Legal Counsel

Join Qutwo - Europe's private Quantum AI Lab, on our quest to bridge the gap between the classical and the quantum world. We partner with the most advanced and forward-thinking customers, solving fundamental real-world problems, side by side.

Qutwo is scaling fast in headcount, customers and markets. We are financing growth, pursuing acquisitions and signing commercial agreements with large enterprises across Finland, the Nordics and internationally.

We are now seeking our first in-house lawyer to build a legal function that scales with the business. Each team owns the legal requirements in its own area, and legal makes sure every team knows what matters, gives them the tools and resources to act on it, and steps in where legal judgement or specialist support is needed. Legal is an enabler across many areas, not the specialist in all of them.

As an AI company, we expect our legal function to be AI-enabled from day one. Our main office is located in Helsinki, and that's the preferred location for this role.

If you are a humble learner, not afraid of the unknown, we encourage you to apply!

Role Description Contract framework: templates, a contract playbook with clear thresholds for when Legal/senior approvers must be involved, the contract repository and signing process. Legal negotiates both non-standard and strategic agreements.

Corporate and financing: Board and shareholder documentation, share issues, (convertible) loan agreements, the stock option program and employee equity documentation, cap table management, group structure and related-party approvals.

Privacy and regulation: GDPR compliance and data processing agreements, EU AI Act readiness. Maps the legislation that applies to Qutwo, with a named business owner for each area, what matters in it and Legal's role.

Employment and IP: employment contract templates (owned by HR, supported by Legal) and cross-border employment, IP assignment and invention arrangements.
