You will be the primary legal voice at leadership level, advising the Co-CEOs, the Executive Team, and senior stakeholders on the legal and risk dimensions of the decisions that shape AMBOSS's future.
You will own how AMBOSS identifies, prioritises, and manages legal and regulatory risk across all markets.
You will lead and grow AMBOSS's legal team of currently 3 team members: hiring, developing, and leading lawyers as we scale.
You will either handle IP, corporate governance, regulatory matters, employment, commercial contracts, corporate records directly or ensure they are well-covered within your team.

A completed legal qualification, ideally in German law, with at least 10 years of post-qualification experience, including a substantial period spent in-house preferably at a fast-moving company. Pure law firm backgrounds are not the right fit for this role. Additional experience in US law is a plus.
Demonstrated experience leading a legal team of meaningful size: Hiring, developing, and leading a team, with a clear preference for leadership over individual contribution.
A track record of making and owning risk-based decisions in a commercial environment, and translating legal complexity into clear, actionable guidance for non-lawyers.
Solid grounding in corporate law, with hands-on exposure to M&A, financing rounds, or significant commercial transactions.
Meaningful experience in a technology company or similarly complex, fast-moving environment, including familiarity with the legal landscape for digital products (IP, privacy, consumer protection, product counselling).
A pragmatic, hands-on interest in AI and legal technology, and a track record (or clear ambition) of using these tools to make legal work faster, sharper, and more scalable.
Comfort operating at the pace, pragmatism, and trade-offs that come with sitting inside a business rather than advising from the outside.
