About this Legal Counsel role at BLP Digital AG

BLP Digital AG · Onsite · Zurich

Join BLP and help make the world’s business processes autonomous!

Our agentic platform helps finance and operations teams worldwide remove manual work from their core business processes, so work runs end-to-end with greater control and significant productivity gains.

Today, over 550 enterprise customers use BLP across 1,300+ deployed projects. In the processes we automate, customers achieve productivity improvements of 5 to 10 times.

To date, BLP remains majority employee-owned, with Goldman Sachs holding a minority stake as a growth investor. Our success is driven by deep expertise in technology and business processes, a superior product with strong product-market fit, reflected in an expanding customer base that includes Fortune 500 companies.

BLP is one of Switzerland's fastest-growing SaaS scale-ups; we are now entering our next phase of growth. From our headquarters on Zürich's Bahnhofstrasse, we're expanding globally, with a growing presence across Europe and North America.

Join us and help make autonomous operations the new standard.

About the role

You are BLP's first in-house lawyer. You build the legal function from scratch and protect a business that puts agentic AI into the ERP processes of 550+ enterprise customers. You report to the CFO and partner closely with Sales, Finance, People and Product, covering four entities in Switzerland, Germany, the UK and the US, with customers in 40+ countries. In your first 12 months, Sales runs on your contract playbook and standard templates, and BLP has a clear compliance framework for data protection and AI regulation.

What you'll do

· Own commercial contracting end-to-end: negotiate customer MSAs, DPAs and SLAs with enterprise procurement and legal teams, so deals close faster with risk you can explain to the CFO.

· Build the legal toolkit: templates, a negotiation playbook with fallback positions and clear approval rules, so Sales can handle standard deals without escalating to you.

· Lead data protection and AI compliance across GDPR, the Swiss FADP and the EU AI Act, and support security reviews and certifications, so enterprise customers trust how we handle their data.

· Run corporate housekeeping for BLP Digital AG and its subsidiaries in Germany, the UK and the US: board and shareholder matters and cap table

· Advise on employment law across our countries and protect our IP and trademarks, working with the People team on contracts, policies and equity plans.

· Select and manage external counsel, deciding what stays in-house and what goes out.

What you'll bring

· You bring 7+ years of legal experience, including at least 3 years in-house at a B2B SaaS or tech company, ideally after training at a leading law firm.

· You are admitted to the bar in Switzerland or another European jurisdiction and are comfortable advising on Swiss, EU, UK and US matters with appropriate external support.

· You have personally negotiated enterprise SaaS contracts with large corporate customers and closed them on terms the business could live with.

· You have hands-on GDPR and data protection experience and follow the EU AI Act closely.

· You have built something from zero before: a template library, a contract process or a legal function, and you are happy to be the only lawyer in the room.

· You are pragmatic and commercial in your approach. You give clear, risk-weighted advice in plain language, at the speed of a fast-growing company, in fluent English and German language.

Strong plus

· Experience with venture financing rounds, ESOP setups and/or M&A.

· Background in ERP, finance automation or AI products.

· Experience with ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audits from the legal side.

What you'll get

· Founding ownership. You shape BLP's legal function from day one and decide how it scales.

· Direct line to leadership. You report directly to the CFO and work with the leadership team on decisions that matter.

· Global scope. Four entities, 40+ countries and enterprise customers give you breadth few in-house roles offer.

· You work at the front line of AI regulation, applied to real enterprise processes.

· You grow with the company and are set up to build and lead a team as legal needs expand.

· You work from our headquarters on Zürich's Bahnhofstrasse, with a team that values Impact, Transparency, Ownership and Excellence.

· Competitive package.
