Legal Counsel Marketing

Are you ready to bring your legal expertise to global marketing projects and help shape the agreements, frameworks, and guidance that keep bold ideas moving?

As Legal Counsel Marketing, you’ll act as a trusted legal business partner for marketing, media, and digital technology teams at Red Bull. Based in Elsbethen, you’ll advise on international marketing projects, support contract drafting and negotiations, and help business teams navigate copyright, contract, marketing, and data privacy law with confidence.

In this role, you’ll work closely with colleagues across Legal MMDT, Global Marketing, the Regions legal team, and external partners. Your expertise will help enable all sorts of marketing initiatives while ensuring legal compliance and practical solutions.

LEGAL BUSINESS PARTNER FOR MARKETING

You’ll advise and support internal clients on legal matters related to global marketing activities, including event sponsorship agreements, talent agreements, terms of participation, event agency agreements, licence agreements, letters of intent, independent contractor agreements, participant disclaimers, etc.

CONTRACT DRAFTING AND NEGOTIATION

You’ll draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial and marketing-related agreements in English, and ideally also in German. Your work will help business teams move projects forward while protecting Red Bull’s legal and commercial interests.
