Your impact

As a Junior Legal Counsel, you will mainly focus on commercial contracting and day-to-day legal work. You will report to the Commercial Counsel Lead and be part of Mollie’s wider Legal Team. You will play a crucial role in professionalising our business foundation and supporting Mollie’s sustainable growth across Europe. Working cross-functionally from our Amsterdam HQ, you will manage your own projects, drive product launches, partnerships, and expansion. Together with your team members, you will also work on larger firm-wide projects. You will act as a sound stakeholder manager, analysing business needs to create pragmatic solutions that help us become the most loved financial service provider in Europe.

What you’ll ship

  • Commercial Contracting: Launch new products, payment methods and commercial deals. You are a key player in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating agreements with customers, partners, and suppliers.

  • Expansion: Contribute to Mollie’s expansion throughout Europe with a focus on product, commercial deals and new licenses (if needed).

  • Dispute Resolution: Manage disputes and claims from merchants and suppliers, collaborating with external counsel when necessary to resolve issues effectively.

  • Legal Operations & Scale: Support the development of legal operations to increase the efficiency and scalability of our commercial legal support.

  • Advisory & Governance: Advise the business on a variety of legal topics: from corporate housekeeping and IP protection to financial regulatory requirements and handling fraudsters, and deal with external authorities

  • Internal Enablement: Empower the business by providing internal training on legal aspects to enhance professionalism across the organization.

What you’ll bring

  • Experience & Education: An advanced law degree from a European University with 2–4 years of relevant experience at a top-tier law firm or in-house department.

  • Contracting Expertise: A passion for drafting and negotiating complex contracts, combined with a pragmatic, commercial approach to solving business needs.

  • Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to work cross-functionally and win people over. A big plus if you also speak a second European language with business proficiency.

  • Adaptability: The flexibility to prioritize in a fast-paced, international environment, balancing a high degree of accountability with an eye for detail.

  • Proactive Mindset: An enthusiastic, resourceful approach with a willingness to jump in and do whatever needs to be done to drive change.

  • Industry Knowledge (Nice to have): Familiarity with payment or financial services industries, particularly within high-growth or regulated companies.
