Hand Model Jobs in Whitby, ON (NOW HIRING)

Own commercial contracting end-to-end, drafting, reviewing, and negotiating customer agreements while keeping deals moving efficiently. Work hand-in-hand with Sales and GTM teams to balance speed and risk and help build and scale the contract workflows and CLM system to support growth.

Provide legal support on corporate governance matters including board and audit committee materials, financings, and strategic transactions. Selectively manage external counsel relationships and weigh in on employment matters with the People & Culture team.

Lead the compliance function, overseeing a team that ensures KEV meets obligations across all jurisdictions, including privacy regulations such as GDPR and FERPA and financial compliance requirements tied to our role as a registered ISO and payments processor.

Build and maintain a compliance program that is rigorous yet pragmatic, scaling with the business and giving our school customers confidence that their funds and data are in safe hands. Work cross‑functionally with Product, Finance, and People & Culture to embed compliance thinking into product development and operations.

Oversee KEV’s security governance, collaborating with the Technology team to keep policies, frameworks, and certifications (e.g., SOC 2) current, credible, and operational. Manage vendor risk assessments, support security audits and customer due diligence requests, and ensure KEV’s security posture keeps pace with growth.

Lead and develop a team spanning legal, compliance, and security governance—setting direction, removing blockers, and creating an environment where people do their best work.

Shape what a modern, high‑functioning legal, compliance, and security team looks like at KEV—building scalable processes, identifying automation opportunities, and leveraging legal tech to punch above your weight.

• 7+ years of relevant experience spanning legal, compliance, and/or security governance, with a solid foundation in commercial contracting and corporate matters, plus a law degree (LL.B. or J.D.).
• B2B SaaS or fintech experience is a big plus—demonstrated ability to work fast in a high‑growth environment without cutting corners.
• Experience leading or growing a team, building a high‑performing and enjoyable culture.
• Sharp judgment, a practical approach to risk, and the communication skills to be a trusted partner to stakeholders across Sales, Finance, Product, and the C‑suite.
• Comfortable in ambiguity, excited to build, and genuinely interested in using tools and tech to scale impact.
• Familiarity with privacy regulations (GDPR, FERPA), payment compliance frameworks, and security standards like SOC 2 is a strong asset. Technical expertise is not required, but you understand the language and how to get things done cross‑functionally.

This is a rare opportunity to build something—a modern legal, compliance, and security function powered by smart systems, great people, and a company that values you. You’ll have real ownership, real impact, and a front‑row seat to KEV’s next phase of growth.
