Legal Counsel

Are you a commercial lawyer who thrives on protecting a fast growing business from the inside, not just reviewing contracts but shaping how the company negotiates and grows?

A fast growing AI powered smart mobility company based in Dubai has scaled from a handful of pilot sites to hundreds of live locations across the UAE in under two years, backed by major real estate and infrastructure partnerships and genuine, working AI technology. As the business expands into Qatar, Saudi Arabia and beyond, it needs a senior commercial lawyer to protect its interests across every new contract, partnership and market entry.

This is not a generalist in house role split across every legal function. The focus is squarely commercial, contracts and GCC expansion, working closely with the CEO and CFO on the deals that matter most.

What's in it for you:

• Direct exposure to the CEO and CFO on every major commercial negotiation
• A genuinely strategic remit spanning contract negotiation, technology agreements, and new market entry across the GCC
• Join a business already recognised as a market leader, expanding at real pace rather than on paper
• Base salary of AED 35,000 a month

What you'll be doing:

• Reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements with customers, suppliers, landlords, developers and government entities
• Protecting the company's technology, software and proprietary processes through carefully structured agreements
• Supporting expansion into Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other GCC markets, including new entity and joint venture structures
• Building standard contract templates, negotiation playbooks and a central contract repository
• Working directly with senior leadership on major partnership and government negotiations

What we need:

• 6 to 10 years post qualification experience, with strong UAE and GCC commercial legal background
• In house experience within technology, infrastructure, mobility or a similarly fast growing company preferred
• Strong drafting and negotiation skills, with the ability to translate legal risk into practical business advice
• Fluent Arabic and English, contracts across the GCC are often drafted in Arabic
• Comfort working directly with senior executives and moving at the pace of a scaling business

If you want to be the legal backbone of a business that is genuinely expanding, not just talking about it, we would like to hear from you.
