  • Prepare internal agreements and documents in line with corporate governance

    • WHAT YOU BRING TO OUR TEAM

    If you are excited about joining our team, here is what we are looking for in the ideal candidate:

  • A Master’s degree in law, with a soft spot on commercial law and contract law.
  • Boasting a solid 5 years of experience in a law firm and/or as inhouse lawyer
  • Fluent (orally and in writing) in German and English, any other language is certainly appreciated
  • A knack for understanding the technical and financial aspects of transactions, coupled with a sensitivity for commercially significant matters
  • Pro-active, adaptable, pragmatic and a go-to problem solver
  • Being organised, methodical and detail spotting is a superpower

    • WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU

    At Alpha Trains we have a mission: to keep our employees happy. So, we go the extra mile to make your working life more enjoyable: From fresh apples in our office fruit basket to annual company offsites, from bike leasing options so you can get to the office in style to an insurance package that gives you the peace of mind you need. Want more transparency? Attend our weekly town hall meetings. And because we are all about collaboration, we keep our hierarchies flat and friendly.

    And, last but not least, prepare to meet the most awesome, dedicated and party-ready colleagues at Alpha Trains.
