THE BEST WORK OF YOUR CAREER

Trade Republic is the largest savings platform in Europe - we operate in 18 countries, serving +10 million customers who trusted us with over 150B in assets. But we're striving for more.

We have a bold mission to empower everyone to build wealth with easy, safe, and free access to financial systems. You will have the opportunity to grow your career by collaborating with a team of outstanding talents and state of the art technology to build a lasting, positive future for millions.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

Legal is the heart: We are working in a highly regulated environment. Everything we do is connected to law. As the heart pumps the blood to the body, legal is pumping our business to the market. As a team, we work close together with business, management and all other stakeholders of the company. Our mission is to enable Trade Republic to provide the best service and the best product to our customers in the existing legal framework. This is an everyday challenge getting the best out of us. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Support the legal team on the improvement and automation of legal processes as well as on the management and introduction of legal tools
  • Support the legal team in creation and maintenance of contract templates
  • Support the legal team in corporate and commercial day-to-day operations
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams in the company to solve day-to-day legal questions
  • Work with the entire legal team on other ad-hoc projects and "allrounder" topics as they emerge

What We're Looking For



  • You are currently pursuing your studies with a focus on legal (state exam or business law) and have completed at least four semesters
  • You are communicative, a true team player and show a pro-active mindset
  • You have a natural eye for structuring and managing tasks - staying on top of deadlines and priorities as well as making sure nothing falls through the cracks comes effortlessly to you
  • You don't just spot problems - you enjoy finding smart, practical solutions and thinking about how things could work better. Change and optimisation motivate you
  • You have excellent verbal and written communication skills in both German and English
  • You are tech-minded and curious about how technology and efficient data management can improve (legal) processes - ideally, you bring first work experience in a start-up environment or have made first touchpoints with programming, data analytics or even API based automation
  • Based in Berlin, available 20 hours per week, with at least two semesters remaining in your studies

WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY NOW

Our culture rewards ownership, excellence, and high energy. We care deeply about outcomes and hold each other accountable - we're here to win and fix one of the largest challenges Europeans face - closing the pension gap and democratising wealth. If this gets you fired up, reach out!

We believe it's our team's varied identities and backgrounds that make us sharper and stronger. We're committed to creating an environment where everyone feels respected and has equal opportunity to thrive in their careers.

Working student essentials

What this Legal working student role in Berlin means for you — the weekly-hours rules, social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.

Weekly hours

Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.

Working student rules

Social contributions

Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.

Check your insurance

International students

Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
