Interested in becoming a Head of Legal? We are working with a high-growth company in Berlin that's looking for a Senior Legal Counsel - but the remit is broader than the title suggests.
This person will shape the legal function, optimise legal processes, and set the strategic direction for legal - while managing a mix of in-house topics (Corporate, Commercial, Regulatory, etc). If things go well, there's a clear path to becoming Head of Legal.
Tasks
Design and implement scalable legal processes that support a high-growth environment.
Review and improve contract templates, policies, and internal workflows.
Oversee legal matters related to corporate law, labor law, data protection, and regulatory compliance.
Monitor legal and regulatory developments and advise the business proactively.
Manage external legal advisors to ensure cost-effective, high-quality legal support.
Draft, review, and negotiate a variety of contracts, including commercial, partnership, employment, and vendor agreements.
Requirements
Qualified lawyer (Germany) with 4+ years' post-qualification experience.
Solid grounding in commercial and corporate law.
In-house experience preferred - either from a scale-up, or tech-heavy company.
A hands-on mindset - you’re comfortable working independently and wearing multiple legal hats.
Clear communicator who can explain legal issues in practical, business-first language.
Ambitious and pragmatic, with an interest in building in an innovative environment.
Based in Berlin or willing to relocate.
