Teams Mission

Our Legal DP and AI team is dedicated to delivering high-quality and commercial advice to support the firm in building scalable investment solutions, working cross-functionally with product and client-facing teams to ensure smooth transitions for our partner clients.

Your Mission

In this role, you will drive embedding regulatory compliance across the organisation through pragmatic and considered advice, collaborating closely with the business stakeholders to ensure implementation of efficient and scalable processes. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while growing your skills in a dynamic environment.

• You are currently studying or have completed studies in a field related to data protection, AI, IT, or a combination such as IT & Law or Business & Law – we’re flexible, as long as your interest and foundation are relevant.

• You’re passionate about data protection, artificial intelligence, and fintech. You're eager to learn and excited about helping shape the future of investing to make it more accessible.

• You thrive in cross-functional teams and enjoy working collaboratively towards shared goals.

• You're able to manage multiple tasks efficiently and adapt quickly to new challenges.

• You have relevant previous experience – internships or other working student roles count.

• You have excellent verbal and written communication skills in both English and German (C1-C2).

• You’re available for at least 4 months and are based in Berlin.

• We're working on solving a hard problem: fixing the European securities financial infrastructure that empowers more people to be able to invest. You have the opportunity to contribute to this change.

• We take hiring seriously with a strong focus on keeping a high bar when interviewing (equally important is that we hire decent people, who are passionate about their craft and helping us achieve our shared mission).

• While we're not quite fully-remote, we are committed to being a flexible employer, as we understand you don't have to be in the office to do your best work.

• We live a culture of empowerment, trust (that we hire the best people and get out of their way) and openness (there's a greater advantage in sharing information than keeping it to ourselves).
