Senior Legal Counsel

Senior Legal Counsel

Push the boundaries of tech. In your sweatpants.

Alludo is seeking an energetic, self-motivated and team-oriented in-house attorney to join our equally energetic, self-motivated, and team-oriented Legal Department. This is an opportunity to be part of a talented, dedicated, and passionate team that have been delivering award-winning software to millions of users around the globe for nearly 40 years.

As a key member of the Legal Team, you are a self-starter, approachable yet confident, detail-oriented yet flexible, independent and strategic. In short, a chameleon who enjoys variety and a challenge. 

You will work closely with our business and technical teams providing legal guidance on a variety of legal matters.

The top creative and technical minds could work anywhere. So why are so many of them choosing Alludo? Here are three reasons:  

1. This is the moment. It’s an exciting time at Alludo, with new leadership, a refreshed brand (you probably know us as Corel!), and a whole new approach to changing the way the world works. We’re at the forefront of a movement, and we want you to ride this wave with us. 
2. We want you to be you. Too often, companies tell you about their culture and then expect you to fit it. Our culture is built from the people who work here. We want you to feel safe to be who you are, take risks, and show us what you’ve got. 
3. It’s your world. We know you have a life. We want to be part of it, but not all of it. At Alludo, we’re serious about empowering people to work when, how, and where they want. Couch? Sweatpants? Cool with us. We believe that happy employees mean happy customers. That’s why we hire amazing people and get out of their way. 

Sound good so far? Awesome. Let’s talk more about the Senior Legal Counsel role and see if we’re destined to be together.
