About Assai
Assai is an enthusiastic group of IT-professionals dedicated to the development and maintenance of software applications in Oracle and Java environments. They have developed a successful Document Control and Management System called Assai, which is designed to support complex engineering and construction projects in industries including energy, oil and gas, construction and infrastructure.

With 100 eager professionals globally, Assai operates from its headquarters in Culemborg, the Netherlands, with additional teams in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and growing global offices in Malaysia, India, America and the UAE. Recently, Assai acquired Viewport, an Amsterdam-based AI-driven software company specialized in consolidating technical data within organizations. This acquisition has enhanced Assai’s product offerings by integrating advanced search tools and data consistency solutions.
Assai has a friendly and diverse group of professionals, representing over 20+ different nationalities. This diversity, combined with an immense drive and positive energy contributes to Assai’s strength. We too felt the positive energy when meeting up at the office in Culemborg! Only one year ago, we recruited Assai’s first Head of Legal. To support their rapid growth, we are now seeking an enthusiastic legal counsel to strengthen Assai’s Legal team.
What will you do?
The Legal Counsel will closely work with the Head of Legal and the Sales team, while also collaborating with other teams (HR, Finance, Procurement, Infrastructure & Security, Implementation, Development). As Assai’s business continues to grow, you will encounter a diverse range of challenges. If you thrive in an environment with fast decision-making processes, a high level of variety, swift alignments, and direct feedback loops in an agile setting, this could represent an ideal next step in your career. In this role, you will report directly to the Head of Legal, who will provide guidance and support to facilitate your development.
Your primary focus will be commercial contracts, but you may also be involved in employment law, corporate law, privacy law, and dispute resolution matters, as well as project-based legal work, including work stemming from the integration of Viewport.
What do you bring?
You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and bring a business-minded, pragmatic, and solution-oriented approach to your work. You are proactive, structured, results-driven, and you are eager to learn and take ownership of your responsibilities. With advanced communication skills in both Dutch and English – spoken and written – you are equally comfortable collaborating in a team, or taking the initiative and working independently. You remain flexible and responsive to business needs and priorities. And, of course, a good sense of humor is always appreciated.
In addition, the legal counsel we are seeking has:
• 6-9 years of relevant work experience as an in-house legal counsel in an international company, or as a lawyer at an international law firm;
• Expertise in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts (e.g. SaaS agreements, SLAs, partnership agreements, reseller agreements, confidentiality agreements);
• Experience in a technology development company is considered a major plus!
• Availability for 4-5 days per week , with flexibility for remote work, depending on personal circumstances.
What Assai offers
• Market-competitive salary, based on experience;
• Pension plan with Assai contributing two-thirds of the total cost;
• 25 vacation days (based on fulltime employment);
• Bonus;
• Commuting allowance, or public transportation subscription;
• Company-provided laptop;
• A work environment that values personal time, supporting a healthy work-life balance.
