We’re looking for our first in-house legal hire to take ownership of Legal, Tax and Structuring across a fast-growing international digital business.

We operate across multiple countries and multiple legal entities
, with offices in Madrid, Rotterdam and Limassol, Cyprus
, and our structure continues to evolve as we scale.

Until now, legal, tax and structuring matters have been handled across different departments and with external advisors. As the business has grown, that approach no longer works. We need one person who can take ownership, bring everything together and build the framework that allows the business to move quickly without creating unnecessary legal, tax or structural risk.

This is a hands-on role
. You won't be joining an established legal department with processes already in place. You'll be the person building that function from the ground up.

• 5+ years of relevant experience in Legal, Tax, Structuring or a closely related area.

• Experience in a digital, online business is a must. You understand the pace, commercial reality and legal challenges that come with digital businesses.

• Strong experience working with multi-country, multi-entity international structures is a must.

• Solid experience with cross-border structures, intercompany agreements, transfer pricing, IP licensing and M&A.

• Strong understanding of commercial contracts and corporate governance
  .

• A genuinely hands-on approach
  . You are comfortable getting into the detail, drafting and reviewing agreements yourself, solving problems and building processes rather than simply delegating them.

• Strong ownership and accountability
  . You will be the first in-house legal person, so you need to be comfortable taking responsibility without an existing legal team around you.

• Pragmatic and solution-oriented. You know how to protect the business without unnecessarily slowing it down.

• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, scaling environment where structures…
