- Proven experience handling commercial contracts in a B2B environment, with the ability to manage negotiations with a good degree of autonomy

About this role
Emnify, a fast-scaling business in Berlin, is looking for a (Senior) Legal Counsel to lead legal strategy across commercial, corporate, compliance, and regulatory matters. You'll own topics end-to-end or develop into that responsibility with support from the VP Legal & General Counsel and a small international legal team. The role sits at the intersection of legal protection and business enablement—drafting and negotiating B2B contracts, advising on risk mitigation, and embedding legal thinking into cross-functional initiatives from M&A to governance.
The ideal candidate holds a German law qualification (2. Juristisches Staatsexamen, befriedigend or better), U.S. bar admission, or England & Wales solicitor qualification. You'll need proven experience negotiating commercial contracts with autonomy, strong commercial judgment to balance legal risk against business needs, and the ability to work across multiple concurrent topics in a collaborative environment. Clear communication is essential—you'll regularly translate legal concepts for non-legal stakeholders and help the business move forward with confidence.
