We’ll tell you more about Fluence below, but first let’s talk about you
- You are responsible, agile, leading and fun. (Hint: these are Fluence’s core values, and we mean it. Seriously.). Beyond that, you fiercely innovate, enjoy thriving together with others (at Fluence the”We” is paramount), and always stive to deliver excellence
- You have a “generalist” background and gained a minimum of two years of experience drafting, interpreting, and negotiating contracts. We are not too bothered about “your” jurisdiction - but an openness to work in common and civil law jurisdictions is necessary. For a lawyer, that probably means you are “daring”. If you have also seen and worked on a wide variety of other matters that come across the table of an in-house lawyer in a small legal department - even better.
- You are interested in thinking out of the box on how legal departments are working. improving the processes of a legal department - what’s Legal Tech?.
- You read legalese fluently, but you never, ever speak legalese. You enjoy boring your family and friends with your vast knowledge of legal matters that come up in the life of an international group of companies. And you entertain your colleagues from other functions in the same manner - and they like you for it.
- You probably began your career by laboring happily in a swanky law firm or have been exposed to the joy of an in-house legal department.
- You have excellent judgment, both in business and interpersonal matters, except you like lawyers. You can win the day for your client, and the other side thinks you’re awesome. People sometimes tell you “Wow, I didn’t know lawyers could be cool.”
- Ideally, you have some experience in industrial equipment, construction or utility projects. If your experience comes from the renewable energy or energy storage sector, we might think you are very fancy indeed.
- You have impeccable ethics and a commitment to compliance and safety. (We don’t make jokes about compliance or safety.)
- You exude strong interpersonal skills, flexibility and a highly self-motivated work style. In a room full of industrial-grade rock stars, you’ll blend in like a chameleon - and together with these rock stars - form the group delivering the next No. 1 hit.
