Senior Legal Counsel (Dutch speaking)

TicketSwap is on a journey to become the world’s favorite platform for fans to buy and sell tickets. On this journey, we’ve already reached about 15 million users across 36 countries. Our goal is to make buying and selling second-hand tickets safe, fair and easy.

With this growth, new legal challenges arise. We need to be on top of local legislations, as well as being on top of new directives and regulations from supranational bodies (e.g. EU) and of course the Netherlands. That’s why we are on the lookout for a Senior Legal Counsel to take charge of our legal strategy, support and advise our business from a legal perspective and ensure we remain compliant, innovative, and risk-aware in a fast-paced and exciting environment.
