This is a 12-month maternity cover contract, hybrid with two days a week on-site. You'll step into a hands-on role with genuine ownership of individual labour law matters, acting as the go-to legal voice for HR rather than one of several sign-offs in a long chain.

Senior Legal Counsel The Opportunity If you're a Volljurist looking for a role that goes beyond contract review, this is worth a closer look.

(Senior) Manager Risk Management The Opportunity Most risk management roles keep you reporting on risks other people have already decided how to handle.

The Role You'd take ownership of developing and enhancing the group's integrated risk management system, making sure risks are caught early and assessed strategically rather than after the fact.

You'd set up and run a group-wide risk committee, from content and agenda through to following up on actions, and act as the go-to contact for functions including Internal Audit, Compliance, HSEQ, IT and Legal on anything risk-related. External risk reporting for the annual financial statement also sits with you. The Company You'd join a well-established, internationally operating industrial services group with a substantial presence across Europe, North America and the Middle East, serving process industry clients. The company offers flexible and mobile working arrangements, a company pension scheme, and a generous holiday allowance well above the standard German minimum.
