General Counsel (m/f/d) - #2630770

The role

We are looking for a hands-on legal professional to build and lead the legal function for an international robotics startup, with a strong operational footprint in Munich, Germany and group headquarters in Limassol, Cyprus.

Key Responsibilities:

• Establish and oversee the group’s legal framework across all entities (German operating company, Cyprus holding and operating company, and future jurisdictions).
• Build scalable legal systems from 0→1 and from 1→10, ensuring structure, clarity, and consistency across the group.
• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts, NDAs, partnership and licensing agreements, and supplier terms.
• Oversee regulatory matters, including EU AI Act, EU Machinery Regulation / CE marking, product compliance, GDPR, and other applicable EU and German requirements (with external specialists where needed).
• Support trade compliance and export-control obligations as the robotics platform scales across Europe and potentially internationally.
• Oversee IP matters together with external counsel: patents, trademarks, copyright, and technology licensing.
• Contribute to international structuring, investment rounds, and due-diligence preparation.
• Assist in intercompany arrangements together with finance teams.
• Liaise with regulators, notaries, and other authorities when required.
• Develop internal legal policies, templates, and approval workflows to streamline operations.
• Support founders in strategic and operational decisions with legal insight and risk assessment.
• Coordinate proactively with external advisors (Germany, Cyprus, EU) to minimize risks and accelerate execution.

Your profile

We seek a legal professional who values structure, diligence, and sound judgment, and who enjoys providing strategic legal guidance in a fast-growing, dynamic organisation.

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in legal or corporate law roles, with strong exposure to German corporate and commercial law.
• Core Skills: Experience with international group structures; familiarity with Cyprus/EU cross- border setups is a plus. Solid understanding of EU regulatory frameworks relevant to robotics, AI, and hardware products. Excellent English drafting and communication skills; German fluency required. Experience in top-tier law firms or in-house roles in tech/industrial companies is an advantage.
• Mindset: You bring structured thinking, a methodical approach to problem-solving, and a proactive, curious, hands-on attitude; a true “fire in the eyes” when tackling challenges.

About Us

We are building a global leader in physical AI, anchored in Europe’s strongest robotics heritage. Founded by entrepreneurs with backgrounds in scaling digital products and advanced robotics, the team is bolstered by senior leadership from top-tier AI research labs and industrial tech companies.

Driven by a mission to create versatile and trustworthy embodied AI for physical labor, We fuse deep engineering mastery in AI and mechatronics with a rapid-execution culture. We are addressing the labor shortage by closing the gap to production-grade deployment. This means building the trusted alternative: robots that are safe, secure, and engineered to automotive standards of scale and durability.

Well-capitalized and operating in semi-stealth, we are now assembling our core team.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all builders.
