- Deep knowledge of commercial legal principles, contract law, and business-facing legal support—especially in relation to customer agreements, NDAs, MFAs, and partnership contracts.
- Fluent in both German and English (written and spoken), with the ability to negotiate and draft contracts confidently in both languages.
- Strong understanding of German corporate law and the ability to work effectively in a German legal context.
- Experience working in an international, multi-entity environment and coordinating with external counsel across jurisdictions.
- A highly structured, detail-oriented, and reliable way of working.
- Strong ownership mentality and the ability to manage topics independently from start to finish.
