At OpenText, AI is at the heart of everything we do—powering innovation, transforming work, and empowering digital knowledge workers. We're hiring talent that AI can't replace to help us shape the future of information management. Join us.

 Your impact

As Legal Counsel – Emerging Markets at OpenText, you'll be a trusted advisor for our operations across the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region and, when needed, the Middle East and Africa (MEA). You'll work closely with business teams to draft and negotiate high-value contracts, navigate complex legal frameworks, and ensure compliance in an evolving technology landscape. Beyond traditional legal work, you'll also help drive our digital transformation in legal operations, bringing innovative solutions to the forefront of our processes.

What the role offers

  • A strategic and hands-on legal role at the heart of a global technology company

  • The opportunity to advise on cutting-edge issues in SaaS, cloud, AI, and digital transformation

  • Regional responsibility across CEE, with occasional MEA exposure

  • Collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders in Sales, Finance, Compliance, and Product teams

  • A platform to shape legal processes through automation, contract analytics, and legal tech tools

  • A fast-paced environment where commercial awareness and practical problem-solving are valued as much as legal precision

 What you need to succeed

Experience & Skills

  • Qualified lawyer with 3+ years post-qualification experience (PQE)

  • Strong track record in contract drafting and negotiation in the technology sector

  • Background in multinational IT/tech companies or top-tier law firms advising such clients

  • Excellent command of English (written and spoken) and native fluency in a CEE language

  • Knowledge of data protection, cybersecurity, and AI-related legal frameworks

Mindset & Attributes

  • Business-oriented legal thinking — balancing risk management with commercial goals

  • A keen interest in legal tech and process innovation

  • High attention to detail combined with a pragmatic, solution-driven approach

  • Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, multicultural environment

  • Strong interpersonal skills with a collaborative, advisory style

 One last thing

This isn't just a legal role — it's an opportunity to combine regional legal expertise with innovation in legal service delivery, making a direct impact on how we operate across emerging markets. If you're passionate about law, technology, and finding practical solutions in complex environments, we'd love to hear from you.
