We securely capture and preserve the communications data of the world’s most highly regulated firms, giving them greater visibility and control over their information and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations.

Global Relay is a career-building company. A place for big ideas, new challenges, and groundbreaking innovation. It’s a place where you can genuinely make an impact – and be recognised for it. We believe great businesses thrive on diversity, inclusion, and the contributions of all employees. To that end, we recruit candidates from different backgrounds and foster a work environment that encourages employees to collaborate and learn from each other, completely free of barriers.

Your role: Are you a dynamic individual, looking for opportunities beyond traditional legal practice? Are you a strategic thinker with an entrepreneurial spirit, looking to get more out of your legal skills? You could be part of a fast-growing, award-winning tech firm – which was recently named BC Company of the Year, in addition to being recognised as a “Leader” by two of the most influential global analysts in its industry.

As an in-house lawyer at Global Relay, you will be immersing yourself in the hottest tech trends and issues of the day: big data, artificial intelligence, surveillance and cyber security, privacy protection, and data sovereignty. You will be involved in every major aspect of the business – not simply legal matters. You will help Global Relay forge new partnerships and grow its global distribution network. You will deal with issues related to compliance archiving, data protection, eDiscovery, and business continuity of highly regulated industries.

Your responsibilities:

• Review, negotiate, and draft customer agreements, policies, partner agreements, and conduct business & legal negotiations.
• Advise internal teams on a broad spectrum of legal and business issues, including international data protection requirements, contractual commitments, industry-specific compliance obligations, intellectual property rights, and employment and human resources / employment issues.
• Provide legal support relating to compliance & eDiscovery subject matters.
• Provide legal support related to customer retention, renewals, and other related legal/accounting issues.
• Provide business support in the development of Global Relay's sales, marketing and business development strategies, new go-to-market strategies, product design, deployment, and positioning to help maximise revenues of the business team.
• Provide operational support with Global Relay's internal policies, communications, training, and education on Global Relay services and general governance.

About you: Minimum 2 years of legal experience as a practicing lawyer, preferably with prior in-house experience. Juris Doctor or LLB from an accredited law school. Licensed to practice law in the United Kingdom.
