Junior Corporate Legal Counsel

Description:

Gauzy (NASDAQ: GAUZ) is a world-leading material science company, focused on the research, development, manufacturing, and marketing of vision and light control technologies that support safe, sustainable, comfortable, and agile user experiences across various industries.

We are looking for a Junior Corporate Legal Counsel (2–3 years PQE) to join Gauzy’s global Legal team and work directly with the VP Legal.

This is a true in-house role in a dynamic, fast-moving hi-tech environment: a Nasdaq-listed, international group with operations in Israel, Europe, the US, and Asia. The Junior Counsel will handle day-to-day commercial and corporate work and, depending on skills and capacity, will also be involved in more complex strategic agreements and projects.

Joining the Gauzy team means being part of an elite group of innovators with a passion for creating future-defining and groundbreaking technologies that shape our everyday lives.

1. Commercial & Strategic Agreements

• Draft, review, and assist in the negotiation of day-to-day commercial contracts, including:

o NDAs

o Purchase and supply agreements

o Service and consulting agreements

o Pilot / POC / evaluation agreements

• When appropriate, support the VP Legal on more complex and strategic matters, such as:

o Frame and long-term supply agreements with key OEMs and strategic customers

o Major supplier and manufacturing agreements

o Cooperation / OEM / technology and licensing agreements

o Support on financing and M&A documentation workstreams

• Maintain and improve contract templates, clause libraries, and basic playbooks to help the business move quickly while managing risk.

• Help prepare routine board and committee materials and approvals (resolutions, written consents, standard schedules).

• Support implementation and monitoring of internal governance procedures and signing/approval policies across a multi-jurisdictional group.

3. Compliance & Regulatory Support

• Assist in rolling out and monitoring internal compliance processes (signing authority, approvals, document retention, training materials, etc.).

• Conduct focused research on relevant legal and regulatory topics (companies law, commercial, securities / public-company aspects, privacy, basic employment issues) and summarize them clearly for the business.

• Help coordinate responses to information requests from auditors, financing partners, regulators, and due diligence counterparts.

4. Legal Research, Tools & Knowledge Management

• Perform legal research in relevant jurisdictions and prepare short, practical memos, slide decks, or FAQs for internal stakeholders.

• Help build and maintain the Legal team’s knowledge base: precedents, templates, guidance notes, and internal policies.

• Contribute ideas to improve processes and tooling (e.g., checklists, trackers, basic automation).

5. Coordination with External Counsel & Operations

• Support the VP Legal in managing external counsel (collecting documents, tracking open points, coordinating comments and timelines).

• Organize and maintain transaction files, opinions, and mark-ups in an orderly and accessible way.

• Support the signature process (DocuSign / wet signatures), including internal approvals and coordination with counterparties.

• Maintain trackers for key contracts, disputes/claims, and legal projects; assist with tracking legal invoices and alignment with budgets/fee quotes.

Education & Qualifications

• LL.B from a recognized university.

• Licensed attorney in Israel.

Experience

• 2–3 years’ post-qualification experience in a law firm and/or in-house legal department.

• Hands-on commercial and/or corporate experience in a hi-tech and/or international company – must.

Skills & Competencies

• Strong legal drafting skills and attention to detail.

• Ability to explain legal issues in clear, practical, and business-friendly English (written and verbal).

• Good judgment on when to handle issues independently and when to escalate.

• Strong organizational skills; able to manage multiple matters and deadlines in a fast-moving environment.

• Proactive, curious, comfortable taking ownership of tasks from start to finish.

• High level of integrity, discretion, and professionalism when dealing with confidential information.

Languages

What We Offer

• A front-row seat in a global, Nasdaq-listed hi-tech company with real products, real factories, and real customers.

• Direct day-to-day work with the VP Legal on both operational and strategic matters.
