ROLE DESCRIPTION
INVISIO is looking for a commercially minded and pragmatic Corporate Legal Counsel to support its global business. This is a broad legal generalist role with a strong commercial focus, where you will work closely with the business and provide legal support across a wide range of matters, with particular emphasis on international contracts, tenders, customer projects and other commercial legal matters.
As Corporate Legal Counsel, you will become part of a small legal team together with Signe Karstoft, Legal Director, to whom you will report. The role is based at INVISIO’s headquarters in Hvidovre, and the legal function is organisationally anchored within INVISIO’s Sales & Program function, which consists of approximately 50 employees globally, including around 25-30 in Denmark. You will primarily support the global sales organisation and work closely with colleagues across the business. Much of your work will involve large and complex customer contracts, tenders and projects.
You will provide legal support across INVISIO’s international business, including in relation to US contracts, such as contracts within the defence sector, and support sales teams across Europe and other markets. You will also support INVISIO in connection with major public tenders, including tenders involving ministries and defence organisations, providing legal support on contractual and other legal questions arising throughout the tender process.
As a technology company, intellectual property is an important part of INVISIO’s business. While dedicated specialists handle areas such as patents, you may also advise on IP-related matters as part of the broader commercial legal support. Experience with IP or from a technology or other IP-intensive business would therefore be an advantage.
In addition to the day-to-day legal support, you will contribute to developing and improving the way Legal supports the business. This includes driving legal improvement initiatives, maintaining and developing contract templates and legal guidelines, and conducting workshops and awareness activities for the business.
The role is highly international and outward-facing, with significant interaction with customers and stakeholders at all levels. You will have opportunities to join customer visits and negotiate contracts abroad, as well as participate in trade fairs in Denmark, Europe and the US.
The role is expected to involve approximately 25 travel days per year.
As INVISIO continues to grow rapidly, you will work in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly, and no two days are the same.
