Have a background in law, with experience in an in-house legal team or corporate legal department gained in the DACH or Benelux market - ideally with exposure to legal operations, process improvement, or technology implementation
Bring a language skill relevant to the DACH or Benelux market (either German, Dutch/Flemish or French)
Are tech-curious and product-savvy. Not necessarily a coder, but passionate about navigating technical conversations, especially around things like generative AI, technology implementation, innovation and productivity
Communicate clearly and confidently with diverse stakeholders, from General Counsels to business leaders, and from lawyers to engineers. I.e. translating across disciplines is second nature to you
Bring structure to ambiguity and energy to complexity; and enjoy being the calm, credible presence in a fast-moving environment
Understand how to evaluate and improve existing processes as a direct result of new and emerging technologies - whether that's streamlining contract workflows, improving matter management, or enhancing compliance processes
Are proactive, self-directed, and comfortable juggling multiple client relationships at once
Care deeply about quality, but don't get stuck in perfectionism - you get things done, and you make them better over time
Understand the commercial realities of in-house life: doing more with limited resources, demonstrating value to the business, balancing risk and commercial objectives, and being a strategic partner rather than just a cost centre
A few more things
We're a fast-growing company with bold ambitions, so you'll be joining at a time when things are moving quickly - in the best possible way. You'll have a lot of autonomy, a lot of responsibility, and the chance to genuinely shape how this function evolves. Everyone here has a founder-mentality
If that sounds exciting rather than terrifying, we'd love to hear from you
