Your Key Responsibilities:

• Contract review and negotiation: Independently review and negotiate software, SaaS, cloud, license, service and partnership agreements, as well as contracts with customers, service providers and technology partners.

• The ability to explain complex legal matters clearly to non-lawyers.

What Sets You Apart

• Experience with legal tech and AI-assisted legal tools, including legal prompting with large language models.
• Experience with customer, partner or procurement contracts in a platform, marketplace or e-commerce business.
• Knowledge of data protection law.
• Specialist title (Fachanwalt) or additional qualification (e.g., LL.M.) in IT, commercial, e-commerce or contract law.
