Job Description

We are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Legal & Compliance Manager to own our legal and compliance function across our German and US entities.

Your mission

Legal

You are the internal point of contact for legal and contractual questions across sales, partnerships, and operations, spanning both our German and US operations
You help build lightweight legal and compliance processes, templates, and playbooks that scale with the company

Compliance

You own and continuously develop our information security management system and drive our ISO 27001 certification forward, including preparing for and leading audits
You act as the internal owner who steers our external information security officer (ISO) and coordinates closely with our independent data protection officer (DPO), making sure their expertise translates into effective day-to-day practice
You are our trusted interface in customer and partner due diligence, owning the security and compliance assessments that are often a prerequisite for closing enterprise and critical infrastructure deals
You track regulatory and customer requirements across our markets, from GDPR to the sector-specific expectations of our critical infrastructure clients, and translate them into clear internal controls, policies, and audit-ready evidence

Your profile

You have a legal background, for example a law degree (First State Examination) or a combined law and business degree such as Unternehmensjurist/in (LL.B.) or Wirtschaftsrecht (LL.B.)
You have relevant experience in an in-house legal, compliance, or law firm environment, ideally in a SaaS, technology, or regulated setting, and you are comfortable working across multiple entities and jurisdictions
You are confident negotiating and managing a wide range of stakeholders, from contract negotiations with customers, partners, and suppliers, to working alongside our customers' cyber security experts, global physical security teams, procurement, and data protection functions
