Seqera is hiring a full-time in-house lawyer. Legal work today is split between a fractional Head of Legal and external firms, and the volume has outgrown that setup. You will take on the day-to-day legal work, contracts above all, and build the systems that keep it running as the company grows.

You will report into the fractional Head of Legal, so you have a senior lawyer to escalation to and learn from while owning your own desk from week one. As the legal function grows, so does the scope of this role. We're looking for a hands‐on qualified lawyer with 3 to 6 years' post-qualification experience who can draft and negotiate a SaaS agreement without close supervision, and who wants to broaden into privacy, employment, IP and corporate work.

You will work day to day with Sales, Finance, Product, Engineering, IT & Compliance and People, helping the company move fast while staying protected.

Partner with Security and Engineering on compliance initiatives. Partner with Product and Engineering on new features, ensuring legal and regulatory alignment.

Qualified to practise law in a relevant jurisdiction. ~ Hands‐on commercial contracting experience, ideally within SaaS, tech or high‐growth environments. Exposure to at least one area beyond contracting (privacy, corporate, IP or compliance), and the appetite to pick up the rest. ~ Experience in a startup, scale‐up, or international business environment with venture capital experience is highly preferred. Deals wait on legal more than on any other function, and you know what that costs.

Experience supporting global, distributed teams. Familiarity with legal tech, CLMs, and AI‐enabled workflows. Exposure to life sciences, biotech, or data‐driven platforms. Come join us and help us build a global company that everyone is proud to be part of.

As we scale, we constantly improve our in‐office and WFH environments and learn to help everyone have the best setup for our company's success and your personal development while always keeping the human touch in every aspect of our lives. Most importantly, our culture provides a genuinely fun, inclusive, and challenging environment that will allow you to grow while making a huge difference in human health and beyond.
