• Provide pragmatic legal guidance to stakeholders across the value chain in close collaboration with group Legal, ensuring clear translation of legal requirements into business-relevant actions and decisions
• Support the design and implementation of cyber security governance, policies and compliance frameworks, including translation of regulatory requirements into ISMS support audits, assessments and line of business, collaborating with e.g. Public Affairs interactions with regulators and external stakeholders, including preparation of documentation and evidence demonstrating compliance
• Collaborate with legal colleagues globally and contribute to cross‑functional projects, ensuring alignment across Group Legal, CISO Office, business units, and regional/legal functions
• Contribute to establishing a coherent and scalable regulatory operating model, including processes for monitoring, interpretation, implementation, and follow-up of regulatory requirements

• The ability to translate regulatory cyber topics into business-relevant language
• Deep interest in renewable energy, global cooperation, and continual improvement
• A practical approach, with the ability and motivation to contribute meaningfully to cybersecurity and compliance deliverables, rather than only providing guidance on them

What We Offer

• Exposure to instrumental legal issues at the intersection of technology, regulation and sustainability
• A diverse, international and purpose‑driven working environment
• Opportunities for professional development and career growth
