Legal Counsel - North America
About The Position
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. 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.
