Legal Affairs is a trusted partner to the business, providing comprehensive end to end legal support across the organization, from day-to-day advisory to complex strategic initiatives. Our team drafts, reviews, and negotiates a wide range of commercial and other agreements, ensures compliance with applicable laws and internal policies, and proactively manages legal risk through clear and practical guidance. We also support corporate governance processes and contribute to solutions that enable business growth while protecting the company’s interests.
We are currently looking to strengthen our team with two roles:
- Legal Counsel – Commercial Contracts
- Legal Counsel – Commercial and Sourcing Contracts
The Commercial Contracts Counsel will focus exclusively on supporting the company’s sales activities and therefore requires a strong and proven background in sales related legal support.
The Commercial and Sourcing Contracts Counsel will provide legal support for both sales and procurement activities across the business and therefore requires versatility across the full contract lifecycle.
For both positions, we are seeking candidates with demonstrated expertise, hands on experience, and a strong interest in commercial contracts related to the sale or procurement of technology solutions, software, IT services, and communication infrastructure.
In these roles, you will provide legal support for business activities in Croatia and international markets, covering the entire project lifecycle – from project preparation, through drafting and negotiating contracts, to delivering ongoing legal guidance throughout contract execution.

- Lead contract negotiations in line with company policies, internal directives and relevant legislation
- Advise and guide internal stakeholders on contractual, regulatory and other legal matters
- Provide additional legal support as needed to help achieve ENT business objectives and operational requirements
- The Legal Counsel, who will also support sourcing-related activities, will provide legal assistance across all company procurement matters, including the acquisition of goods and services required for internal operations as well as acquisition of items purchased for resale or for incorporation into larger-scale projects
