YOUR MISSION

As a Legal Counsel, you will:

• Build and establish the Legal function for the Pimcore Group and become the central point of contact for legal matters across the organization.
• Independently draft, review and negotiate customer agreements and other commercial contracts, including supplier and partner agreements as well as NDAs.
• Assess complex legal matters pragmatically and translate them into clear, decision-ready recommendations for the Executive Management Team.
• Act as the central interface to our external law firms and take ownership of their engagement, coordination and management.
• Build and manage a structured contract management system and central contract repository.
• Manage the Group's insurance portfolio and act as the main point of contact for insurers and insurance brokers.
• Prepare shareholder resolutions and support corporate housekeeping across our group entities in Austria, Germany, the US and Canada.
• Take ownership of trademark and IP-related matters in close collaboration with external specialists.

WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING

• A completed degree in Law (Mag. iur.) or a comparable qualification, including completed Austrian court practice (Gerichtsjahr).
• 4–8 years of relevant professional experience, ideally within a commercial law firm focusing on Corporate, Commercial or IT law and/or in an in-house legal role within a technology company.
• Strong knowledge of Austrian civil, corporate and contract law.
• Proven experience independently drafting, reviewing and negotiating B2B contracts.
• The ability to translate complex legal matters into clear, pragmatic and decision-ready guidance for non-legal stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both German and English, including the ability to work and negotiate contracts in both languages.
• A pragmatic, commercially minded generalist approach, a high level of independence and the ability to take ownership of topics end-to-end.
• The motivation to build structures and processes from the ground up and continuously improve them.
• Nice to have: Experience with commercial software licensing models and SaaS agreements, including usage rights, audit rights and SLAs; trademark and IP matters; data protection law (GDPR); international contracting standards, particularly US-related agreements and IP indemnification; insurance portfolios; or contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools. Admission to the bar or an LL.M. is a plus, but not a requirement.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

• Maximum room to shape the function: as our first legal hire, you will build our Legal function rather than step into established structures.
• A direct reporting line to the VP Finance & Legal and regular exposure to the Executive Management Team.
• A fully remote setup within Austria or the option to work from our modern Salzburg office.
• A broad and diverse range of legal topics instead of being limited to one area of specialization.
• International exposure through our group entities across Europe and North America.
• The opportunity to shape legal processes, contract standards and tools from the beginning and bring your own ideas to the table.
• Flexible working hours and an environment with a high level of ownership.
