What does it take?
There are a few items we think will help you win the day in your new role

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;
• are fully qualified in Germany (first and second state exam);
• you have a "generalist background" and gained a minimum of 7 years of experience in drafting, interpreting, and negotiating complex project agreements; if your experience comes from the renewable energy or energy storage sector, we might think you were fancy indeed;
• have excellent judgment, both in business and interpersonal matters (but you still like lawyers…);
• have strong interpersonal skills, flexibility and a highly self-motivated working style;
• have the ability and willingness to act take responsibility and drive decisions. For you, the legal department is not an ivory tower but a business function merrily interacting with other part of the company delivering first in class results. 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.;
• 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;
• are interested in thinking out of the box and seek to improving the processes of how a legal department operates;
• always demonstrate impeccable ethics and commitment to compliance and safety; and
• speak German and English fluently.
