About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of customer-facing agreements across multiple jurisdictions, including MSAs, SaaS and platform contracts.
  • Oversee the contract lifecycle for customer agreements, leveraging existing automation, with a hands-on focus on larger and non-standard contracts and on keeping the underlying processes current across 1NCE's key markets in Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.
  • Advise on jurisdiction-specific requirements and adapt standard contract frameworks for local law compliance across 1NCE's operating markets.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate vendor and supply chain agreements.
  • Support the commercial team by developing and maintaining standard customer contract templates, GTCs, negotiation playbooks, and pre-approved fallback positions.
  • Advise the business on GDPR compliance, working in close coordination with the DPO and CISO.
  • Support developing, maintaining, and continuously improving 1NCE's privacy compliance framework — including ROPA, privacy policies and notices, consent and cookie mechanisms, internal data protection policies, data subject request handling, and vendor privacy reviews.
  • Support privacy compliance across 1NCE's key jurisdictions beyond the EU (including the US and Singapore), coordinating with external counsel where local depth is required.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate data processing agreements (DPAs), data transfer clauses, and joint controller arrangements as part of customer and vendor contract workflows.
  • Support international data transfer compliance, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses and adequacy framework monitoring, and assist the DPO with TIAs and DPIAs where additional internal capacity is needed.
  • Monitor and understand developments in EU data protection and tech regulation (including the EU AI Act, Data Act, ePrivacy and CRA) and translate them into practical guidance for the business.
  • Support the business on contentious commercial matters with customers, partners and suppliers through negotiation, settlement, and pre-litigation resolution, instructing and supervising external counsel where required.
  • Identify, assess, and communicate legal risk to the business clearly and actionably.
  • Support the development of internal compliance policies and risk frameworks.
  • Act as trusted legal advisor to Sales, Product, IT, Security, Finance/Accounting and Operations.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Fully qualified lawyer in Germany (Volljurist/in); Syndikusrechtsanwalt status preferred or obtainable.
  • Minimum 5 years of post-qualification experience covering commercial / technology law and data protection, ideally combining law firm and in-house experience.
  • Strong track record in drafting and negotiating customer-facing commercial agreements across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Strong working knowledge of GDPR and demonstrated experience operationalising privacy compliance — e.g. ROPA, privacy notices, consent and cookie mechanisms, internal policies and data subject request processes — not solely in a contract-review context.
  • Experience handling contentious commercial matters and negotiating settlements with customers, partners or suppliers.
  • Comfortable working in a small team with a broad mandate and global scope, with a hands-on attitude and sound judgement on prioritisation.
  • Genuine interest in the IoT, telecommunications, software and cloud space; prior in-house or law firm experience in these sectors is strongly preferred.
  • Fluent in German and English — written and spoken.
