Senior Legal Counsel – Corporate Governance & Compliance

At Rohlik, we move fast — across five countries, multiple legal frameworks, and a business that keeps evolving. To keep that pace safe and scalable, we need sharp corporate governance, clear compliance thinking, and legal support that enables growth rather than slows it down.

We’re looking for a Senior Legal Counsel who will own corporate governance and compliance topics across the Group, support M&A and corporate structuring, and help the business navigate complex EU regulatory areas (e-commerce, data protection, IP/IT, corporate finance) with practical, business-friendly solutions.

Why this role is exciting

• You’ll work on high-impact corporate governance matters in a fast-scaling European group.

• You’ll support M&A / investor / shareholder topics and help shape how we structure and run the Group.

• You’ll operate in a real international environment — multi-country, multi-jurisdiction, high autonomy.

• You’ll partner closely with leadership and key functions (Finance, HR, Ops, Tech) to keep the business compliant and moving.
  You’ll be trusted to solve problems independently — not just review documents.

What you’ll do

You’ll be the go-to legal expert for corporate governance and corporate law topics, with broad exposure to group-wide projects and strategic work.

• Own and manage corporate governance agenda: board materials, governance filings, corporate records, internal governance frameworks

• Provide legal support on M&A, corporate finance and investor/shareholder matters (including shareholder agreements and related documentation)

• Support intragroup structuring and corporate matters across affiliates and subsidiaries

• Advise on EU regulatory topics relevant to Rohlik’s model (e-commerce regulation, data protection, IP/IT, commercial law)

• Draft, review and negotiate a range of commercial contracts when needed

• Manage legal projects end-to-end: align stakeholders, set timelines, drive execution, coordinate external counsel

• Identify risks early, remove roadblocks, and propose solutions that work in real life — not only on paper

What we’re looking for

• Master’s degree in Law (bar exam preferred)

• 5+ years of legal experience, with strong focus on corporate governance, corporate law and M&A (international exposure is a big plus)

• Working knowledge of EU legal environment: corporate/commercial law + familiarity with finance/regulatory/e-commerce/data protection/IP/IT topics

• Strong project ownership: you deliver high-quality work on time, with minimal escalation

• Clear communicator: you can explain legal risk and options in a business-friendly way

• Confident, pragmatic and solutions-driven mindset

• Fluent Czech and Advanced English required

What’s in it for you

• This role is offered as a fixed-term contract to cover parental leave. That said, we grow fast every year — teams expand, priorities evolve, and new opportunities keep opening up — so there’s a strong chance the role will continue beyond the parental leave cover and transition into a permanent contract.

• Fair reward - You’ll get a strong fixed salary — no bonus games, no politics. Great work is rewarded clearly and fairly.

• Good food every day - You’ll enjoy a free lunch every day and fresh fruit & veggies in the office. Because good food fuels great work.

• Life, not just work - You’ll have real flexibility – three days in the office, 2 days Home Office where it suits you. And unlimited paid vacation based on trust.

• Personal growth - You’ll grow as fast as Rohlik does. Every challenge is a chance to learn and make an impact.

• Real impact - What you do here matters. You’ll see your work changing how people eat and live — from day one.

• Recognition among colleagues - Your effort won’t go unnoticed. You can recognise others (and be recognised) through peer credits to use in our internal cafeteria.

• Xtra membership - You’ll get free Xtra membership and 10% cashback on everything you buy on Rohlik.cz.

• Sport & wellbeing - You’ll stay active with company sports challenges or a subsidised Multisport card.

• A team that sticks together - You’ll work with people who move fast, support each other and celebrate wins together.

• If this sounds like you…You’re someone who takes ownership, acts fast and gets things done. Ready to bake something great with us?
