Your Role at Yuki

In April 2026, Teamleader, Yuki and AdminPulse merged their operations into one business unit: WorkSmarterBU. Three companies, 11 legal entities, multiple products, one legal team that centralises under a single CFO.

As a Legal Counsel, you will ensure compliance, manage contracts, and provide strategic legal guidance across two dynamic organisations within the Visma group: Teamleader and Yuki. In this hybrid role, you’ll split your time between the two companies.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts across the full lifecycle - customer and vendor agreements, partnerships, DPAs, and service agreements - including contested terminations and escalated negotiations with enterprise counterparties.

• Provide legal support for strategic projects, including pricing, product changes, and AI integration.

• Ensure GDPR compliance and manage data protection activities.

• Own regulatory compliance beyond GDPR: NIS2, the EU Data Act, the EU AI Act, and Belgian implementing law, translating new regulation into concrete product and Terms of Service changes.

• Manage disputes and pre-litigation matters end-to-end: damages claims, insurer notifications, correspondence with opposing counsel, and coordination with external law firms.

• Lead AI governance: assess and approve AI vendors and tools against group policy, draft internal AI usage guidelines, and advise product and go-to-market teams on the responsible deployment of AI features (including meeting-recording and LLM-based tools).

• Maintaining existing legal processes while also setting up new processes from scratch to support evolving business needs.

• Oversee corporate housekeeping and respond to day-to-day legal inquiries.

• Manage intellectual property: trademark portfolio strategy, oppositions, and instructing external counsel where needed.
