In-House Legal Counsel

Full-time

Impossible Cloud

ABOUT US:

Impossible Cloud is a fast-growing B2B cloud company headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. We have built a cloud object storage solution comparable to AWS S3, purpose-built and optimised for AI and compute workloads. Our commercial hyper-growth speaks for itself, powered by our channel-first go-to-market strategy.

We are now expanding beyond storage: we are building a high-performance compute platform, offering an end-to-end solution from GPU infrastructure to full GPU platform software stack. In doing so, we are redefining the cloud ecosystem by bridging the gap between decentralised infrastructure (DePIN), mainstream B2B cloud use cases, and AI applications.

Find out more about us [here](0eHtyQjIS/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=5000&slide=id.g3d6a3a5c4b80_0).

Please note that we can only consider candidates who have a valid, unrestricted work permit for the EU. As an In-House Legal Counsel / Corporate Lawyer – Full-time in Hamburg , you will report directly to the management and advise on all legal matters concerning Impossible Cloud GmbH. The role is broad in scope and includes, among others, M&A, venture capital, commercial law, as well as employment law and general contract law. WHAT YOU WILL DO:
  • Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts with enterprise customers, resellers, and technology partners, balancing deal speed with risk exposure.
  • Advise on venture capital transactions, including term sheets, financing round documentation, and cap table matters, working closely with founders and external counsel.
  • Own employment law matters across the full lifecycle, from contracts and policies to terminations and works council topics under German law.
  • Build and maintain scalable contract templates, playbooks, and internal legal processes that reduce turnaround time as deal volume grows.
  • Advise founders and department leads directly on legal risk in day-to-day commercial decisions, translating complex legal questions into clear business guidance.
WHAT YOU BRING:
  • Professional experience in commercial and corporate law, gained in-house or at a law firm, with direct exposure to contract negotiation, venture capital, or M&A transactions.
  • A track record of handling German employment law matters independently, from drafting contracts to advising on terminations and restructurings.
  • Successfully completed First State Examination (Erstes Staatsexamen) with strong marks, or equivalent qualification to practice law in Germany.
  • Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy in a fast-moving environment, making sound judgment calls without waiting for a large legal department to weigh in.
  • AI-native working style, using AI tools to draft, review, and research faster. This is a baseline expectation at Impossible Cloud, not a differentiator.
  • Professional proficiency in German and English, since you will work across contracts, negotiations, and internal advice in both languages.
WHAT WE OFFER:
  • Competitive salary coupled with direct engagement in your success through an enticing ESOP.
  • Clear and transparent career progression scheme inspired by the best performing organisations incl. fast track promotion opportunity for exceptional performance to support your growth ambitions.
  • Prime growth-stage company with proven revenue and a sharp edge in cloud — founded by serial entrepreneurs with multiple successful exits.
  • Experienced, passionate team working with cutting-edge cloud technology.
  • A vibrant office in a trendy location with free brain food and a canteen — plus a subsidized premium gym membership and monthly team meet-ups that bring the whole crew together!
OUR CULTURE:

We are committed to success. We embrace individuals from all backgrounds who share the goal of building a future European cloud champion, celebrated through a richly diverse team of 15+ nationalities and 10+ languages spoken.

OUR HIRING PROCESS: Apply : Submit your CV or LinkedIn profile via the application form. First response : We review every application carefully and get back to you within a few days. If your profile is a strong match, we'll invite you to an intro call via Google Meet. Get to know us : We move quickly through two to four interview steps, including a meeting with our founders.
