Junior Legal Counsel (Privacy)

This is what you tell people at parties πŸ‘‹

“At Sendcloud, we build Europe’s leading shipping automation platform — helping over 25,000 e-commerce businesses grow. I work in the in-house Legal team, supporting privacy, contracts, and compliance across the company. It’s a fast-growing SaaS environment where I can learn quickly, work with different teams, and have real impact from day one.”

What you will do in this role 🧐

We’re looking for a curious and hands-on Junior Legal Counsel to strengthen our Legal team. If you have experience with EU privacy law, enjoy reviewing contracts, and want to grow in a friendly SaaS scale-up — this role will be a great fit.

You’ll support privacy compliance and commercial contracting while learning from senior legal colleagues. We don’t expect you to know everything — we’ll help you grow into it.

You’ll be involved in:

  • Driving our privacy & GDPR program → DPAs, DPIAs, privacy-by-design, documentation & tooling (this will be your main focus)

  • Reviewing and drafting commercial agreements such as NDAs, vendor contracts, standard partnership terms

  • Providing practical advice on privacy, compliance, and commercial topics

  • Working with the Head of Legal and Senior Legal Counsel on escalations and day-to-day matters

  • Supporting contract management processes and legal tooling implementation

Our perfect match πŸ’—

  • Master’s degree (LL.M.) in Law — preferably with a focus on privacy or commercial law

  • 2+ years of experience in privacy law (in-house or law firm) and the ambition to specialize further (please note: for this role internships are not considered fulltime working experience)

  • Understanding of EU privacy law (GDPR), Dutch privacy law (AVG), and the ePrivacy Directive

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

  • A proactive, solution-oriented mindset — someone who learns fast and takes ownership

Nice to have ✨

  • CIPP/E certification

  • Experience with commercial contracting

  • Experience in eCommerce, SaaS/tech, or fast-paced scale-ups

  • Interest in deepening privacy expertise over time

  • Fluency in English (Dutch is a plus)
