Legal and Compliance Associate

Legal and Compliance Associate (Bristol, hybrid - up to £45k)

At CareScribe, we design cutting-edge technology that helps people work smarter, communicate better, and create more inclusive environments. What began as a mission to make workplaces and education more accessible has evolved into building tools that help people all over the world focus, stay productive, and feel connected.

Our products – Caption.Ed and TalkType – are used by many educators, professionals, and businesses to reduce meeting fatigue, improve communication, and make everyday interactions more inclusive.

As we continue to grow, we're committed to staying safe, secure, and compliant – and that's where you come in.

Where you come in

We're on the lookout for a curious, detail-obsessed, and solutions-focused Legal & Compliance Associate to join our team.

This is a brilliant opportunity to shape and support CareScribe's legal and compliance operations - from managing contracts and audits, to handling due diligence requests and helping us maintain industry-leading standards in data protection, security, and governance.

You'll work across multiple teams and functions, liaising with legal counsel, sales, finance, IT, and operations to help us stay ahead of regulatory requirements - while also playing a key role in enabling our commercial growth.

If you're excited by the intersection of law, business, and operations, and keen to help build, optimise, and scale best-in-class compliance processes - we want to hear from you.

This isn't a legal advice or qualified solicitor role - but it is ideal for someone with legal, risk, or compliance experience who's looking to grow their career in a fast-paced, mission-driven tech company.

What you'll be doing

Legal and Contracts

• Manage and review key legal documents like NDAs, DPAs, MSAs, and vendor contracts, liaising with external counsel when needed.
• Support internal teams with legal and compliance queries.
• Keep our contract management system organised and up to date.
• Oversee IP protection and ensure contracts meet internal risk thresholds for liability, indemnity, warranties, and intellectual property

Compliance and Risk

• Support data protection and regulatory compliance, including GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.
• Lead DPIAs for third-party vendors and maintain GDPR compliance documentation, including the Record of Processing Activities (RoPA)
• Maintain and roll out policies, risk registers, and other key compliance documentation, helping to build a culture of compliance across the business.
• Manage key insurance documents, renewals, and claims logs.

Audits, Certifications and Reports

• Help prepare for and support key certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, B Corp) and audits.
• Respond to due diligence requests from partners, customers, and investors.
• Track our progress on ESG and impact metrics, and support award and grant applications.

About you

• Solid understanding of legal or compliance frameworks such as GDPR, ISO 27001 or SOC 2, including experience with contracts, IP clauses, and DPIAs/RoPA
• Familiarity with corporate governance processes, including board resolutions, Companies House filings, shareholder agreements, and option schemes
• Background in legal, paralegal, or compliance work - or a law graduate who's moved into operations, governance, or risk
• Ideally some experience in tech or SaaS environments (not essential) - confidence with compliance and legal documentation matters most
• Highly organised and methodical - spreadsheets, trackers and to-do lists are your best friends
• Enjoy solving problems, streamlining processes, and spotting potential risks
• Clear communicator - whether explaining legal concepts or writing up a new SOP
• Collaborative and comfortable working across teams like sales and operations
• Experienced with tools like DocuSign, Vanta, Drata, or similar, and project/work management platforms (Asana, Trello, ) - or you're a fast learner
• Thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments, happy working independently and enjoys building new processes
• Excited about building your career in legal ops, compliance or governance and hold (or are working towards) relevant certifications, such as CIPP/E, CIPM, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, or ICA Certificate in Compliance
