We’re a 75-person, fast-growing tech scale-up based in Edinburgh with people across the UK. As we scale, we’re looking for a commercially minded In-House Counsel to join our team and help shape the next phase of our growth.

This is a unique opportunity to join an ambitious company at a pivotal stage, bringing credibility with major clients and investors, owning a wide variety of legal and compliance areas, and building the foundations of an in-house legal capability.

• Act as a key business partner to leadership and senior management,  balancing commercial realities with risk based decision making.

• You’ll provide clear, pragmatic advice across all areas of Amiqus. You won’t be in a ‘legal lane’

• Lead on data protection, including acting as Data Protection Officer (DPO)

• Manage employment law or other people based escalation matters currently handled externally

• Oversee risk frameworks, ensuring the company scales safely and responsibly

• Support procurement, supplier agreements, commercial contracts and client onboarding

• Drive commercial excellence by supporting enterprise sales cycles with credible, confident legal input that builds trust with customers

• Build investor confidence by demonstrating strong governance and a robust compliance posture

• Enable future growth by reducing reliance on external legal support, bringing more capability in-house, specifically with employee relations and investor support

In a perfect world, we’d hire someone who looks like this:

• Qualified senior solicitor in the UK with a current practicing certificate

• Significant experience practicing law  in a SaaS environment

• An all rounder - someone who is comfortable advising across many legal business areas.

• Commercial first, legal second - a pragmatic problem-solver who partners across our teams and people in Amiqus.

• Tech-savvy and adaptable - excited by scaling environments and comfortable with ambiguity

• Security experience - particularly partnering with security, risk, governance and cyber-security experts to keep the organisation legally aligned, resilient, and ready to respond to emerging threats

• Collaborative and down-to-earth - someone people love working with

• Ambitious - we’re growing at pace and you’re genuinely excited about getting us to our next stage of scale 

Our product sits at the heart of compliance, risk and trust. The right person will enhance our credibility with enterprise clients and investors while ensuring we continue to scale responsibly, safely and strategically.

You’ll be the person who brings pragmatic decision-making, structure, and clarity  across Amiqus. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety and impact, not narrow specialisms.

We think it’s important to have an open and transparent process. The process might vary slightly but here’s what to expect:

• An initial conversation with a member of the people experience team 

• Interview with the exec team 

• Structured Panel interview and presentation for shortlisted candidates (if applicable)

• References and background checks followed by role offer

We recognise that diverse teams outperform. Perspectives and people of all backgrounds are welcome at Amiqus. 

We enable our people to do their best work and reward them based on performance. We acknowledge our moral and legal responsibilities to promote equal opportunities and pursue equality in all of our work.

If there’s anything we can do to make sure you have a positive interview experience, please let us know.

Lastly, as you might expect, we care about privacy and have a privacy policy which explains how we handle your information and data.
