The way businesses buy stuff is completely broken. Whether it’s SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders (IT, Legal, InfoSec, Finance, etc.). No one likes the way it is and it’s slowing businesses down.

Omnea’s platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management & supplier risk assessments. Omnea gives both buyers, and finance & procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.

Given the current market's increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spend. This is why we're one of the fastest growing Series A B2B businesses in Europe, backed by tier-1 VCs like Accel, First Round, & Point Nine.

Welcome to Spend Control 2.0 — built for tougher times.

Overview

We’re looking for an exceptional Legal & Compliance Manager to join Omnea’s team to support all aspects of our governance and support our rapid scale!

Reporting to our CFO Sabrina, you'll be a trusted right-hand and work across all aspects of legal, compliance, and information security, from commercial negotiations, to corporate transactions, employment matters, advising on our product, and driving infosec certifications. As the first member of Legal at Omnea you'll have a broad scope and a wide remit to accelerate and protect our business as we quickly grow and scale to multiple markets!

This is an evolving role, and whether you're coming from another startup or straight out of a firm, you'll get to have an outsized impact at Omnea, and it's a perfect role for someone who believes that legal functions should help businesses run faster, not slower.

You’ll be joining us at an incredibly exciting time, just as things are starting to take off! We're a Series A company having raised $25m from Accel, Point Nine, First Round, and 50+ renowned founders and industry experts. We’ve built an incredible & passionate team — every member was a top performer at their previous business - and our CEO, CCO & CFO went on a similar journey with Tessian, going from $0-30m ARR / $8-$500m valuation, and from pre-seed to Series C (Sequoia, Accel, etc.).

We've spent the past 18 months building & deploying our platform to many of the greatest tech companies out there (Lookout, McAfee, Onfido, Typeform, Proofpoint, etc.), all whilst managing to stay lean & operate efficiently.

Now we’re ready to scale, and looking for someone great as we work to make Omnea one of Europe’s leading tech businesses: come build with us!
