- Lead complex cross-border transactions with sophisticated counterparties located across multiple jurisdictions, independently owning complex deals from first review through signature and managing escalations.
- Monitor and advise on relevant regulatory, compliance, or legal developments impacting the business in the EMEA region, and partner with the broader Legal team and cross-functional stakeholders where required.
- Provide training and enablement to internal stakeholders on legal issues and contract processes, and mentor more junior members of the Legal team.

- Proven track record of independently drafting, negotiating, and closing complex commercial technology transactions and SaaS agreements with enterprise customers, partners, and resellers across multiple jurisdictions. International legal experience is a plus.
- Strong understanding of commercial legal issues related to SaaS and software licensing (i.e., data privacy, security, intellectual property, open-source, revenue recognition, and tax), professional services, and other go-to-market programs (such as partner/reseller programs).
- Excellent judgement, strong business orientation, and ability to translate legal risk into practical commercial advice within the context of business objectives.
- Strong interpersonal, communication, and management skills; ability to build trust and strong relationships with ClickHouse’s sales team, cross-functional stakeholders, and ClickHouse’s customers.
- Exceptional attention to detail, strong organizational skills with ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
- Experience with EU/UK data protection regulations in commercial negotiations and familiarity with regulated customer requirements (i.e., DORA) is a plus.
