Legal Associate

Conveo is the AI research platform enabling fast, affordable, and high-quality consumer / B2B research. Global brands use our AI video interviewer to generate insights across marketing, product, and research teams.

The current/traditional research methods companies rely on are slow, expensive, and superficial. Running great research also requires expertise which is a blocker to many companies. That directly affects how well companies understand their customers and how well they can serve them.

You will join an extremely talented team of incredibly passionate, high-energy people. We go the extra mile while having the best time of our lives. Our team has the combination of decades of market research knowledge, incredible engineering ability, and experience building companies.

• We truly care about our clients and the problem we solve. That means we humbly go the extra mile every time.

• We work hard and we have fun.

• To keep our quality bar incredibly high, we want to execute with the smallest possible team.

Conveo is scaling fast — Fortune 500 clients, global contracts, high-stake procurement cycles. You'll interact with some of the world's biggest brands (Unilever, Google, P&G, Orange). The opportunity: own the legal and commercial operations that let Conveo scale without friction.

As our Legal Associate, you will spend the majority of your time (~85%) building and running the contract lifecycle and vendor onboarding machine. The remaining time, you'll support the broader legal needs of the company — from data privacy to corporate matters — giving you real exposure to the full spectrum of in-house legal work at a scaling AI company.

This is not a "review contracts when they land on your desk" role.

This is a high-ownership, high-impact role that sits at the intersection of:

• Deal velocity — remove legal and procurement as a bottleneck so revenue closes faster

• Day-to-day legal support — contribute to the broader legal needs of the company, from privacy to corporate matters

• AI-powered operations — build scalable legal and procurement processes leveraging AI tools — automate, systematize, and move faster than any traditional legal team

• Operational excellence — build repeatable processes from scratch

• Commercial enablement — arm sales with clean templates, fast execution, and clear guidance

This role is only for someone who sees legal as a growth lever, not a gate.

As the first legal hire, you'll contribute to the wider legal function beyond contracts:

• Advise internal teams on standard legal questions and risk management

• Support data privacy compliance (DPAs, GDPR) and corporate legal hygiene as the company scales across jurisdictions

• Coordinate with external counsel on tactical legal questions

• Contribute to new legal challenges as they arise — this is a fast-growing company, so the scope will grow with you

You're the go-to legal voice internally — pragmatic, fast, and commercial.

You build a machine — powered by AI and automation — that handles:

• MSAs, DPAs, order forms, amendments, and NDAs for enterprise and agency clients

• Redlining and negotiation with client legal teams

• Template maintenance so sales can self-serve on standard deals

• A clean, trackable contract pipeline from first draft to signature

Your bar: fast execution, minimal back-and-forth, zero ambiguity.

You build and own a strong procurement process — leveraging automation and AI — that handles:

• Vendor registration portals and procurement questionnaires for Fortune 500 clients

• Security reviews and compliance documentation assembly

• End-to-end tracking so no deal stalls in procurement limbo

Your bar: from verbal commit to vendor-approved in days, not weeks — at scale, without scaling the team.

Legal and procurement are currently the longest stage in the pipeline. You fix that by:

• Standardizing templates so 80% of deals close without custom negotiation

• Building a redlining playbook so the team handles common pushbacks independently

• Creating a fast-track process for smaller deals

• Partnering with sales to pre-empt procurement bottlenecks

Your goal: legal never holds up a deal again.

You measure yourself on:

• Contracts closed

• Time from verbal commit to signature halved

• Deals unblocked

• Templates standardized

• Vendor onboarding cycles shortened

• Internal teams confident in legal guidance

You don't wait to be asked. You run the machine.

• 1-3 years of legal experience (in-house or top-tier firm), contract management, or procurement operations at a SaaS or tech company

• Deep expertise in SaaS contracts: MSAs, DPAs, order forms, SOWs, NDAs

• Familiarity with Belgian, UK, or US commercial or corporate law

• Working knowledge of GDPR and international data privacy frameworks

• Experience negotiating with enterprise procurement and legal teams

• High agency: you identify legal risks and solve them before they become blockers

• Ability to translate complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non-lawyers

• Comfortable building legal processes from scratch — templates, playbooks, workflows

• Excellent written and verbal communication in English (Dutch or French is a plus)

• Proficiency with contract lifecycle tools (e.g. Juro) and AI tools (e.g. Claude, Harvey, Legora)

• Business-minded: you understand that legal exists to enable growth, not block it

• Pragmatic: you know when something needs to be airtight and when "good enough" is the right call

• Low ego, high standards

• Comfortable pushing for outcomes (without being annoying)

• Can handle ambiguity and still ship consistently

• Thinks in systems and leverage — you build once so the team can use it forever

• Experience at a high-growth B2B SaaS or AI company

• Experience with IP protection or data protection regulations beyond GDPR

• Background in data-heavy industries, market research, or adtech

• Average time from verbal commit to signed deal is halved

• Sales has clean, self-serve templates for 80%+ of standard deals

• Enterprise clients pass through legal review in days, not months

• A contract pipeline with full visibility: who's negotiating what, where it's stuck, and what's closing

• Internal stakeholders repeatedly say: "Legal and procurement used to be the bottleneck. Now it's the accelerator."

• The legal function scales with the company — no fire drills, no surprises

At Conveo, you'll join a team that genuinely enjoys working, and spending time, together. We care about building real relationships, not just great products. That's why we run quarterly team offsites where we disconnect, reset, and have fun.
