Description
You are an experienced medior legal professional who thrives on an international stage but isn't afraid to be fully hands-on. You know how to navigate complex global corporate structures, cross-border transactions, and intra-group frameworks across multiple continents. While your daily scope spans an international portfolio, you also bring strong, localized subject-matter expertise in either Polish or Cypriot corporate law to anchor our legal operations in these key regions.
About JetBrains
We create intelligent software development tools for developers and teams. More than 15 million users, over 300,000 companies, and 88 of the Fortune Global Top 100 rely on our products to solve real, complex problems. Our mission is simple: make development teams more productive and AI adoptable at scale.
What you’ll do
As JetBrains expands internationally, we need an adaptable legal counsel to step into our complex global architecture, navigate our fluid tech environment, and help us (re)build our cross-border frameworks and intra-group mechanisms into clear, scalable structures. In this broad role, you will have ownership of a diverse international entity portfolio and collaborate with global cross-functional teams.
You need to be a pragmatic team player who values project execution at every level - taking pride in driving cross-border projects, while staying completely comfortable executing the vital daily (administrative) corporate needs, policies, resolutions, and intercompany agreements that keep our global operations secure.
Day to day, you will:
- Manage and coordinate international corporate legal workstreams, including from time to time entity incorporations, reorganizations, capital contributions, cross-border financing, and liquidations.
- Execute ongoing corporate maintenance and legal administration for group companies across various EU and non-EU jurisdictions, handling corporate needs, approvals, resolutions, and powers of attorney.
- Draft, review, and maintain the global intra-group contractual framework, ensuring a.o. service contracts and cost-allocation agreements align with our operating model.
- Act as the internal subject-matter expert for Polish or Cypriot corporate law while simultaneously handling broader international entity portfolios.
- Coordinate with internal tax, finance, treasury, and HR teams to ensure corporate actions support global business and operational logic.
- Research, review and synthesize legal advice from networks of external counsel around the world, turning complex local regulations into clear, actionable recommendations for our internal stakeholders.
- Contribute to our legal department’s baseline focus on efficiency by proactively finding opportunities to integrate legal tech, automation, and AI workflows into our global document processes.
What you’ll bring
- A global-first mindset. You think in terms of international structures and multi-jurisdictional impacts, naturally looking at how local actions affect the global group.
- A balance of strategy and execution. You can run complex legal projects end-to-end and gladly handle the operational, hands-on administrative tasks required to complete them.
- Comfort with cross-functional work. You can navigate ambiguity, figure things out independently, and enjoy bringing order, logic, and structure to fluid environments.
- Clear, jargon-free communication. You translate dense legal realities into plain, actionable advice that cross-functional teams understand instantly.
- Strong project ownership. You take accountability for outcomes rather than just managing task lists, keeping parallel initiatives moving forward under tight deadlines and pro-actively collaborating with cross-functional teams to make it happen.
What you’ll need
- A university degree in law and legal experience (3-5 years) focused on corporate law and international intra-group frameworks, ideally gained within a multinational tech environment or international law firm.
- Proven experience working with legislative systems across multiple jurisdictions (such as the Netherlands, China, USA or UK).
- Deep, practical knowledge of either Polish or Cypriot corporate law (experience in both is a massive plus).
- Strong project management skills, with a track record of coordinating multi-stakeholder legal workstreams globally.
- Professional fluency in English. Proficiency in an additional language - either Polish or Greek.
- A strong interest or practical experience in using legal automation, AI-assisted workflows, or knowledge-management tools to optimize processes.
What success looks like
- In your first 3 months: You will map out our global entity network, master our core intra-group operating models, and build strong ties with legal, tax and finance peers. You will begin taking direct ownership of ongoing corporate maintenance for your primary jurisdictions and supporting on a global level.
- In your first 6 months: You will independently drive more international corporate projects, such as cross-border reorganizations or structural updates together with other teams. Drafting, reviewing, researching and providing all other necessary legal support to successfully conclude the project.
- Over time: You will serve as a key player in for the corporate team in JetBrains' international architecture, successfully supporting and working on multi-jurisdictional legal workflows and projects independently while actively maintaining the legal compliance of your primary jurisdictions.
Why join JetBrains?
- Strong base salary. We offer competitive pay that reflects your skills and experience.
- Flexible work schedule. Enjoy the freedom to work from home or from the office.
- Extra time off. More days to relax, recharge, and do the things you love.
- Learning and development opportunities. Access to conferences, courses, and language classes.
- Free meals and snacks. Lunch and refreshments provided to keep you fueled.
- Health and wellness. On-site gyms or sports club stipends.
- Internal events. Company-wide celebrations and team gatherings.
