Legal Counsel (m/f/d)

We are looking for a Legal Counsel to cover a parental leave until the end of December 2027, working from either Berlin or Helsinki.

• Conducting legal research and supporting the development of new products, services, and other business initiatives.
• Providing practical and business‑oriented legal advice to stakeholders across the company.
• Supporting the handling of customer disputes and coordinating with external law firms.

• Have a law degree and ideally minimum 3+ years of relevant experience.
• Bring fluency in German and English, both written and spoken.
• Have a strong interest in in‑house legal work and the regulatory framework applicable to Fin Tech, payments, and financial services, particularly EU and German laws such as PSD2, ZAG and GwG.
• Are comfortable working across a broad range of legal matters.
• Bring curiosity about AI and its practical application in legal work.
• Have a hands‑on, pragmatic, and solution‑oriented mindset with strong communication skills.
• Bring enthusiasm for taking ownership, expanding into new areas of law, and partnering closely with business stakeholders.

• Have worked in Fin Tech, financial services, or a regulated industry.

• Flexible working hours and a hybrid work setting – we work at least two days per week from the office, but also offer possibilities for periods of remote work.
• Monthly benefit budget that can be used in multiple ways.
• Work‑life balance – weekly exercise hour, bi‑weekly breakfasts, bi‑annual team weeks in Helsinki and more.
• The chance to shape this role around what’s good for you and Holvi.

• This is a fixed‑term position until the end of December 2027 to cover a parental leave within our Legal Team.
• You’ll be headquartered in our sleek office in Berlin, Kreuzberg or Helsinki, Kallio.

At Holvi, we embrace diversity in all of its forms and foster an inclusive environment for all people to live their best work life. This is central to our mission of promoting a healthy balance in all things we do.
