Today, we are a team of over 180 dreamers, adventurers, and world travelers, united by our passion for innovation and our belief in the power of effective communication.

We are currently looking for a talented Legal Counsel to join our MailerLite Legal team in a hybrid role based in Poznań, Poland, where Vercom’s headquarters is located.

Together, we’re building a centralized legal team to support our mission and drive success across all our products. If you’re passionate about making an impact in a dynamic environment, we’d love to have you on board! 🚀
