 6% pension matching scheme£60 a month wellness allowance (invest in your physical wellbeing, on us)Private healthcare coverIncome protection insurance (for full peace of mind in case you cannot work because of sickness or disability)20 weeks fully paid parental leave & 8 weeks for non-birthing parentWhat You'll GetThe opportunity to be part of the early team of a category-defining company backed by a strong roster of world-class investorsAn inclusive work environment characterised by a high degree of trust, respect and integrityThe ability to work closely with and learn from the company's founders as well as a highly ambitious team of smart, mission-driven individualsA high degree of autonomy and the opportunity for fast-tracked professional growthWhile we're very focused at work, we also know how to have fun in the process and don't take ourselves too seriouslyIf this sounds like you and you're ready to help us build a category-defining company with global ambitions, we'd love to hear from you.For more information about what we collect and how we use it when you apply for a role with us, please refer to our Candidate Privacy Notice.#LI-Hybrid#LI-JC1Compensation: £65K – £85K • Offers Equity • £65K – £85K • Offers EquityFind Jobs in United Kingdom on Arbeitnow
