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 the areas this role requires. 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.

You will need a solid foundation in corporate and commercial contracts - particularly SaaS and technology agreements - and a working understanding of legal risk in a growing software business. Beyond that, we are looking for someone who takes ownership, asks good questions, is exceptionally detail oriented, and is genuinely excited to learn the business from the inside out.

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:

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

Specific role duties will include:

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
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
Collaborate with Sales, Customer Experience, Product, Engineering, Security, and Finance teams to understand how the business operates and where legal risk lives
Serve as the organization’s designated Privacy Officer or privacy lead, with accountability for compliance with applicable privacy and data protection legislation
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 commercial contracts, legal risk, and compliance (ideally in a software or technology environment)
Demonstrate an 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
Are 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
Are curious about how businesses work and genuinely want to understand ours
Communicate clearly and practically - your legal guidance makes things easier, not harder
Are 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
Are a member in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta or willingness to do so 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
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.

How to apply:

Visit our Careers Page for more information. We sincerely thank all applicants for their interest. Only those selected for interviews will be contacted.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
