About The Role

The role includes independent responsibility for certain areas, while working in close collaboration with colleagues within the legal function.

The company develops and provides products and services for individuals with disabilities, meaning that legal matters often relate to privacy, information handling, and international business operations.

The role is carried out in a dynamic and evolving environment with multiple internal and external stakeholders.

The role involves independent responsibility for recurring legal matters, while more complex or strategic issues are handled in dialogue with colleagues within the legal function. You are expected to gradually build your own area of responsibility and contribute to the development of the company’s legal function.

• Support group entities across the world in different jurisdictions in commercial and legal matters
• Handle agreements and legal issues in an international context
• Structure, processes, and governance
• Contribute to structuring and developing legal support systems (e.g. contract databases, policy frameworks, and intranet resources)
• Participate in drafting and updating internal guidelines and training materials
• Handle certain legal administrative tasks related to contracts and documentation

What We Look For
