About the Position

Legal Counsel (Corporate & Intra-Group)

Limassol, Cyprus; Paphos, Cyprus; Warsaw, Poland

You are an experienced medior legal professional who thrives on an international stage but isn't afraid to be fully hands-on. You know how to navigate complex global corporate structures, cross-border transactions, and intra-group frameworks across multiple continents. While your daily scope spans an international portfolio, you also bring strong, localized subject-matter expertise in either Polish or Cypriot corporate law to anchor our legal operations in these key regions.

Responsibilities

As JetBrains expands internationally, we need an adaptable legal counsel to step into our complex global architecture, navigate our fluid tech environment, and help us (re)build our cross-border frameworks and intra-group mechanisms into clear, scalable structures. In this broad role, you will have ownership of a diverse international entity portfolio and collaborate with global cross-functional teams.

Day to day, you will:

• Manage and coordinate international corporate legal workstreams, including entity incorporations, reorganizations, capital contributions, cross-border financing, and liquidations.
• Execute ongoing corporate maintenance and legal administration for group companies across various EU and non-EU jurisdictions.
• Draft, review, and maintain the global intra-group contractual framework.
• Act as the internal subject-matter expert for Polish or Cypriot corporate law.
• Coordinate with internal tax, finance, treasury, and HR teams.
• Research, review, and synthesize legal advice from networks of external counsel around the world.
• Contribute to our legal department’s focus on efficiency by integrating legal tech, automation, and AI workflows into our global document processes.

• In your first 6 months: Independently drive more international corporate projects, such as cross-border reorganizations or structural updates.
• Over time: Serve as a key player in the corporate team in JetBrains' international architecture, successfully supporting and working on multi-jurisdictional legal workflows and projects independently.
