Head of Legal (North America, Montreal)
Who we are
Unit8, founded in 2017, is a high-tech, dynamic Swiss leader in AI and data analytics consulting, renowned for solving complex challenges in non-digital native industries such as automotive, chemicals, financial services, manufacturing, and pharma. Our partnerships with industry leaders like Palantir, NVIDIA, and OpenAI underscore our commitment to excellence. With over 300 successful projects and a team of ~200 professionals across Switzerland, Poland, Germany, Spain and the US, we have entered the Canadian market in early 2026 and are set for further expansion.
Our mission
Unit8 is dedicated to driving AI adoption in non-digital industries and accelerating their digital transformation. We invest in projects that matter, including pro-bono initiatives and “engineering for good” causes.
The opportunity
Following our growth in Europe and our recent expansion into the US market in early 2026, Unit8 is taking its next strategic step in North America. We are looking for a commercially minded Head of Legal to help establish our Canadian presence in Montréal and to be the senior legal voice for our North American business.
This is, above all, a business-enabling role. You are the person who sits with our sales, delivery and finance teams, understands what a deal needs to succeed, and turns complex legal risk into clear, practical positions that help us close. You are the bridge between our clients’ legal and procurement teams
