We’re looking for a Legal Advisor to join a growing international company on an exciting journey across Europe. You’ll shape how the business contracts, advise leadership on the questions that matter most, and build the legal function from the ground up, with real ownership over how things are done. This is more than an advisory seat: it’s a launchpad, with a clear path to becoming Chief Legal Officer as the company and the function grow together. If you’re a legal advisor looking for genuine influence, creative freedom, and a real leadership trajectory rather than routine work, this is a role worth exploring.
Requirements:
- Strong legal background with hands-on experience in contract law, corporate law, or general business legal advisory.
- Ability to translate legal analysis into clear, practical guidance for business stakeholders.
- Willingness and ability to build deep expertise in Dutch legislation on the job.
- Comfortable moving beyond research into advisory and decision-making work.
- Ability to work independently, structure ambiguous legal questions, and communicate findings and recommendations clearly to non-legal stakeholders.
- Advanced English proficiency (written and spoken).
- Prior experience advising on legal matters for a growing company or ambition to grow into a senior in-house legal leadership role, is a strong plus.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and refine contract concepts and templates used across the business, adapting them as the company grows into new markets.
- Act as an internal legal advisor across a range of topics: contracts, corporate matters, compliance, and other legal questions as they arise.
- Monitor relevant legislation and regulatory developments to keep the company’s practices aligned with current legal standards.
- Assess legal risk in day-to-day business decisions and propose practical, workable solutions.
- Build and maintain internal legal documentation, guidance, and knowledge resources.
- Partner with leadership on legal strategy as the function scales, with a path to owning the legal function fully as Chief Legal Officer in the future.
- Progressively expand the scope of legal oversight from the Netherlands into other European countries as the business grows there.
