Legal Counsel - M&A and Corporate (m/f/d)

Join Voyfai, a fast-growing Series A startup shaping the future of logistics and technology across Europe.

Headquartered in Berlin, we operate at the centre of a broader group of companies active across several European markets.

This is a unique opportunity to work directly with our Co-Founders from day one, drive meaningful impact and grow within a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Whether you're shaping how we run the company, leading strategic initiatives or building new organisational rhythms from scratch, your contributions will directly influence the success of Voyfai and the companies we support. If you're passionate about building from scratch and excited to be part of a company on the rise, we'd love to hear from you.

Your Role

As Voyfai's founding Legal Counsel - M&A & Corporate (m/f/d), you will build and own the legal function from the ground up. Reporting directly to our Co-Founders, you will be the senior legal voice across our group companies and the entities we operate across Europe, owning M&A deal execution, group structuring, commercial contracts, and employment matters. You will decide what gets handled in-house, lead external counsel where needed, and build the infrastructure that scales with us.

What You Will Do

• Lead M&A deal execution end-to-end: diligence, SPA/SHA/NDA drafting and negotiation, disclosure, signing and completion, as the primary deal lawyer

• Own the legal framework governing our group company structures across multiple European jurisdictions, maintaining standard templates and holding the line as individual deals are negotiated

• Act as a true commercial partner to the business, translating legal risk into clear business language and enabling decisions rather than blocking them

• Cover commercial, employment, and data/AI matters across the group with genuine breadth; you do the work, not just route it out

• Drive AI and legal tech adoption across the function, and build the templates, playbooks, and precedent bank that scale legal in-house over time

What You Bring

• 5+ years of legal experience: 2-3 years at a firm with a strong corporate, M&A, or PE practice, followed by in-house experience at a roll-up, high-cadence acquirer, or a scale-up

• Hands-on M&A experience as a doer; has personally drafted and negotiated deals end-to-end

• Strength in SHA and joint-venture structuring, including minority protections, leaver provisions, and compulsory-transfer mechanisms

• A commercial partnership mindset; you understand the business context behind every legal question and give advice that moves things forward

• Pragmatic, comfortable making calls with limited information, and strong judgment on when to bring in external counsel

• Fluent in English and German. Candidates with Syndikusrechtsanwalt qualification or eligibility are welcome to apply

Bonus If You Have

• Logistics, freight, or supply chain exposure: regulatory, customs, or forwarder liability

• Cross-border European deal experience

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and equity options

• A dynamic, fast-paced work environment with a mission-driven team

• Flexible working arrangements (Hybrid)

• 30 days of PTO

• Regular team events and offsites

• Monthly mobility budget via Navit
