Job Description

Aim high, go beyond!

At Open Cosmos, we’re on a mission to make space accessible for everyone. We design, build and operate satellites that help tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges — from climate monitoring to connectivity.

We’re scaling rapidly across Europe and beyond, and with that growth comes increasing complexity, opportunity, and ambition. As a result we are now looking for a Junior Legal Counsel to join our team and support the commercial and operational activity behind our missions.

This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys working close to the business, taking ownership of their work, and contributing to innovative space projects in a fast-growing international company.

What You’ll be doing

The focus of the role is day-to-day commercial legal work, while also contributing to more complex and innovative projects in the space sector.

Working closely with the General Counsel, you’ll manage your own matters end-to-end, collaborating with teams across the business to deliver practical, commercially focused legal advice.

You’ll Be:

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements, including NDAs, procurement contracts and customer agreements
• Supporting commercial transactions with appropriate supervision
• Providing legal support on complex space-related projects and transactions
• Managing assigned legal matters independently while escalating risks when needed
• Working closely with teams across the business — including Revenue, Procurement and Supply Chain — to provide pragmatic legal advice
• Translating legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non-legal stakeholders

What You’ll Bring

• Practitioner-level expertise in Spanish law
• Experience working with commercial contracts
• Working knowledge of English law in practice
• Full professional proficiency in both English and Spanish
• A genuine interest in working in the Space Sector

This role can be based in either Spain or the UK.

To apply, you must have the legal right to work in your chosen location.

Please submit your application and CV in English
