About the role
- Support Projects & Transactions
- Take ownership of defined workstreams within cross-functional projects across Europe, Ukraine, the UK, the US, and other jurisdictions (e.g. market entry, strategic partnerships with key platforms and affiliates, cross-border transactions, etc.).
- Own legal documentation in connection with the project mentioned (e.g. key commercial agreements, approvals, corporate documents).
- Coordinate with external advisors and internal stakeholders on specific tasks, helping to keep matters on track and well documented.
- Provide practical, business-oriented legal support on corporate and commercial questions for key jurisdictions (e.g. UK/ES/PL/UA/US).
- Draft, review, and negotiate a variety of English-law-governed commercial agreements (e.g. supplier, customer, partnership, online subscription, marketing and services contracts) with a focus on key tech platforms (e.g. Google, TikTok, AWS), affiliates, and partners.
- Support corporate governance and entity maintenance for group companies (including minutes, written resolutions, shareholder approvals, PoAs, and basic cap table updates) per responsibility zones.
- Manage day-to-day legal tasks in your area (corporate housekeeping, employment-related documentation support, contract review per responsibility zones, approvals, and ongoing advice to other functions).
- Proactively suggest improvements to legal processes (e.g. contract intake, approval flows, use of templates) based on your day-to-day experience.
- Contribute to the development and improvement of templates, playbooks, and checklists, suggesting updates based on recurring issues in your work.
- Help maintain clear records and documentation, including contract repositories, corporate files, and approval trails.
- Identify and flag legal and commercial risks in contracts and corporate actions, proposing pragmatic mitigations and escalating where appropriate.
- Monitor relevant legal and regulatory developments affecting our corporate and commercial operations (with a focus on the UK/ES/PL/UA) and share key updates with the team.
Requirements
- Qualified lawyer with typically 4–6 years’ post-qualification experience, gained in a top-tier international/strong corporate-commercial law firm and/or in-house at a technology or digital company; a mix of law firm + in-house experience is strongly preferred.
- Solid experience working on cross-border corporate and commercial matters, particularly involving Europe, the UK, and the US.
- Hands-on experience with English-law-governed contracts and corporate documents.
- Confident working collaboratively with cross-functional teams (e.g. operations, finance, HR), managing deadlines and keeping stakeholders informed, without needing heavy supervision.
- Fluency in English at minimum C1 level (drafting and negotiation language); other languages (e.g. Ukrainian, Polish) are a plus.
- Excellent communication skills: able to simplify complex legal concepts for non-lawyers and present clear options and recommendations.
- High degree of business acumen and problem-solving ability, comfortable balancing legal risk against business objectives in a pragmatic way.
- Advanced user of modern productivity and AI tools (e.g. for legal research, drafting, contract analysis and workflow optimisation).
- Behavioural fit: very attentive to detail, structured and organised, and low-ego, with a team-first mindset and openness to feedback.
