Legal Counsel - North America
Commercial Legal Counsel role supporting a fast-growing SaaS business across North America. Partner with Sales, Product and Leadership to drive deals, manage risk and scale impact.
About Eftsure
Eftsure is a fast-growing SaaS business on a mission to eliminate payment fraud for businesses globally. Our platform helps organizations verify vendors and protect B2B payments in real time and we’re scaling quickly across North America.
While our US head office is based in Dallas, Texas, this role is open to candidates anywhere in the United States. You’ll be joining a high-growth, commercially driven environment where legal is seen as a strategic partner, not a blocker.
The Role
We’re looking for a Legal Counsel to support Eftsure’s expanding US business. This role sits at the intersection of sales, partnerships, product and risk - ideal for a lawyer who enjoys fast-paced commercial work and pragmatic problem-solving.
You’ll partner closely with our direct sales and partnerships teams, supporting high-volume and complex mid-market and enterprise SaaS contract negotiations, as well as strategic referral and reseller agreements with some of the most recognized brands in North America.
Beyond commercial contracting, you’ll collaborate with global stakeholders across Technology, Product, Customer Operations and Marketing, helping shape product decisions, manage regulatory and privacy risk, and enable Eftsure’s continued growth in the region.
What You’ll Be Doing
Review, draft and negotiate SaaS customer agreements and referral / reseller partnership contracts, primarily using Eftsure templates, for North American customers and partners
Review and negotiate material vendor agreements supporting US operations, ensuring alignment with commercial objectives and risk appetite
Provide practical, business-focused legal advice on privacy and regulatory matters, including CCPA/CPRA, GDPR and Québec privacy legislation
Develop and continuously improve legal documentation, including contract templates, negotiation playbooks, workflows and internal guidelines
Support the management of external disputes, claims and investigations
Contribute to strategic initiatives, including potential M&A activity and other high-impact projects
What We’re Looking For
Required
Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited US law school, preferably a T14 law school
Active membership in good standing with at least one US state bar (preference for California, Texas, New York or Florida)
3–5 years’ experience as a practicing attorney, including time at a leading law firm in a technology, commercial or privacy-focused practice
Demonstrated experience advising on commercial technology transactions, including SaaS or cloud-based software
Strong working knowledge of US and international privacy laws, including CCPA/CPRA, GDPR and Québec privacy legislation, with the ability to give clear, actionable compliance advice
Nice to Have
In-house legal experience, particularly within a technology or SaaS environment
Exposure to information security frameworks (e.g. ISO, SOC 2, GDPR security certifications)
Fluency in another language, particularly French
Why Join Eftsure?
A genuinely commercial legal role with visibility across the business
High-growth SaaS environment with real momentum in North America
Ability to work remotely from anywhere in the US, with leadership based in Sydney, Australia
Opportunity to influence product, partnerships and go-to-market strategy early
If you’re a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys building, scaling and enabling growth - we’d love to hear from you.
