Junior Legal Counsel (Privacy)

📍 Eindhoven (Hybrid – 3 days/week onsite) | Full-time

“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.”

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 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

• 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

• 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)
