Additional Information
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.
