General Counsel

About Sifflet
Sifflet is redefining Data Observability for the AI era. Our platform enables enterprises to build reliable, explainable, and trustworthy AI and data products. Backed by leading investors, we’re scaling fast across Europe and the US — helping Fortune 500s and high-growth companies put trust at the core of their data strategy.
We’re hiring our first General Counsel to lead all legal and compliance matters as we expand globally. This is a unique opportunity for a French bar–certified lawyer who wants to join a fast-growing SaaS/AI company at a formative stage, working closely with the CEO and leadership team.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the Legal Function

  • Establish and scale Sifflet’s legal department as the company grows across Europe and the US.

  • Act as trusted advisor to the CEO, board, and leadership team.

• Commercial & Customer Contracts

  • Draft, review, and negotiate enterprise SaaS agreements, data processing agreements, NDAs, and strategic partnerships.

  • Structure scalable processes for high-volume enterprise deals.

• Corporate Governance & Fundraising

  • Support governance, shareholder relations, and equity/ESOP administration.

  • Partner with leadership on financing rounds and corporate structuring (France HQ, US subsidiary).

• Regulatory & Compliance

  • Ensure compliance with GDPR, EU data/AI regulations, and security standards (ISO, SOC2).

  • Monitor emerging AI legislation in France, the EU, and beyond — and turn compliance into a competitive advantage.

• Employment & HR Legal Support

  • Provide guidance on French labor law matters and international employment frameworks.

  • Support hiring and subsidiary setup in new markets.

• Cross-Border Perspective

  • While the role is rooted in French law, knowledge of US commercial law and contract frameworks is a strong plus, supporting our US expansion.
