Senior Counsel

About Nintex:

Nintex isn't just another process automation company—we're pioneering Agentic Business Orchestration, the next evolution in intelligent automation powered by AI. While the industry struggles with SaaS fragmentation and disconnected systems, we're unifying process intelligence, agentic workflow orchestration, and AI-driven solution building into a single governed platform that's transforming how 8,000+ organizations across 90 countries work.

Our cutting-edge AI capabilities—from our AI Process Generator that creates best-practice documentation in seconds to our AI Workflow Generator that builds complex automations from simple prompts—are eliminating the friction that slows business down. We're not automating tasks; we're orchestrating intelligent agents, legacy systems, and human expertise to drive strategic outcomes at enterprise scale. 

This is where AI meets automation. This is where you'll shape the legal infrastructure of possibility. 

About the Role: 

We're seeking an exceptional Senior Counsel to join our high-performing legal team at a pivotal moment in our growth.

This isn't a traditional legal role. As a senior strategic advisor reporting directly to the General Counsel, you'll architect legal solutions for one of the fastest-moving intelligent automation platforms, where AI-powered products launch quarterly and global expansion happens at startup speed.

Your work will directly impact our ability to deliver AI innovations that eliminate manual work for millions of knowledge workers.
