Who you are

You have worked 4-6 years as a lawyer at a law firm or as an in-house legal counsel, handling various commercial legal matters. You are a generalist with a broad experience, preferably within both B2B and B2C, and have experience of review and negotiation of commercial agreements in particular. Experience of procurement, especially procurement of digital products involving reviews of license agreements and software as a service, is a merit. You are a great team player with a problem-solving and business-oriented mind-set. You are able to translate legal advice into useful business actions. At Polestar, you will be part of a cross-functional and international team, with English as a natural language for written and spoken communication.

Establishing a new car brand makes for an exciting future that will require a lot of flexibility and creative thinking while keeping a strong integrity. You do not wait for instructions; you act proactively, with focus on the right thing and getting the job done. You do not mind working odd hours as necessary, and you are not the type who relies on a law firm doing the job for you.

At Polestar, you will be part of a cross-functional and international team, with English as a natural language for written and spoken communication. Since Polestar’s in a scale-up phase you thrive by working in a fast-paced environment.
