Legal Counsel (Dutch speaking)

Joining Hypersolid as a Legal Counsel means stepping into a dynamic, forward-thinking environment where law meets innovation. You will play a central role in supporting our operations across the EMEA and US regions, working closely with the Legal Director and directly with the business.

You’ll work full-time and at least twice weekly from our Alkmaar office and once per week from our Amsterdam office.

Your core responsibilities will involve drafting, reviewing, and negotiating various commercial contracts, particularly within IT, such as software licensing, development agreements, hosting contracts, and master service agreements. You’ll also advise on procurement and ensure our products and services comply with evolving privacy laws and AI regulations.

Beyond commercial contracting, you’ll collaborate with teams across the business—product, HR, marketing, and partnerships—offering clear, pragmatic legal guidance that supports innovation while managing risk. You’ll have the freedom and responsibility to own legal matters, shaping how we grow compliantly and sustainably.

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements with clients, vendors, and strategic partners.
• Support procurement processes by reviewing related contracts and advising stakeholders.
• Guide compliance efforts related to privacy regulations (e.g. GDPR) and AI legislation (e.g. The EU AI Act).
• Advise on influencer sponsorship agreements and advertising partnerships.
• Provide first-line support on employment matters, coordinating with HR and external labor law counsel.
• Advise on legal considerations in product development, joint ventures, and technology collaborations.

You’re confident navigating international legal landscapes, juggling multiple priorities, and translating complex legal language into actionable advice. You value clear communication, enjoy solving novel challenges, and bring a practical, solution-oriented approach to your work.
