About Us
Unosecur is a comprehensive identity security platform protecting organisations against identity-related threats across multi-cloud and on-premise environments. Backed by leading investors including VentureFriends, DFF, Leo Capital, and Heartfelt, we are scaling rapidly following a $5M seed round. Our mission is to redefine how companies manage human and non-human identities at scale.
Role Overview
At Unosecur, we move fast, we think big, and we're just getting started. Yet every enterprise deal meets with the same obstacles, MSA redlines, liability caps that need negotiating and vendor due diligence processes that can quietly kill momentum if nobody owns them. As our Deal Operations & Legal Working Student, you become our first line of defence. This is a practical, hands-on role where you will own contracts, legal research, and end-to-end deal management as we scale our team across Europe and the US. You'll work directly with our founding Operations team and Founder as your work will ensure faster sale cycles, cleaner contracts, and a business that scales without legal debt dragging it back.
Who you are
You are comfortable making legal decisions and giving legal advice. You have a taste for legal research and aren't afraid to dig into the unknown until you find the answer, whether it's hiring in a new market or staying ahead of shifting legal requirements and industry standards. A variety of legal topics in a startup environment is of interest to you. You have a hunger to make an impact and hit the ground running whilst thinking. You understand the commercial reality behind every contract. You're not here to slow deals down, but to make sure we move forward on the right terms.
Key Responsibilities
* Contract Management: Be the first point of contact for everything contracts. Draft, format and proofread employment contracts, NDAs, commission agreements and amendments based on our existing templates.
* Deal Ownership: End-to-end deal management by supporting the Sales team through negotiating MSAs and SLAs and standardizing templates (NDAs, Reseller agreements) so the Sales team can close revenue-generating deals without any legal bottlenecks.
* Legal Structure: By joining us as the first legal hire at Unosecur, you get the opportunity to implement a legal structure to prepare us for the next stage of growth by setting up templates, playbooks and approval flows whilst maintaining and organising our legal documentation library and all legal templates.
* Legal Research: Research specific legal questions and summarise your findings clearly. Cover areas such as Workstudent regulations, notice periods, key employment regulations in varying markets and industry regulations.
* Finance Support: Assist with audit preparation by organising documentation and ensuring financial and legal records are accurate and audit-ready. Aid the management of the employee expense processes, reviewing submissions for policy compliance and maintaining accurate records.
Requirements
* Enrolment: Masters/PhD Student in Business Law (Rechtswissenschaften) and eligible for a working student position.
* Startup Mindset: Proactive, unfazed by speed, and fiercely independent.
* Availability: Available 20 hours per week.
* Language: At Unosecur our working language is English. As we are a German startup and due to your role responsibilities you should also have a B2 German level.
* Knowledge: Solid foundational understanding of corporate and German contract law (BGB). Some exposure to employment law (Arbeitsrecht) is a plus.
* AI Native: You use AI tools naturally to draft faster, research deeper and build workflows that stick. But you know when to slow down and read something properly. Both matter here.
* Location: Our new office is located in Hackescher Markt at the heart of Berlin. Drinks, snacks, ping-pong table and positive vibes included.
Why Join Us?
* Early stage Startup: Being the first legal hire at Unosecur, your work ensures we are able to scale smoothly, making you a cornerstone of our success.
* Real Exposure: Gain a front-row seat to the building of a category-defining identity security company and direct access and collaboration with C-Levels.
* Broad Learning: Evolve to have a true startup legal focus by adapting your corporate law experience to fit the unique needs of a startup.
* Competitive Compensation: Fair working student compensation based on experience.
* Growth Potential: You will be the sole startup law contact that sets us up for success. We don't hire placeholders, we hire to stay. We want you to be ready to fully commit to the role post studies.
