Senior Legal Counsel – Germany & Austria

At Rohlik , we move fast — across multiple countries, legal frameworks and a business that keeps evolving. To keep that pace safe and scalable, we need legal support that is sharp, practical and business-minded.

We’re looking for a Senior Legal Counsel who will support our business in Germany and Austria , own key legal topics across both markets, and help us navigate commercial, regulatory and compliance matters with confidence. This is a role for someone who is proactive, independent, and comfortable building new things — not just maintaining what already exists.

You’ll be part of our central Legal team, but your scope will be very much market-facing: helping the business move, grow and stay compliant in two strategically important countries.

Why this role is exciting

• You’ll work across two markets — Germany and Austria — with real ownership and visibility.
• You’ll support a fast-scaling international business where legal is expected to enable growth, not slow it down.
• You’ll work on a broad mix of topics: commercial law, contracts, compliance, regulatory matters, data protection, IP/IT and corporate support.
• You’ll be trusted to solve problems independently and propose practical, business-friendly solutions.
• We are an AI-first company — openness to new tools, legal tech and smarter ways of working is part of how we operate.

What You’ll Do

• Provide legal advice across commercial law, corporate law, regulatory compliance, data protection, IP/IT and e-commerce-related matters.
• Support day‑to‑day business operations in Germany and Austria with practical, solution-oriented legal guidance.
• Draft, review and negotiate a wide range of commercial contracts and legal documents.
• Support strategic projects, including M&A, financing topics, investor-related matters and corporate governance support where relevant to the markets.
• Manage legal projects end-to-end: define the scope, coordinate stakeholders, drive execution and keep quality high.
• Work with external legal counsel where needed, including briefing, coordination and quality control.
• Identify legal risks early and propose pragmatic solutions that reflect both legal requirements and business reality.
• Collaborate closely with internal teams across Legal, Finance, Operations, HR and other functions to move projects forward.

What We’re Looking For

• Master’s degree in Law (bar exam preferred).
• 5+ years of legal experience, ideally combining law firm and in-house exposure.
• Strong experience in commercial law, contract law and regulatory compliance.
• Solid understanding of German and Austrian law is required.
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with both internal and external stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently, make decisions and manage multiple legal topics in parallel.
• Proactive mindset, structured way of working, and willingness to start and build new things.
• Team-oriented mindset and the ability to thrive in a dynamic, growing international business.
• Openness to AI, legal tech tools and modern ways of working.
• Fluent English and German are both required.

What We Offer

• Unlimited vacation days to support a healthy work-life balance.
• Monthly vouchers: €45 tax-free via become.1.
• €20 monthly internet allowance.
• Knuspr Xtra account and 10% discount in the form of Knuspr credits / cashback.
• Great discounts through Corporate Benefits – fitness, travel, tickets, shopping and much more.
• Real growth: we’re not a traditional corporate. Here, you can help shape Category Management in e-commerce from the ground up and take on real ownership.
• Knuspr vibe: an international team, flat hierarchy, and a first-name culture where mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn.
