Legal Counsel hos SKF i Göteborg

What you can expect in the role:

Independently manage your matters from initial assessment through drafting, negotiation, decision and implementation, while knowing when to involve colleagues or external counsel

Form a clear legal view, recommend a course of action and help stakeholders move from analysis to decision and implementation

Advise senior stakeholders across Finance, Treasury, Investor Relations, Sustainability, IT, Supply Chain, Communications, People Experience (HR) and other group functions.

Draft, negotiate and review a wide range of agreements

Support M&A, strategic projects, governance, commercial contracts, technology and innovation initiatives

Manage litigation and claims-related matters

Provide pragmatic, business-focused legal advice and risk management support

Collaborate with legal colleagues and business leaders across SKF's global organization, giving you the opportunity to build an international network and contribute across jurisdictions while helping stakeholders meet business objectives and manage legal risk.

What makes this role particularly unique is the combination of autonomy and breadth of the Corporate Legal mandate. Few in-house legal positions at large international companies offer exposure to such a wide range of matters together with genuine responsibility for shaping solutions. You can remain a broad corporate lawyer while building a recognized area of expertise in the fields that genuinely interest you and that align with our business. We think lawyers perform at their best when they pair a wide view of the business with deeper knowledge in the areas that interest them most. As a result, the exact shape of the role will develop over time depending on your experience, interests and strengths, as well as the needs of the business.

We expect you to have/be:

Master's degree in law (LLM).

Extensive relevant experience from a well-renowned law firm, an international company or a combination of both.

Comfortable in leading discussions and challenging constructively and making progress when the path is not yet fully defined.

Establish credibility with senior stakeholders through effective communication, integrity, engagement and turn legal analysis into practical options.

Analytically skilled with the ability to approach complex issues with commercial curiosity, integrity and a can-do attitude.

Experience in commercial contracts or transactions is valuable.

Enjoy variety and are comfortable switching between high-level strategic discussions and detailed legal analysis.

Eager to continue to learn and develop across an evolving legal landscape.

Collaborative and confident working across cultures and functions

Proficiency in both verbal communication and presentations in English. Swedish is desirable, and so is other languages.
