SHAPE THE FUTURE OF PRIVACY WITH USERCENTRICS
​Usercentrics is a global leader in data privacy and privacy-led marketing solutions. We believe there is no need for a trade-off between growth and privacy compliance. Our vision is to unlock the potential of data privacy to empower a thriving digital ecosystem. We work with companies to create a healthy balance between data-driven business and privacy-led marketing for every size of enterprise. Our customers build trust with their users through improved transparency and control to drastically improve marketing and monetization, while achieving full privacy compliance.

We’re looking for a motivated Legal Student Assistant for max. 20 hours/week to support our dynamic and international Legal team located in Berlin, Munich and Lisbon. This role is based in Copenhagen alongside our CPO. This position is particularly well suited for students from Copenhagen Business School (CBS), especially those studying Business Administration (bus adm) and Commercial Law (HA(jur.)) or Commercial Law (cand.merc.jur.), who want to complement their academic training with hands-on legal experience in a leading international SaaS and Legal Tech company.

As a working student in our Legal team, you will not just observe - you will actively contribute. You’ll work on real legal matters, support cross-border projects, and gain exposure to how legal, commercial, and technical considerations come together in a fast-scaling international tech company. This includes hands-on exposure to how we use AI in Legal operations, how AI is applied across the wider company, and how legal and compliance teams assess and enable AI-driven products and customer solutions.

This is a unique opportunity to build practical experience that is directly relevant to a future career in law, compliance, or tech-driven business environments - including developing an early understanding of AI governance, risk assessments, and the role of legal teams in enabling responsible innovation.

We offer flexible working hours that fit around your studies, a collaborative international environment, and the chance to build a strong professional profile early on - including experience that stands out on your CV well beyond graduation.

  • Work on legal matters with customer and partner impact: Take ownership of customer inquiries related to data protection, GDPR, and compliance, and contribute to real case handling in a global SaaS environment.

  • Manage GDPR processes: Independently process Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) and support the continuous improvement of our GDPR workflows
  • Contribute to contract management: Review, organize, and help evolve general terms & conditions, customer agreements, and internal contract templates.
  • Build and improve legal frameworks: Develop, implement, and maintain legal templates, checklists, and processes that enable scalable and compliant operations across the company.
  • Apply law in a Legal Tech context: Gain hands-on exposure to how legal requirements are translated into scalable software solutions, including the practical use of AI in legal and compliance processes.
  • Conduct legal research with impact: Track developments in IT law, data protection, and regulatory trends, and translate findings into actionable guidance for the business.
  • Create internal guidance & training materials: Help design practical guidelines, risk assessments, and compliance resources used across teams.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with Product, Security, Commercial, and Engineering teams to ensure legal compliance is embedded into products and processes from day one.
  • Legal Operations, Tooling & Automation: Work with a modern legal tech stack (e.g. Ironclad, Lexology Pro, Vanta, Mine OS, internal automation tools) and gain practical experience in how Legal teams use technology to scale efficiently in a global SaaS company.
