Full job description

BIS Safety Software is a SaaS company on a mission to change how organizations manage safety, learning, and compliance. As we grow, so does the complexity of our legal and risk landscape - and we need someone who is ready to dig in, take ownership, and grow with us. We are looking for a Lawyer - In-House Legal Counsel who is sharp, curious, and energized by the challenge of building something.

About the role:

This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable operating independently. You do not need to be an expert across every area of law, but you should bring broad legal knowledge with deeper expertise in privacy, data protection, and risk management. What matters most is your drive to understand our business, your resourcefulness when you hit the edges of your knowledge, and your instinct to get ahead of problems.

Privacy and risk sit at the center of this role. You will own privacy and data protection across the business, supporting our privacy program as we grow, and working closely with our Risk and Compliance team to get ahead of legal and regulatory exposure. You will also draft and negotiate our commercial agreements - SaaS contracts, MSAs, DPAs, and vendor agreements - and keep our template library current.

You will report directly to leadership and serve as the primary legal resource across the organization - partnering closely with our Risk and Compliance team, coordinating with external counsel when needed, and helping the business move confidently without unnecessary friction.

This is an in-person role in our Sherwood Park, Alberta office.

In this role, you'll own the following functions:

Privacy Accountability & Leadership
Risk Identification & Mitigation
Data Security
Cross-Functional Partnership on Risk & Privacy
Commercial Contracting & Drafting
External Counsel Coordination
Legal Process & Documentation
Corporate & General Legal Support

Specific role duties will include:

Own privacy and data protection compliance across the business, with full accountability for adherence to applicable legislation (GDPR, HIPAA, Quebec Law 25, PIPEDA, and similar frameworks as the business grows)
Support and maintain our privacy program: policies, data mapping, breach response protocols, vendor privacy risk assessments, and training
Proactively identify legal, regulatory, contractual, and privacy risks before they escalate - and recommend practical, business-aligned mitigation strategies
Serve as a key legal partner to the Risk and Compliance team, providing guidance, issue analysis, and ongoing support on security and regulatory matters
Collaborate with Security, Engineering, Product, Sales, Customer Experience, and Finance teams to understand how the business operates and where privacy and risk exposure lives
Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements including SaaS subscription agreements, MSAs, DPAs, vendor agreements, and NDAs
Develop and maintain contract templates, standard clauses, and fallback positions to improve consistency and reduce repeat work
Coordinate with external legal counsel for specialized or complex matters - scoping and managing that work to ensure it is efficient and cost-effective
Build and maintain legal documentation, playbooks, and internal guidance that reduce repeat questions and support the team in making better decisions
Support general corporate, compliance, and governance matters, and assist with due diligence and strategic initiatives as needed

You may be the right fit if you:

Have 3+ years of legal experience with a strong foundation in privacy, data protection, and risk management (ideally in a software or technology environment)
Have hands-on experience with privacy and data protection frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, Quebec Law 25, the EU AI Act, ISO 27001, or PIPEDA
Bring a working understanding of commercial contracts, particularly SaaS and technology agreements
Demonstrate exceptional attention to detail - in this role, the details matter
Take ownership of problems - even ones outside your comfort zone - and find a way forward
Proactive by nature: you identify risks early, ask the right questions, and do not wait for issues to land on your desk
Can operate independently, manage competing priorities, and know when to escalate
Communicate clearly and practically - your legal guidance makes things easier, not harder
Humble, eager to learn, and comfortable asking for help when you need it
Have a pragmatic, business-minded approach to legal risk - you understand that the goal is to protect the business, not slow it down
A member in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta or willing to become one upon successful selection

Bonus points if you have:

In-house experience, particularly within a SaaS or technology-driven organization
Familiarity with privacy, data protection, and security concepts in a software business context
A formal privacy certification (CIPP/E, CIPP/C, CIPM, or similar)
Experience supporting a company in the $10M-$50M revenue range
Exposure to contract lifecycle management tools or contract automation

Compensation and benefits:

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
Life insurance and disability insurance
Health spending account
Flexible working hours
On-the-job training and growth opportunities
Free on-site parking

Salary ranges are based on experience, reflecting the unique skillset each individual brings to the role.

About BIS:

BIS Safety Software has been headquartered in Sherwood Park, Alberta, since 2006. We build software that helps organizations manage safety training, learning, and compliance - and we’re growing!

A few things that make us different: we don’t use job titles internally - we value humility and contribution over hierarchy. We move fast, integrate new ideas quickly, and give people real ownership of their work. And through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), you have the opportunity to own a piece of the company you’re helping build.
