Careers
Legal Tech + Operations
Designing the future of
Tax + Legal.
From the first analysis to the go-live, at YPOG, you can show what you've got. With us, you'll develop legal tech solutions that are just as smart and innovative as the people we advise. In other words, real game changers.
We want to take legal and tax advice to a new level with good ideas and digital solutions. To do this, we need people like you who are just as enthusiastic about technological change as they are about legal challenges.
We offer you optimal development conditions. By this we mean not only the IT equipment in our offices, but above all short decision-making paths, plenty of creative freedom and the opportunity to work with thought leaders in the industry.
Your project is our project. Your challenge is our challenge.
Hariolf is your contact for Legal Tech + Operations. He is our CEO and is responsible for the LegalTech unit YSolutions, which provides software-based legal services. He is also Director of the Center on the Legal Profession at Bucerius Law School and was one of the early players in the German LegalTech market. In 2017, he founded "Relnvent Law" in Frankfurt, the first Legal Innovation Hub, was co-founder and founding president of the European Legal Technology Association (ELTA) and is on the advisory board of recode.law.
Working at YPOG
Hybrid Working
Our IT infrastructure allows you to work flexibly from home or in one of our YPOG offices. We are also happy to provide you with a “workation” as part of our policy.
It is important to us to combine flexibility with close personal interaction. That's why we meet regularly in the office while also having developed hybrid communication formats. For example, the weekly "12 mins. us" with information about the respective location, the monthly cross-location "Behind the Scenes" and, of course, the daily exchange with your team.
For us, hybrid working also means that our teams work together across locations and that team members can have their home base in different offices.
Plenty of Creative Freedom
Quick and competent decisions are key to our success. That's why we give you a lot of creative freedom. We trust that, together with your colleagues, you know best what is important for your area.
We also ensure short coordination and decision-making paths across teams so that you always have the feeling that you can make a difference and your initiatives are not being held back.
Lean Digital Processes
Whether onboarding, document processing or e-learning - at YPOG we have organized our workflows quickly and efficiently. Thanks to our fully digital cloud infrastructure and the constant improvement of our processes, we have been able to eliminate most time-wasters from our day-to-day work. That means you have more time for the important things.
Physical & Mental Health
Your health is very important to YPOG. For your mental wellbeing, we work with OpenUp. Through OpenUp, you have unlimited one-on-one access to coaching and mindfulness consultations with psychologists and other mental health resources.
For a workout-life balance, we cooperate with the Urban Sports Club, and as a YPOGee you get your membership significantly cheaper. We also offer yoga classes and back training, work with running coaches, provide fresh fruit and vegetables, and offer you the opportunity to lease a work bike. We have equipped our offices with the latest ergonomic chairs and height-adjustable desks.
Your Development at YPOG
Onboarding
When you join YPOG, we want to make your first few months as easy as possible. Your team will accompany your start and help you with all organizational and technical questions. Of course, all the other YPOGees will also be happy to help you.
A learning management system, wikis, process descriptions, assistance for handling mandates, and various specialist topics for reference will help you to familiarize yourself and ensure that you get off to a good start with us.
Feedback + Development Meetings
Regular development meetings with your team lead or a partner will show you transparently where you stand in your development and what we expect from you.
With us, feedback doesn't just go in one direction. We regularly ask you (as with all other colleagues) how you are doing with us, whether you are developing optimally, or what we can do better.
Learning at YPOG
At YPOG, we believe in lifelong learning. We will support you at every stage of your career in a way that really helps you progress. Because we are convinced that we can only remain successful if we don't rest on our laurels, but continue to develop.
We support your professional development through the programs offered by our internal YBrains Academy. Together with Bucerius Law School, we have developed various courses specifically for business professionals, for example in the areas of time management, project management, and communication. If you are interested in (legal) tech topics, you can take part in our tech readiness training courses. For example, you will learn the basics of digital design, programming, or the management of digital projects.
If required, YPOG will of course also support external training courses that will take you to the next level: We provide financial support for seminars and training courses and allow time off work for participation and preparation.
Further benefits
It is important to us that you feel comfortable at YPOG and have everything you need to perform well. That's why we have various benefits for you and your colleagues and regularly add to this offer.
With a notebook, two monitors in the office, a monitor for working from home, a company cell phone, and a tablet if required, our hardware setup leaves nothing to be desired.
Top furnishings, barrier-free access, great surroundings, and of course, nice colleagues - you can feel at home in our offices.
Balancing family and work isn’t always easy; our cooperation with “Heynanny” to find childcare providers and valuable information on parenthood can help you with this balance. We also hold regular Roundtables for parents at our locations to share best practices or simply recharge your batteries, and our well-equipped parent-child room is regularly used by children and their parents.
We offer a business English course once a week. This will prepare you even better for tasks in an international context.
There are two fixed dates in our party calendar: you and your colleagues celebrate a summer party at your location and the YPOGees from all locations get together for the Christmas party.
If Excel, Word, or PowerPoint are annoying you, we have an in-house expert who can help you immediately and give you tips on the programs. You can find further help in the tutorials of our Learning Management System.
Coffee, tea, water, muesli, fruit, vegetables, and chocolate bars are available in our offices to keep you going. We pay attention to sustainable and fair production for all products.
We regularly take the whole team away from our day-to-day work to work on important strategic issues and to have a good time together.
You have a four-legged friend who should also be your constant companion at work. As part of our pooch policy, we also welcome team members with fur at our offices.

Apply to YPOG
You can upload your application documents using our online form. Transparency is very important to us. We provide you with comprehensive information about what makes us tick and what it's like to work for us. We would therefore be delighted if you could also provide us with some information about yourself. We ask for your CV, your references, and a brief background to your application, for instance, when you could start with us. A cover letter is not necessary.
What happens next with your application?
Once we have received your application, we will get back to you within a week. If we are interested in your profile, we will meet you (virtually, if you wish) for an initial interview.
If the first meeting is promising for you and for us, we will invite you to a second meeting in one of our offices.
Before you decide to join YPOG, you will have the opportunity to get to know your future team in person. This way you can be sure that we not only fit together professionally, but also that the chemistry between us is right.
By the way…
...at YPOG we are on a first-name basis from the very beginning. You are welcome to omit the formal "you" (“Sie” auf Deutsch) in your application.
