How will you make an impact in this role?
As a classic in-house lawyer, you will independently advise the various business units (card issuance, acquiring, travel & lifestyle services) of American Express in Austria in day-to-day operations. At the same time, you will work closely with your team colleagues in Germany and support them in providing legal advice on American Express' business in Germany as well as in providing legal support for international projects affecting Austria and/or Germany. You will independently review, draft and negotiate contracts and general terms and conditions with your internal clients, handle complaints and (out-of-court) legal disputes (if necessary, with the assistance of external lawyers). In addition, you will observe legislation and case law and coordinate the necessary adjustments to internal standards and processes. If required, you will work closely with Governance Affairs to represent American Express' interests in legislative processes.
