Ready to make a paws-itive impact in the pet world? 🐾

Join Lassie, the InsurTech company taking the Swedish, German, and French pet markets by storm!

Our Legal & Compliance team supports all of them, and we need a sharp, motivated working student to help us keep up with the growing demand for clear, practical legal guidance.

This is a great opportunity to join a high-performing team, take ownership end-to-end, and shape how we build as we scale.

📍 Location: Berlin (Onsite)
Please note that we will not accept any applications outside Germany. You should be able to commute to the office when required.

Tasks

This position reports directly to our Legal Counsel and offers hands-on experience across a broad range of legal topics in a fast-growing, regulated startup environment. You will work closely with teams across the business, supporting areas such as Operations, answering real questions about insurance contracts, policy terms, and customer-facing legal issues every day. On top of that, you'll support Marketing, People, and other teams on compliance and commercial legal topics.

From day one, you'll take ownership of tasks and contribute to real business challenges, while building a strong understanding of how Legal enables a scaling company.

In this role, you will:

• Act as a reliable go-to within the Legal & Compliance team for daily operational tasks such as research, template management, and internal guidance
• Support our Operations team on day-to-day legal questions - this includes advising Claims and Customer Success on topics such as insurance contract interpretation, policy coverage questions, customer complaints, and general contractual disputes
• Conduct structured legal research on a variety of topics (e.g. insurance law & regulation, contract law, data protection, consumer protection) and translate findings into clear, practical guidance
• Draft, review, and update commercial contracts, internal policies, and compliance documentation
• Maintain and improve our legal templates, playbooks, and internal knowledge base, helping us build scalable legal processes
• Collaborate cross-functionally with teams across the business to support legally sound decision-making in a fast-paced environment

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in Law, Business Law, Compliance, or a related field
• Genuine interest in working in a fast-growing startup environment, ideally with some exposure to regulated industries (insurance, fintech, or similar)
• Basic understanding of legal topics such as contract law, data protection (e.g. GDPR), or consumer protection is a plus
• Structured, detail-oriented, and reliable - you deliver quality work, even when things move fast
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to break down complex legal questions into clear, practical outcomes
• Hands-on mentality with a proactive approach and willingness to take ownership of tasks early on
• You can explain legal topics in a way that non-lawyers understand and enjoy working directly with business stakeholders
• High level of integrity and ability to handle confidential information responsibly
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in German and English
• Confident use of Google Workspace
• Interest in using AI tools for research and structuring work

Benefits

• A flexible, dynamic, and welcoming company culture
• A collaborative, international working environment
• Working on a unique product that helps pets live longer, healthier lives
• Regular social events and team-building activities
• Chance to directly shape Lassie’s journey as we grow across Europe
