The Staffbase Legal team is a mighty (and growing!) team, that works across all departments to guide and grow the business in support of our rapid and international expansion. At Staffbase Legal, our core values are plain language, business acumen, and finding workable and pragmatic solutions to legal problems. We also practice Kaizen, or continuous improvement, and constantly examine how we can improve our processes, templates, and policies to improve the experience for our customers and our team here at Staffbase.

This role is a full time position (40 hours per week) and can be based in Amsterdam, Berlin or Cologne.

As part of this role, you’ll be reporting directly into our Associate General Counsel, Global Head of Commercial, based in Toronto, Canada, as a part of Team Operations at Staffbase. This role is primarily focussed on operational and legal help for Staffbase, including helping design legal processes, reviewing legal documents for compliance with our policies and procedures, contract management, RFP/RFQ support and training our Communicorns on best practices.

You’ll work with NDAs, commercial agreements, and a bit of “everything else” that comes up within the business as an in-house associate legal lawyer. This role is unique in that you’ll get exposure to every level and area of the business, including commercial legal work, IT-law, privacy, data protection and compliance with the chance to develop skills in both commercial law and data privacy law. As required, you’ll help to develop and manage legal processes across the business as we scale for growth, and to apply those processes to areas such as Sales, purchasing, and data protection. This role requires creative thinking and will collaborate directly with our executives, sales and customer experience teams.

And finally, The “only constant at a startup is change”, and so you need to be a self-starter who is comfortable with change, who has a hands-on approach in day-to-day work, and who enjoys a fast pace. Come build something fun with us!

What you’ll be doing

  • Reviewing and drafting legal documents (e.g. order forms, RFPs and RFQs, and other commercial documents related to sales deals) in English and in German
  • Taking ownership over global NDA negotiations
  • Managing and coordinating the purchasing process; vendor implementations
  • Support with negotiating legal terms with vendors in English and in German

  • Support in developing legal processes in line with commercial practice in the SaaS industry as well as legal compliance rules and guidelines
  • Supporting and guiding Communicorns applying our legal process, in particular the sales process

  • Organising the company deal documentation, filing and ensuring compliance of all signed Staffbase contracts
  • Supporting and working closely with the Commercial Legal Counsels on commercial deals across DACH, UKI and NA
  • Maintain deal tracking
  • Compliance check of all sales deals
  • Enjoy working in a flexible environment where the key metric is “getting things done”
  • Not afraid to buzz the tower

What you’ll need to be successful

  • Fluent in German and English (both C1+)
  • Legal training, either in practice, through a degree, or as a qualified lawyer
  • Affinity for technology, including using and exploring different technologies
  • Analytical, creative, problem solving and entrepreneurial personality
  • Strong communication, negotiation, and project management skills
  • Highly motivated, driven and self-starting individual who loves to work in a diverse and international team

Great to haves:

  • SaaS or software industry experience
