Would you like to play an important role in developing the best possible solutions for customers within a complex legislative framework in the financial sector? We are now looking for a Legal Counsel or a Senior Legal Counsel to support our high-quality savings and insurance business.
Meet the Nordea Life Law team. Our team ensures that legal requirements are met and support business growth as well as keep our insurance companies prudently governed and compliant. We provide inhouse legal advice to business and corporate governance of one of the biggest insurance groups, Nordea Life & Pensions, in the Nordic market.
You'll join an energetic team that is known for its great atmosphere filled with humor and teamwork which generates a great momentum for your professional growth. The role is based in Helsinki.
Collaboration. Ownership. Passion. Courage. These are the values that guide us in how we work and how we make decisions – and that we imagine you share with us.
As the Legal/Senior Legal Counsel, you'll play a valuable and trusted role in supporting the company's top management, business and product development, risk management, customer and sales support and communications by providing solutions and ensuring compliance.
This is the right role for you if you have an open and curious mindset with a positive attitude. You bring a strong sense of ownership and drive, work systematically using legal methods and competencies, and have a proven ability to find solutions to complex problems with a business-oriented approach. You demonstrate high integrity with a willingness to speak up and possess excellent people and stakeholder management skills.
People come here when they want to get somewhere. For some, it's to take their career to the next level. For others, it's to break new ground within their area of expertise – in other words, with us, you will always move forward.
A culture that fosters performance and growth in one of the largest Nordic banks, offering various opportunities to evolve, develop and learn from brilliant colleagues with diverse backgrounds in a vibrant working environment.
With us, knowledge sharing, collaboration and helpfulness are keywords. We offer workdays where a lot happens at once, and you get to dive into different legal areas, build solid business understanding and work within one of the most complex legislative frameworks. The role offers a unique opportunity to build a wide network within the Nordics.
Hybrid working model – we believe in the value of bringing people together and at the same time we embrace the freedom of flexibility.
Diversity and inclusion are a natural part of our daily work. We know that an inclusive workplace is a sustainable one. We genuinely believe that our diverse backgrounds, experiences, characteristics and traits make us stronger together. Every day we strive to find new ways to improve diversity and inclusion within our community e.g. we have signed the European Diversity Charters in the countries where we operate to show our commitment and engage with others to continue learning and improving.
