Ready to rock the future with us? At Hellmann we put our people at the heart of everything we do, because for us, relationship matters. Joining us does not just mean becoming part of a global company. It is an invitation to shape the future of the logistics industry together with us. Our Hellmann culture is based on our four values: Caring, Entrepreneurial, Forward-Thinking and Reliable. These values resonate with yours? Then become part of our FAMILY that consists of around 10.000 employees in more than 200 locations worldwide.
For the better. Together.

Our international legal team is the trusted business partner of the management, the M&A function and our Venture Networking unit. We work at the centre of Hellmann's growth agenda — corporate transactions, joint ventures, strategic partnerships and venture investments in a truly global setting.

• Lead and support cross-border M&A transactions across the full legal lifecycle — target assessment, drafting and negotiation of NDAs and LOIs, legal due diligence, SPA / APA negotiation as well as execution closing and post-merger integration
• Structure and negotiate international joint ventures and strategic partnerships, including shareholder agreements, governance frameworks and exit mechanics
• Advise on venture capital and corporate venturing activity together with our Venture Networking unit — term sheets, SAFE / convertible instruments, minority investments, follow-on rounds and portfolio governance
• Act as a sparring partner for the Management Board, the M&A team and regional leadership on corporate, governance and transactional matters — translating legal complexity into clear commercial recommendations
• Manage and instruct external counsel across multiple jurisdictions; coordinate workstreams under deal pressure and keep timelines moving
• Support corporate housekeeping for our subsidiary and JV vehicles (resolutions, capital measures, intra-group reorganisations)
• Drive selected cross-divisional strategic projects where legal structuring is a key value driver

• Prior experience in a leading international or major full-service law firm in M&A, corporate or transactional practice is a must — your first professional seasoning has to come from a top-tier professional environment. We expect a minimum of 5 years' relevant post-qualification experience overall, with a meaningful share of it on the sell-side or buy-side of real transactions
• Demonstrable deal sheet across cross-border M&A, joint ventures and / or venture capital — transactions are in your DNA, not an occasional file
• Fully qualified lawyer in a European member state or equivalent international qualification; LL.M. or comparable international exposure an advantage
• Comfortable operating across multiple jurisdictions, legal systems and cultures; English at full negotiating fluency, German and / or further languages a strong plus
• Strong commercial instinct — you read a term sheet for risk and for value, not just for legal form. Calm under deal pressure, hands-on, organised, and able to drive multiple workstreams in parallel
• Pragmatic and solution-oriented — comfortable in direct dialogue with the Management Board, founders, sellers, financial advisors and external counsel
• Genuine curiosity and hands-on skillset in legal tech and AI — you actively use modern tools (contract analytics, AI-assisted drafting and review, deal-room and matter-management platforms) to work faster and sharper, and you see emerging technologies as a lever for the legal function rather than a threat
• Integrity, discretion and a genuine appetite for the deal — you enjoy being where decisions are made

• Hellmann Spirit: Culture focusing on people and relationships, networking with other students within the company
• Work-life integration: Balancing work with your studies through flexible working hours and remote working
• Health & wellbeing: Company fitness via Hansefit, mobile massage services, and a varied menu with new dishes every day in our canteen
• Professional & personal development: Targeted onboarding, regular feedback and an open culture of learning from mistakes, personal support from the department, digital further education and training opportunities in our “LearningHub”
• Modern equipment: Your own laptop, state-of-the-art office equipment

Inclusion and social diversity are firmly anchored values in our corporate culture. Regardless of gender, age, any disabilities, religion, ethnic origin or sexual identity: We are looking forward to meeting you!
