The posting

SHAPE THE FUTURE OF PRIVACY WITH USERCENTRICS

Usercentrics is a global leader in data privacy and privacy-led marketing solutions. We believe there is no need for a trade-off between growth and privacy compliance. Our vision is to unlock the potential of data privacy to empower a thriving digital ecosystem. We work with companies to create a healthy balance between data-driven business and privacy-led marketing for every size of enterprise. Our customers build trust with their users through improved transparency and control to drastically improve marketing and monetization, while achieving full privacy compliance.

As Senior Legal Counsel, you have a solid understanding of the Legal, Privacy and Tech sector. You are a considerate, bright, forward thinking, entrepreneurial candidate, with a passion for software and “legal tech” products — ensuring our global compliance posture evolves in line with our ambitious growth. You are a person with strong communication, hands-on mentality and strong analytical skills. You’ll have the chance to build frameworks, shape governance, and influence how we scale secure, privacy-centric technology globally.

We are looking for a motivated and engaged Senior Legal Counsel (m / f / d) to support our global Legal team from our office in Munich (Germany) full time to take our Legal team to new heights. Details of the role can be found below.

Requirements

YOUR TASKS

  • Support in shaping the strategic direction of our “Legal Tech” roadmap and play a pivotal role within the dynamic and forward-thinking Product and Tech teams; from the initial stages of design and development, through launch and implementation of new products and services - globally.
  • Counsel and partner closely with Product teams by applying a deep understanding of our solutions, ensuring that compliance, privacy, and risk requirements are embedded throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Help shape and future-proof our growing product portfolio by aligning innovation with evolving global regulatory and compliance standards, ensuring our offerings remain scalable, trusted, and compliant.
  • Draft, review and negotiate software procurement agreements and related vendor contracts as well as requests for information (RFI).
  • Stay on top of critical global law developments and authority decisions and continuously improve internal legal frameworks, templates, and compliance documentation.
  • For any candidates that are a fully qualified German lawyer (please see below), the role includes advising on German and international corporate and commercial law matters (Handels- und Gesellschaftsrecht), support our Corporate Secretary in such matters and liaise with external counsel where needed, including due diligence and M&A.

YOU BRING

  • A fully qualified lawyer admitted to practice in Germany (First and Second State Examination, "Volljurist/in"), or a comparable field—ideally with a strong focus on Legal Tech, SaaS, Data Privacy, and IT Security—alongside 5+ years of relevant in-house experience in an international legal environment. Based in Germany.
  • Strong product acumen with the ability to quickly understand complex SaaS solutions, translate legal and compliance requirements into product features, and advise cross-functional teams effectively.
  • Experience working in a B2B SaaS environment, preferably within digital technologies, legal tech, IT security or similar.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of international commercial, privacy data protection laws, with a focus on EU legislation, regulatory decisions, and authority guidelines.
  • Excellent communication and legal writing skills in English (native or equivalent fluency), with the ability to convey complex legal matters clearly and effectively in a business context.
  • A confident, outgoing personality with a proven public presence—comfortable leading workshops, speaking at conferences, and traveling to our European hubs or external engagements as needed.
  • Nice to have: experience in German and international corporate and commercial law (Handels- und Gesellschaftsrecht), including due diligence and M&A.

At Usercentrics we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
