About the role

About Us Compensation is one of the key levers for attracting and retaining great talent, yet most companies are struggling to get it right. They simply have no choice but to rely on poor data and unsophisticated tools for their pay decisions. That's why we created Ravio. We help some of the world's most innovative and ambitious companies build stronger teams and reach their goals through better compensation. Our goal is to bring compensation into the modern age by building the ultimate real-time compensation solution. We're passionate about ensuring everyone is paid what they deserve, no matter their background or circumstances. We believe that when compensation is done right, everyone wins. Ravio is growing fast, which means you can too. Joining a startup in the early days and scaling it into a global product is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences a career can offer. If that sounds exciting to you, you're in the right place. The Role We're hiring Ravio's first dedicated Legal Counsel, someone who brings strong privacy expertise. You'll own our core legal documentation, from customer contracts to data processing terms and privacy notices, and be the main point of contact for our external legal support. You'll be a key stakeholder for Ravio's senior leadership team, advising on a wide range of legal and regulatory matters, and you'll work closely with our Commercial, Product, People and Data teams to keep Ravio's legal position current as the product and business grow. You'll also be a named contact in governance processes such as our whistleblowing framework. Alongside the core legal remit, you'll roll up your sleeves on some of our compliance operations too, including supporting our annual SOC 2 audit and other compliance projects as they come up. This suits someone equally comfortable drafting a contract and working through the details of an audit. This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who wants ownership from day one. You'll work independently for a lot of it, backed by an external law firm retainer for specialist and overflow work, and you'll have real scope to shape how the legal and compliance function grows at Ravio as we scale.
