Kandji is seeking an experienced, proactive legal leader to head our Legal function.

- Partner with outside counsel on strategic governance and compliance initiatives, working closely with the CFO on cap table management and risk mitigation.
- Support employment, equity, and benefits matters in collaboration with People and Finance teams.
- Guide strategic business transactions such as fundraising, acquisitions, and global expansion.
- Build and maintain scalable legal infrastructure and playbooks to support Kandji’s fast-moving Go To Market motion.
- Monitor and respond to evolving regulatory landscapes, especially in SaaS, privacy, and security.
