Descrizione del lavoro

Are you a fresh (or soon-to-graduate) lawyer eager to gain experience in promoting energy transition investments? Do you see yourself thriving in a fast-paced, international growth company? Perhaps you already have some experience from M&A/transactions, financing or the energy sector?

We are looking for a Legal Trainee to join our in-house legal team at the Helsinki office for a fixed period as one of our team members is on parental leave, starting as soon as possible and ending between August 15th and 30th, 2027.

In this role you will support Korkia’s legal team in various needs linked to financing, transactions, corporate matters and investment governance related to growing our global investment business. You will report to Korkia’s General Counsel and work closely with our legal team as well as key internal business stakeholders such as fund managers, investment directors and the finance team.

You could be the person we are looking for if:

• You are a qualified or soon-to-graduate lawyer (LLM), ideally with some experience from a top-tier business law firm (most relevant practice groups are energy & infrastructure, finance, corporate law or private M&A)
• You are fluent in communicating in Finnish and English – other languages are a plus but not a requirement.
• Your ambition is to become a versatile lawyer – you are eager to learn, proactive in your way of working and ready to take responsibility of any legal need the company may have.
• You are passionate to work in a fast-paced, multinational business environment; we are looking for someone who gets energized by speed and doesn’t freeze when facing something new or challenging.

Korkia offers you:

• An opportunity to work with a purpose-driven team – Korkia has positioned itself as an accelerator of the global energy transition. Our team members take pride in getting things done, and everyone has a real chance to make an impact – no matter the team or level.
• A rare legal role with competitive salary - Korkia is one of the fastest growing development-focused energy transition investors in Europe with a globally diversified portfolio – a similar in-house legal role based in Finland is therefore rare to find. In terms of compensation, we follow the salary recommendations issued by the Finnish Bar Association of Lawyers (Juristiliitto), on top of which you are entitled to lunch- and culture & wellness benefits.
• An international work environment – You have the opportunity to work in an international business environment together with Korkia’s highly ambitious team. Our investment portfolio currently consists of over 160 utility-scale solar, wind, BESS, and Datacenter projects in active development in Finland, Sweden UK, Greece, Italy, Romania, Canada, and Chile.
• A job with meaning – Our current global project pipeline includes 14 GW of renewable generation capacity and 6 GW of battery energy storage. If you are motivated by working towards a more sustainable future, it doesn’t get more meaningful than this.
• A dynamic team and humane work environment – Amidst the speed, Korkia’s team members remind each other that we are in it for a marathon, not a sprint. Our team members especially value the flexibility and openness of our culture, and that at Korkia, you can be yourself. Our Helsinki office is centrally located and the whole team works in a hybrid model.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Anna Idänheimo, EVP, Group Operations & Performance ([e-mail] or [phone]) or Tiia Ryhänen, General Counsel ([e-mail] or [phone]) flexibly via email or by phone on Tue, November 3rd 9am – 10 amor Friday, November 6th 2pm – 3pm.
