About the role

  • Legal Counsel providing advisory services in IT contract law and handling legal inquiries. Collaborating with management and legal departments within the DACH region.

Responsibilities

  • Comprehensive legal advisory: You are the primary point of contact for executive management and our business units on all legal matters.
  • IT contract law & data protection: You independently draft, review and negotiate complex IT agreements (SaaS, cloud, managed services) as well as data processing agreements (DPAs) and ensure GDPR compliance.
  • Employment law responsibility: You provide legally sound advice to our HR department on all employment law issues.
  • Process architect: With a hands‑on mentality, you continuously develop our legal workflows. You don’t wait for tasks to be assigned; you identify optimization opportunities in internal structures and implement solutions independently.
  • Public sector & compliance: You navigate procurement law for public tenders with legal certainty and secure our external business processes.

Requirements

  • A completed degree in business law (LL.M.) or law (ideally both state examinations; at minimum the first state exam with a relevant additional qualification).
  • At least 3–5 years of solid professional experience in an in‑house legal department or law firm with a focus on IT law, data protection and contract drafting.
  • Confident handling of cross‑border legal matters, particularly within the DACH region, and international contract law.
  • You enjoy taking responsibility and driving matters independently. Micromanagement is foreign to you — you prioritize your topics yourself and work result‑oriented.
  • You can explain complex legal issues to non‑lawyers clearly in German and English and conduct negotiations confidently and solution‑oriented.

Benefits

  • Total flexibility: Work the way that fits your life — remotely across Germany, hybrid, or from one of our offices in Germany (Magstadt, Darmstadt, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Ulm, Heidelberg, Frankfurt).
  • Workation: Want to work and explore new places? Use up to 30 days of workation per year and combine work with adventure.
  • Time off: Recharge with 30 days of vacation per year whenever you need.
  • Your hardware, your choice: Mac, Windows or Linux — you decide which tools you prefer.
  • Career development: Training, labs and certifications with AWS, Azure, Google & SAP — we boost your cloud know‑how.
  • Meaningful feedback: Regular development and salary review meetings so you always know where you stand.
  • More than basics: Choose between a Spendit card, Wellpass or a Deutschlandticket. Additionally, childcare subsidy and bike leasing as extra perks for life beyond the laptop.
  • Team spirit: Whether team events, summer party or Christmas celebration — we celebrate successes together.
