Imagine a future where you’re part of the Legal Financial Regulation team working on exciting matters to support the green energy transition
Join us in this role where you’ll advise on and monitor developments in financial regulation to ensure Ørsted’s compliance within this area. This is a new position and not a senior role. You will have the opportunity to support and tackle regulatory issues in relation to market integrity and transparency, including topics such as handling inside information, market behaviour and regulatory reporting for our many stakeholders across Ørsted’s business, in particular our European trading departments.
Welcome to Legal
You’ll be part of an international Legal department with lawyers from across the world. More specifically, you’ll be part of the Legal Financial Regulation, Power Portfolio & Trading team, where you, together with your nine dedicated colleagues, will be responsible for realising Ørsted’s green vision. We offer a challenging position in a dedicated team working at the intersection between complex regulation and operational compliance within the energy sector. As a team, we strive to be trusted advisors and “go-to people” for expert knowledge. In the team knowledge sharing, collaboration, accessibility, and business and industry understanding is key to achieving our goals and we have an engaging and supportive culture with a strong focus on professional and personal development.
You’ll play an important role in:
advising the business on financial regulation matters such as MiFID, MAR, EMIR, REMIT, SFTR, and AML, particularly on product classification and prevention of insider trading and market manipulation in the European energy and financial markets
identifying relevant compliance risks and assisting the business with durable and operational solutions
ensuring compliance with financial regulation and internal policies in our European business, including conducting training, compliance controls, incident handling, and handling inquiries from regulatory authorities
establishing and updating guidelines and procedures relevant for our European business participating in relevant projects and external working groups as a legal expert on financial regulation.
To succeed in the role, you:
have a master's degree in law, good legal skills, and are either a 1st-year attorney-at-law or a 3rd-year assistant attorney
have some practical experience with financial regulation, preferably with energy markets or financial markets
have a proactive and systematic approach to your work tasks and are a team player
can communicate in a clear and simple way, both verbally and in writing, preferably in both English and Danish
thrive in an international environment and are accommodating towards your stakeholders at all levels.
Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.

Ørsted is the global leader in offshore wind power and is one of the largest renewable energy companies in the world.
Within a decade, we transformed from being one of Europe’s most fossil fuel-intensive utilities to being ranked as one of the most sustainable energy companies in the world. Today, we’re guided by a clear vision: to create a world that runs entirely on green energy.
We provide countries, companies, and communities with sustainable, reliable, and cost-competitive energy solutions, including offshore and onshore wind, solar, renewable hydrogen, and energy storage. We built the world’s first offshore wind farm back in 1991, and with over 2,000 turbines at sea, we’ve installed more offshore wind capacity than anyone else. In total, we own or operate over 17 GW of renewable energy capacity across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
We know that to build renewable energy at pace and scale, we must build it right. We commit to developing and operating our assets in harmony with nature and in line with the need for science-based climate action. We prioritise integrity and safety in our operations, and we respect the human rights and diverse values of every employee and stakeholder.
As a global renewable energy leader, we leverage the curiosity and passion of our people to innovate and take new or existing technologies to scale, collaborating with governments, suppliers, and our industry partners to make green energy solutions a reality.
