Join Us. Volvo Cars’ global legal team is looking for an engaged and forward-thinking lawyer with a background within the finance area. Volvo Cars’ legal team consists of 35 lawyers who provide legal advice and support to the business units and other staff functions of Volvo Car Group within essentially all areas of business law. Our headquarters are at wonderful Hisingen, Gothenburg, but the world is our platform and you are not necessarily based there.

Truly Global, Proudly Scandinavian. Today, our award-winning Volvo cars continue to break sales records, and our disruptive innovations are pushing technological boundaries. But we’re aiming even higher. This ambition requires creative and proactive legal guidance while safeguarding compliance in everything we do. Are you ready to take on some of the most exciting legal issues of today?

Pitching in. Volvo Cars’ mission is to make people’s lives easier, safer and better and to offer solutions to move in a personal, sustainable and safe way. For Volvo Cars’ legal team, this means we support Volvo Car Group in achieving the business objectives in a rapidly changing environment while protecting sustainable corporate interests. It also means that we are looking for a colleague who – on a personal level – shares our values. Being enthusiastic, curious, collaborative, interested in technology, having a drive for continuous improvement combined with high integrity and a pragmatic approach goes a long way. As a member of Volvo Cars’ Legal team, you will have the opportunity to roll up your sleeves and take on various challenges, big and small, in a truly dynamic and international environment. In this role you will provide legal support to Volvo Car Group generally, but with a particular focus on banking & financial services, capital markets and consumer insurance & financing.

Your History. You are a qualified lawyer with grades in the upper tier. In your professional life, before applying for a job at Volvo Cars, you have worked at least 7 years as a lawyer at a law firm or as an in-house legal counsel, handling various commercial legal matters and with extensive experience within finance law. You will of course be a team player with a proactive and customer-oriented mind-set and with an ability to provide high-quality legal support with limited supervision and often under time pressure. Defining and solving complicated problems that require careful analysis and good judgement is something you excel at and thrive on. You are able to translate legal advice into actions that deliver business value and drive change.
