About Lucidya

Our platform empowers marketing, customer support, CX, and research teams to deliver personalized experiences that improve customer satisfaction, retention, and lifetime value.

Why this role matters

Lucidya is growing quickly. As we expand across the GCC, serve more enterprise and government customers, and prepare for the next stage of our journey, Legal & Compliance becomes a strategic enabler of that growth.

We're looking for someone to build and lead a lean, high-impact Legal & Compliance function that helps the business scale with confidence. You'll own the legal, governance, risk, compliance, and data protection agenda, ensuring we remain commercially agile while meeting the expectations of customers, regulators, auditors, and investors.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll partner closely with the executive team, manage a small internal team and external counsel, and build the foundations that support Lucidya's long-term success.

What You'll Do

• Own Lucidya's legal and compliance strategy, building a function that enables the business to grow while maintaining strong governance and managing risk effectively.
• Streamline our commercial contracting process across customer, vendor, partner, and public sector agreements by creating practical templates, playbooks, and processes that help the business move faster without compromising protection.
• Lead our Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) program, ensuring certifications such as ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, NIST, GDPR, and other compliance requirements remain audit-ready through close partnership with Security and Engineering.
• Act as Lucidya's Data Protection Officer, ensuring compliance with Saudi PDPL, GDPR, and other privacy regulations while embedding privacy-by-design into our products and operations.
• Lead corporate legal matters across the group structure, supporting board governance, corporate administration, mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, and future capital markets readiness.
• Enable Lucidya's regional expansion by leading the legal and compliance work required to establish new entities, manage local regulatory obligations, and coordinate external legal counsel across multiple jurisdictions.
• Build and lead a lean Legal & Compliance team, creating the right balance between internal capability and external expertise while serving as a trusted advisor to the CEO, CFO, and executive leadership team.
