Then come and join us at BEUMER Group and be part of a great international company within airports and logistics.

Legal Counsel
As business is growing, we are strengthening our Legal & Commercial team where you will complement a tightly knit group of professionals of different backgrounds that supports and learns from each other. As Legal Counsel you will be a key team member supporting the business in large international projects and global services by providing business-oriented legal solutions to complex problems.

You will support the business through the entire lifecycle of our systems and with weight on the proposal stage. There are sometimes tight deadlines, when the larger proposals have to come together across functions, but our team spirit means that we always pull through together.

More specifically your role will be to:

• Draft, review and negotiate agreements for our complex projects and services with customers and suppliers around the world, involving external law firms where needed, and in close cooperation with the designated teams for each transaction.
• Identify and mitigate risks, both general and related to the specific business cases, as a member of a cross functional bid team and work closely with local BEUMER group companies.

• Provide general legal support: Advise on data, IT and IP related topics and on all kinds of commercial and corporate issues which may arise from time to time.
• Drafting and revising standard forms of contract and other templates as well as conducting legal in-house training.

As AI obviously is accelerating, we also expect you to be motivated and onboarded on the AI Legal-tech journey, making us more efficient in the years to come.

Solid legal background and a great team-player
Your ability to understand, evaluate and mitigate contractual risks makes you a valuable and trusted team member, who gets consulted before important decisions are made. You have a great sense of knowing when to be firm, and when to be pragmatic for achieving the best interests of BEUMER. You thrive in having many interfaces in the organisation, in Denmark and globally.

You understand how to balance between service and control in the organisation, while finding the pragmatic solutions - and taking ownership until the task is done.

We also imagine that:

• Your education is a cand.merc.jur or cand.jur
• You have 3-6 years' experience in an international company, as an in-house lawyer with a business-oriented role
• You have experience with complex project contracts, e.g in an international context, and thrives with the challenges and possibilities that an international environment brings
  • It is an advantage if you are familiar with international standard forms of contract such as FIDIC, Orgalime, NEC4 and AS4910.
• In your daily work, you are using AI Legal technology
• You are 'business curious' and want to understand the business and the delivery side of the projects and services that we provide
• You are a team player with excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, enabling you to communicate with internal and external stakeholders at all organizational levels
• You have strong negotiation and pragmatic problem-solving skills with a clear sense of prioritizing what matters
