Junior Legal Counsel

Aim high, go beyond!

At Open Cosmos, we’re on a mission to make space accessible for everyone. We design, build and operate satellites that help tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges — from climate monitoring to connectivity.

We’re scaling rapidly across Europe and beyond, and with that growth comes increasing complexity, opportunity, and ambition. As a result we are now looking for a Junior Legal Counsel to join our team and support the commercial and operational activity behind our missions.

This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys working close to the business, taking ownership of their work, and contributing to innovative space projects in a fast-growing international company.

The focus of the role is day-to-day commercial legal work, while also contributing to more complex and innovative projects in the space sector.

Working closely with the General Counsel, you’ll manage your own matters end-to-end, collaborating with teams across the business to deliver practical, commercially focused legal advice.

You’ll Be:

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements, including NDAs, procurement contracts and customer agreements

• Supporting commercial transactions with appropriate supervision

• Providing legal support on complex space-related projects and transactions

• Managing assigned legal matters independently while escalating risks when needed

• Working closely with teams across the business — including Revenue, Procurement and Supply Chain — to provide pragmatic legal advice

• Translating legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non-legal stakeholders

This role can be based in either Spain or the UK.

To apply, you must have the legal right to work in your chosen location.

• Work at the cutting edge of space technology with customers around the globe.

• A mission-driven company making space accessible to help solve real-world challenges.

• A diverse, ambitious, and supportive team.
