Do you want to join the house of opportunities? Are you looking to have a caring team around you and tailored ways to develop yourself? Do you already have practical experience in working in an in-house legal team or at a law firm? Great, because we have vacancy waiting just for you!
We are looking to hire two Legal Counsels (in-house lawyer) to join our Office of General Counsel (OGC) in Helsinki. Our OGC, the internal legal department of PwC Finland, provides legal support to our management, business units and support functions. OGC is a legal business partner to our business units, and we frequently cooperate with the global PwC network and our Nordic OGC colleagues in particular.
What kind of work is it about?
Your key responsibilities will include providing a wide range of legal assistance both in Finnish and English in contractual matters in relation to a variety of client engagements as well as PwC's internal support functions. You will also provide legal assistance in implementing new services to our clients and resolving daily business-related legal questions.
In this position you will report to General Counsel Sanna Pekuri.
Why should I apply to PwC?
A positive, relaxed, and inclusive work atmosphere is essential to us. Together, we create a great workplace by following our values: acting with integrity, making an impact, challenging our thinking, collaborating, and caring for each other.
We invest in the well-being of our employees, offering benefits related to physical activity and healthcare, such as the Auntie service, our own gym, and other well-being programs. Additionally, we prioritize effective leadership and management practices, along with a flexible working model. We operate in a hybrid working model.
What do you expect from me?
- a Master of Laws degree,
- Fluent skills in both Finnish and English (written and oral),
- a couple of years of relevant working experience e.g., as an in-house lawyer or at a law firm, and
- a hands-on and can-do attitude.
Moreover, we welcome positive and enthusiastic attitude, pragmatic approach, a passion towards legal work, eagerness to grow as a lawyer as well as good negotiation, communication and co-operation skills. We do not expect you to know everything - but we expect you to take ownership of matters handled by you, to have great problem-solving skills and to adapt well to changing situations. Previous experience and interest in contract law and data protection matters are considered beneficial.
We are seeking a motivated and versatile team member. We value the richness brought by diverse backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all the requirements listed above.
