## Job description

Why voize? Because we’re more than just a job! At voize, we believe the greatest gift to frontline workers is time - time to care, connect, and be present. Today, that time is lost to busywork and complex systems that pull them away from what matters most: people. Our vision is to change that by building AI companions that seamlessly take over digital workflows. We don’t replace humans with technology - we amplify their impact. Our mission is backed with a $50M Series A funding led by Balderton Capital, with support from HV Capital, Y Combinator and other leading VCs. Today, 2,000+ facilities trust voize, and over 200,000 users rely on our AI companion to ease their daily workload. As a dynamic team, we combine first-in-class technology with meaningful social impact. And now, we’re looking for you to join us on this mission!

## Your Mission

As our first Legal Counsel you own voize's legal function and report directly to the COO. You make legal fast and scalable across commercial, employment and corporate law, so Sales, People and Finance can move quickly while we protect what matters as we grow into new markets. For this role, you need to be strategic and hands-on at the same time. You set the standards for our legal function and become a trusted partner to our management team but yet work closely with the teams on their day-to-day challenges. If you love getting your hands dirty, building from scratch, and having wide impact across the entire organization, this job is for you.

Your Daily Business - No two days are alike

- Build voize’s legal function from scratch and set the standard for a fast moving and modern approach to risk management
- Build playbooks, automations approval rules and self-serve flows, such as NDAs, so the team can move fast without waiting for legal
- Draft, negotiate and approve customer and partner contracts across Germany, Europe, and the US
- Advise on employment law, from contracts and policies to terminations and settlements, across our markets
- Lead the legal side of financing rounds, equity plans, new entities and board matters
- Manage external counsel and budgets, and bring recurring work in-house

Your Skillset - What you bring to the table

- A law degree with German-law competence (Volljurist) or an international equivalent
- 7+ years in tech or SaaS commercial law, at least 2 of them in-house
- Hands-on experience negotiating liability, IP and termination terms with international customers, plus working knowledge of German employment and US corporate law
- A pragmatic, commercial mindset: you decide fast, give clear recommendations and are comfortable managing risk instead of avoiding it
- Excitement for AI legal tools and for building scalable processes rather than acting as a gatekeeper
- Fluent German and English and a short, clear communication style
- Exposure to US, UK or French law is a plus

voize is not for you if…

- You expect work to stay neatly in its lane: voize is a high-intensity environment, and we lean in. You can absolutely thrive here with a family or other commitments: you get real flexibility and trust, because we care about the outcome of your work more than the hours you log. But come ready to go for it.
- You prefer to win on your own: We win as a team and change the care industry together. If you are in it for your own personal win, you will not be happy here.
- You need to be told how to get your work done: We grow fast, and things change week to week. We need people who thrive in ambiguity, build their own roads and keep challenging the status quo.
- You would rather have a proven playbook than a blank page: There is no process refined over five years, no established vendor stack to administer and no big team standing by. You will build it.

Growing together - what you can expect at voize

- We are a fast-growing startup, that means you will tackle challenges, grow quickly, and make a real impact, giving frontline workers more time for people
- Become a co-creator of our success with stock options
- We foster an open, collaborative culture with regular team events, whether you work from our Berlin office or remotely across Germany
- Generous perks: 30 vacation days plus your birthday off, Germany Transport Ticket, Urban Sports Club, regular company off-sites, and access to learning platforms such as Blinkist and Audible, plus free language courses
- You decide when you work best, that means flexible working hours and a good hybrid set-up.

Ready to talk? Apply now! We look forward to your application and can’t wait to meet you - no matter who you are or what background you have!

- **Mission or purpose statement**: “Give time back to those who care” – eliminate administrative burden so nurses can focus on people, not paperwork.

## Products & Services
- **[AI Companion for Nurses]**: A voice-based AI solution that runs locally on smartphones (no constant internet connection required).

- **Language & dialect support** – understands complex medical language, regional dialects, and non-native speakers, empowering diverse care teams.
- **Deep EHR integration** – bi-directional sync with all major EHRs for skilled nursing and long-term care, fitting naturally into existing workflows.

## Strategic Focus
- **European expansion and US market entry** – the $50M Series A will accelerate geographic growth and product development.

- **Work policy**: Flexible work arrangements and remote-friendly policies – work from the Berlin office or from home, with the option to work from different EU countries.
- **Perks**: 30 vacation days + birthday off, Urban Sports Club membership, and a team that prioritizes connection and celebration alongside meaningful work.
