About Guidde

Guidde is an AI digital adoption platform that serves as the creation and consumption hub for modern organizations. Founded in 2020 by seasoned entrepreneurs, we use generative AI to transform workflows into rich, multi-format documentation in minutes. Our platform helps teams scale knowledge across employees, customers, and even AI systems, turning everyday processes into instant, in-app video guiddes that live where work actually happens.

More than 4,500 organizations worldwide, from fast-growing startups to Fortune 500 enterprises, rely on Guidde to reduce support load, accelerate onboarding, and make knowledge accessible on demand.

We’re building the future of how knowledge is created, shared, and experienced.

The Ideal "Guidder" is like our platform - clear, impactful, and focused on delivering value. We blend a startup environment with sports team principles - strategic in planning, collaborative in execution, and obsessed with customer wins. We value doers who listen more than they talk and who show up ready to play their best game. Ready to make your mark on our roster? Go Guidde!

If you are a business-first legal leader who wants to sit at the table - not on the sidelines. You thrive in fast-moving environments, build structure where none exists, and see legal as a growth enabler - not a blocker. If you’re excited to become our first in-house legal partner and shape how legal supports a scaling global SaaS company, then your place is with us!

What will you do?
  • Own commercial contracts end-to-end – Review and negotiate customer and vendor agreements with fast turnaround and practical, business-focused guidance
  • Lead corporate governance and compliance – Oversee governance matters, employment law issues, and ensure ongoing compliance with corporate requirements
  • Drive risk management and regulatory strategy – Monitor global regulations (privacy, AI, IP), assess impact, and operationalize compliance across the organization
  • Build modern legal infrastructure – Establish scalable legal processes, tools, and systems from scratch, leveraging technology to increase efficiency
  • Manage external counsel and litigation – Oversee outside firms, manage legal budgets, handle disputes, and strategically bring work in-house when possible
  • Enable the organization legally – Develop and deliver internal legal training, improving awareness and empowering teams to operate confidently
What will you need to have?
  • 8+ years of legal experience – Including at least 5 years in-house, preferably in SaaS or high-growth tech environments
  • Deep SaaS legal expertise – Strong experience with subscription models, commercial agreements, privacy, and SaaS-specific regulatory matters
  • Broad legal foundation – Solid knowledge across corporate governance, employment law, IP, privacy, and risk management
  • Strong commercial judgment – Proven ability to negotiate complex agreements while balancing risk and business objectives
  • Executive presence and startup mindset – Ability to operate independently, build authority in ambiguity, and establish legal infrastructure from the ground up
Bonus points if you have:
  • Experience integrating technology or AI into legal operations
  • Significant background in intellectual property law
  • Global privacy and AI regulatory expertise. Familiarity with GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, international data transfers, AI-related regulations (including EU AI Act), and operational privacy programs (DPAs, data mapping, breach response)
Your journey with Guidde
  • Leave Your Mark: Build and own the legal function of a fast-scaling global SaaS company
  • Work Your Way (Hybrid): Enjoy a flexible work arrangement based in Tel Aviv
  • Innovate Together: Partner closely with Finance, Product, GTM, and Leadership to enable responsible growth
