The ideal candidate brings both analytical rigour and stakeholder-facing diplomacy, with the ability to build relationships across diverse audiences—from member companies to government bodies. You are proactive, intellectually curious, and energized by the opportunity to shape sector policy and support business growth through sound legal guidance.


Experience & Expertise Required:

  • Solid background in commercial law, with particular expertise or strong interest in commercial real estate (leases, permits, property regulations) ; expertise B2C e-commerce and digital commerce law is a big plus
  • Demonstrated experience monitoring and analysing Belgian and/or European legislation and case law, and translating legal developments for non-specialist audiences
  • Experience advising businesses on compliance, legal risk, and regulatory matters
  • Familiarity with policy advocacy, stakeholder engagement, or sector representation (ideally in retail, services, or a similar commercial environment)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in Dutch and French (English is a plus) ; ability to draft clear legal analyses and position papers


Qualities & Work Approach:

  • Strategic thinker with the ability to connect legal developments to business impact and sector priorities
  • Excellent communicator who can distill complex legal concepts into accessible language for diverse audiences
  • Collaborative and relationship-focused; comfortable building consensus and engaging across internal and external stakeholders
  • Proactive and self-directed; able to identify emerging legal issues and take initiative in developing sector responses
  • Detail-oriented and thorough, with strong research and analytical capabilities
  • Adaptable and resilient in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment


Role Impact & Success:

In this position, you will directly influence how Belgium's retail and services sector—a major economic pillar employing 550,000 people—navigates legal change and growth. Your insights and advocacy will help member companies remain compliant, competitive, and confident in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
