The legal team is responsible for providing general legal counselling to all levels of the organization – from executive management to all our dedicated colleagues throughout NNIT.

As our new Senior Legal Counsel, you will be joining a team of 4 colleagues in NNIT's corporate legal department.

You will, together with the rest of the legal team, act as trusted advisor on contractual matters and work closely together with the NNIT business units.

You play a significant role in the reviewing and negotiation phase of customer contracts. You will join the core negotiation team where you take the leading role together with sales and the delivery organization.

You will help the NNIT business by providing value-adding legal advice in handling of disputes with both customers and vendors. You will guide on the legal strategy and lead the dispute negotiations in close collaboration with NNIT business.

The legal team also secures regulatory compliance and you will be given certain compliance areas where you will be responsible for learning the compliance area and educating the rest of the legal team and the NNIT organization.

As part of the legal team you will also be responsible for ensuring that the team dedicates time to knowledge share and that you develop as a team, in order to become a united trusted advisor towards the NNIT business.

The legal department is located in our headquarter in Søborg. You will interact daily with our international offices, especially the sales offices in Switzerland, Germany, Singapore and US as we have clients around the world.

We pay a great deal of attention to job satisfaction and your personal and professional development. You can count on developing your skills with interesting work, relevant training and personal development plans.

We emphasize being good colleagues who support each other, share knowledge, and make work a fun place. We work closely together to support and evolve our skills and competences.

We live our values every day, so you should be able to see yourself in them.

We are: 

“Conscience driven. Value adding. Open and honest.”

Your qualifications and experience

Our new colleague has a Master’s degree in Danish Law (cand.jur or cand.merc.jur) combined with a strong and extensive professional background as legal advisor – either from a law firm or as an in-house counsel and this has given you a high degree of insight into complex IT contracts.

You have a solid commercial mindset and an open personality, and you use your diplomatic skills to express and synthesize complex issues and reach a consensus between the parties.

You communicate clearly and interact with all levels of management in a proactive manner.

Your negotiation skills are key in face-to-face negotiations but also in remote negotiations on entire contracts or separate provisions. You show a large degree of overview in such situations.

You utilize teamwork opportunities and facilitate cooperation across the organization to achieve a common goal by using your political and empathic ability to find common ground in sensitive situations.
