Director, Legal Affairs & Operations Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Description
Director, Legal Affairs & Operations
This is not a typical in-house legal role. It is one of the most unique opportunities in the market for a commercially minded lawyer, and one of the most demanding.
You will serve as the primary legal resource for Banyan's growing portfolio of independent software businesses, acting as shared in-house counsel for a diverse group of operators who are running their businesses, not their legal function. At the same time, you will work directly alongside the General Counsel on Banyan HQ matters, including procurement, corporate governance, HQ employment, and commercial disputes (including purchase agreement claims with sellers post‑close).
The role is primarily focused on North America, with connectivity to Banyan's UK/European and Australian teams as needed.
You will have direct reports: who support the broader legal function across the portfolio.
