What you’ll be doing:

  • Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts for enterprise-level customers, strategic partners, and vendors / suppliers.

  • Demonstrated track record of providing practical and strategic legal advice in a SaaS or tech context.
  • Broad commercial experience gained in a fast-paced and international environment.
  • Experience collaborating and communicating with colleagues and stakeholders on different levels (incl. executives) and with different professional backgrounds.

  • Experience managing a team of lawyers.
  • Experience working with cloud-based SaaS products, payments providers, or other financial services products.
  • Knowledge of and experience with IP, data privacy, fiscalization, and corporate law.
