À propos du poste

Le·La Conseiller·ère juridique, Droit commercial fournit des conseils juridiques au quotidien dans le domaine contractuel, du commerce électronique et des opérations immobilières chez SSENSE. Gérant l'ensemble du cycle de vie des contrats — de la prise en charge et la négociation jusqu'à la gouvernance des modèles et l'hygiène d'entreprise —, ce rôle établit un cadre fiable et évolutif pour gérer le risque juridique. En alliant une contractuelle rapide et bien gouvernée à des conseils réglementaires judicieux, vous permettrez à l'entreprise d'agir rapidement tout en restant pleinement protégée.

Ce que vous ferez

  • Négociation commerciale : Rédiger, négocier et gérer l'ensemble du cycle de vie des contrats commerciaux, de fournisseurs, de technologies et de services du quotidien.

  • Gouvernance juridique et efficacité : Maintenir les modèles de contrats, la bibliothèque de clauses, le tri des demandes et le répertoire de contrats pour optimiser les délais de traitement et la conformité.
  • Gouvernance d'entreprise et immobilier : Gérer la gouvernance d'entreprise au quotidien, la gestion des entités, les affaires du conseil d'administration et les obligations immobilières, y compris la révision des baux.
  • Conseil transfonctionnel : Fournir des évaluations de risques pratiques et axées sur les affaires directement aux leaders des équipes transfonctionnelles.

Qualifications

  • Formation : Diplôme en droit (LL.B. ou J.D.).
  • Barreau : Membre en règle du Barreau du Québec (l'appartenance à un autre barreau provincial canadien est un atout).
  • Expérience : Minimum de 5 ans d'expérience en droit commercial ou des affaires, idéalement dans un environnement dynamique axé sur le commerce de détail, le commerce électronique ou la technologie.
  • Bilinguisme : Maîtrise parfaite du français et de l'anglais, à l'oral comme à l'écrit, dans un contexte professionnel puisque nous avons différentes entités légales à l'international.
  • Gestion de contrats : Expérience avérée dans la gestion d'un volume élevé de contrats et la négociation d'ententes commerciales, technologiques et immobilières complexes.

Ce qui vous distingue

  • Jugement juridique et d'affaires : Capacité à équilibrer les risques juridiques complexes avec des solutions commerciales viables dans des contextes changeants et ambigus.
  • Influence auprès des parties prenantes : Habileté à vulgariser des concepts juridiques complexes pour aligner les leaders transfonctionnels et négocier des ententes favorables sous pression.
  • Pensée critique et stratégique : Expertise dans l'évaluation indépendante de situations variables pour prendre des décisions éclairées sans disposer de toutes les informations.
  • Agilité de projet et de processus : Esprit d'organisation structuré et axé sur l'amélioration continue pour faire évoluer les systèmes et gérer les projets de bout en bout.

About the Role

The Legal Counsel, Commercial provides day-to-day legal guidance across contracting, e-commerce, and real estate operations at SSENSE. Owning the contract lifecycle end-to-end—from intake and negotiation to template governance and corporate hygiene—this role establishes a reliable, scalable framework for managing legal risk. By pairing fast, well-governed contracting with sound regulatory advice, you will enable the business to execute quickly while remaining fully protected.

What You Will Do

  • Commercial Contracting: Draft, negotiate, and manage the full lifecycle of day-to-day commercial, vendor, technology, and service agreements.
  • E-Commerce & Operations: Oversee the e-commerce legal framework, including website terms, promotional policies, loyalty programs, and escalated customer disputes.
  • Legal Governance & Efficiency: Maintain contract templates, clause libraries, intake triage, and the contract repository to optimize turnaround and compliance.
  • Corporate & Real Estate Oversight: Manage day-to-day corporate governance, entity management, board matters, and real estate obligations, including lease reviews.
  • Cross-Functional Advisory: Provide practical, commercially minded risk assessments and legal guidance directly to cross-functional business leaders.

Qualifications

  • Education: Law degree (LL.B. or J.D.).
  • Bar Membership: Active member in good standing of the Barreau du Québec (membership in another Canadian provincial bar is an asset).
  • Experience: Minimum of 5 years in commercial or corporate law, ideally within a fast-paced retail, e-commerce, or technology environment.
  • Language Proficiency: Fully bilingual in French and English with high-level professional execution in both written and verbal communications since we have different legal entities internationally.
  • Contract Management: Proven track record managing high-volume contract pipelines and negotiating complex commercial, technology, and real estate agreements.

What Sets You Apart

  • Legal & Business Judgment: Ability to balance complex legal risk with commercially viable solutions in fast-paced, ambiguous scenarios.
  • Stakeholder Influence: Skilled at simplifying complex legal concepts to align cross-functional leaders and negotiate favorable outcomes under pressure.
  • Strategic Critical Thinking: Expert in evaluating multi-variable situations independently to make sound decisions without complete information.
  • Project & Process Agility: Strong organizational mindset with a continuous-improvement approach to scaling systems and managing projects end-to-end.

Why Join Us

  • Extended health and dental benefits, including comprehensive mental health programs and coverage.
  • Parental top up program.
  • Generous employee discount on ssense.com.
  • Access to telemedicine and employee and family assistance program.
  • Savings and retirement plan matching contributions.
  • Gender Affermation Coverage.
  • Opportunity to work with cutting edge technologies and an innovative team that’s pushing the boundaries of technology.
