Job Description

You will be joining a small group of lawyers as part of Docplanner’s Global Legal Team, supporting on strategic legal projects for the group and helping coordinate a team of local in-house lawyers (one in each of Docplanner’s key markets), in a fast-growing international environment. Areas of responsibility (in conjunction with the Global Lawyers):

• work closely with the Global Senior Legal Counsels to manage and advise on the release of product features or new business lines from a legal/regulatory perspective (ensure compliance with all applicable laws), coordinating local input

• work closely with the Head of Privacy and the Information Security Team, ensuring compliance with applicable personal data legislation (GDPR, LGPD, KVKK, etc), with the help of local specialists

• support the Global Legal Team on creating, updating and maintaining Docplanner’s internal controls and policies in areas such as data protection, anti-bribery, and others, and develop/provide internal training as required

• act as legal business partner to various departments; build strong relationships across the organisation and support the senior management team in strategic initiatives and geographical expansion

• take responsibility for strategic commercial legal work (for example, contracts for clients, suppliers, partners, website terms and conditions, etc.), with support from local in-house or external counsel

• support the Chief Legal and Risk Officer and the Global Senior Legal Counsels in the legal aspects of M&A processes, fundraising efforts, and other strategic Corporate projects

• manage outside counsel and external legal spend across 13 jurisdictions (some international travel may be required from time to time)

• partner with the Docplanner People Experience Team on strategic employee-related matters requiring legal support

• manage litigation with support from local counsel

• manage and foresee business risks and opportunities by regularly reviewing changes in the regulatory/legal environment

Qualifications

• Qualified lawyer in a major global jurisdiction (EU, UK, US, LatAm)

• 2+ years’ of experience in the legal profession (indicative only), ideally split between external advisory (generalist preferred, commercial / M&A / IT / IP / data protection welcome) and in-house (tech / high-growth companies experience a plus)

• fire-starter who can clearly demonstrate ability to be proactive with limited direct supervision and to lead smaller strategic legal projects autonomously

• quick decision-making with good business judgment (balancing both legal and commercial aspects), oftentimes in ambiguous situations

• detail-oriented, well-organised and hands-on (i.e. you are ready to draft and review documents personally)

• ability to handle confidential information in an appropriate and professional manner

• strong interpersonal skills and a teamplayer

• highest degree of professional ethics and integrity

• ready to jump in and “get your hands dirty”

• full professional proficiency and ability to work in English required (additional European languages a strong plus)
