• Manage and coordinate external legal advisors in Sweden and other jurisdictions when appropriate.
• Contribute to the development of technology driven legal work flows, templates, tools and trainings.

Who You Are

You have a Swedish law degree and several years (15+) of relevant professional experience, preferably from a law firm, an in-house legal function, or both. You bring a strong foundation in international commercial and corporate law and are highly experienced in drafting, reviewing and negotiating agreements.

We believe you are a curious and dependable senior legal professional with high integrity. You are self-driven, business-oriented and responsive, with the ability to take ownership, provide sound judgement and contribute to continuous improvement. You are comfortable advising senior stakeholders, able to challenge constructively when required, and skilled at balancing legal risk with commercial objectives.

You easily move between strategic issues, complex projects and day-to-day business advisory work, and are used to navigating an international organization with many stakeholders and changing priorities.

You actively support collaboration and knowledge sharing, and are interested in developing more efficient ways of working. Experience with legal tech, AI tools and digitalised legal workflows is an advantage. You communicate clearly in both Swedish and English.

This Is Us

As Scania continues its transformation from a traditional global truck manufacturer into a leading provider of complete and sustainable transport solutions, Group Legal Affairs plays an important role in enabling the business with practical, high-quality legal advice across the organization. At the same time, the legal function is undergoing its own transformation towards a more structured, digitalised and efficient way of working, with increased focus on common processes, legal tech, AI-enabled tools and scalable workflows. In this role, you will be part of that development and join a global legal team of skilled professionals working closely with colleagues across Scania and the TRATON Group.

You will be based in Södertälje and be part of Group Legal Affairs, a dedicated and experienced team with broad legal expertise, reporting to the Head of Corporate & Commercial. The team acts independently as a provider of legal services, expertise and governance, while also constructively challenging the business.
