Job description

Want to be part of transforming road freight – for good? Einride is showing the world a new way to move, based on the latest digital, electric and autonomous technologies. Through freight capacity as a service, we enable businesses around the world to accelerate towards their sustainability goals.

Now publicly listed on Nasdaq (ENRD), Einride was founded in 2016 and became the first company in the world to deploy a cab‑less autonomous electric vehicle on a public road (Sweden, 2019). In 2022, we were the first to successfully operate such a vehicle on a US public road. Today our award‑winning technology has been launched across 8 countries (and counting). Our clients are some of the world’s biggest shippers, including Fortune 500 companies. We are also operating Sweden’s largest truck dedicated public charging network and counting.

Einride is seeking a Corporate Counsel to join our US legal team. In this role, you’ll drive commercial transactions and navigate complex legal matters at the cutting edge of technology and logistics. You will advise on commercial contracts, support regulatory and compliance strategy, and contribute to key corporate initiatives. Working both independently and as part of our global legal team, you thrive in a fast-paced environment and excel at managing competing priorities under tight deadlines.

You will:

• Drive commercial contracting: Structure, draft, review, and negotiate customer agreements, strategic partnerships, NDAs, and standard commercial contracts.
• Support securities compliance & governance: Assist with public company governance, disclosure obligations, regulatory filings, and ongoing compliance requirements.
• Optimize legal operations: Build and refine scalable internal legal processes to improve operational speed, consistency, and efficiency.
• Provide cross‑functional support: Assist with broad legal activities and strategic initiatives as the needs of the business evolve.
• Report to leadership: Work directly under the guidance of the Head of Legal, US.

We expect you to:

• Hold active credentials: Have a J.D. degree (or equivalent) and maintain active bar membership in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
• Bring proven experience: Have 4+ years of corporate or transactional law experience within a law firm, in‑house legal department, or a mix of both.
• Demonstrate core legal expertise: Have a strong foundation in commercial contracting, transactional negotiations, and general corporate matters.
• Balance risk and reality: Weigh legal risk effectively against practical, business‑driven outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Industry Expertise: Direct experience in freight, transportation, logistics, energy, or other regulated industries.
• Cutting‑Edge Tech Exposure: Experience working with autonomous technology, AI/ML, or hardware/infrastructure companies.
• Securities Background: Prior experience navigating corporate securities law and public company reporting requirements.

This is a full‑time hybrid position based in Austin, TX (we will consider outstanding remote candidates located anywhere in the U.S.). You will be part of a truly diverse, high performing team with a common passion for sustainability and making things happen in an innovative way.

At Einride, we are innovators, building solutions the world has never seen before – but urgently needs. That’s why we take action, and it’s why we are always eager to be challenged. We know that our best innovations come from having a diverse mix of people, including those of different experiences, career paths, and walks of life. By coming together and sharing our perspectives openly – by disagreeing, discussing, and committing – we deliver greater impact.
