- Provide day-to-day legal support to the business via internal request flows and legal ticket handling.
- Work closely with external counsel and notaries on jurisdiction-specific corporate and commercial matters.
- Support due diligence and selected transaction-related activities, including preparation of legal documentation and coordination of requests.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of legal workflows, documentation standards, contract templates, and overall legal operations.
- Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders across functions and act as a pragmatic, service-oriented legal advisor.
- Balance commercial agility with legal accuracy, ensuring that deals move forward without unnecessary friction while protecting the business.
What you bring to the table
- Several years of professional experience in Legal, with a strong focus on commercial contract negotiation, drafting, and review.
- Proven track record managing commercial contracts in a SaaS, technology, or fast-paced commercial business environment.
- Deep knowledge of commercial legal principles, contract law, and business-facing legal support—especially in relation to customer agreements, NDAs, MFAs, and partnership contracts.
- Fluent in both German and English (written and spoken), with the ability to negotiate and draft contracts confidently in both languages.
- Strong understanding of German corporate law and the ability to work effectively in a German legal context.
- Experience working in an international, multi-entity environment and coordinating with external counsel across jurisdictions.
- A highly structured, detail-oriented, and reliable way of working.
- Strong ownership mentality and the ability to manage topics independently from start to finish.
