About the Role

Do you want to contribute to a fossil-free society? At Vattenfall, we are undergoing a significant transformation as we aim to create a future where everyone can move, work, and live fossil-free. This transition brings a substantial need for legal support in various matters. We are now looking for a Legal Counsel – Integrity Officer who wants to influence tomorrow's climate-smart society and drive development forward.

As a Legal Counsel – Integrity Officer, you will be part of one of Sweden's largest corporate legal departments.

Within the legal department, you will belong to an international Integrity team that works with privacy and compliance-related issues. You will work closely with the Group Integrity Officer.

Integrity at Vattenfall means consistently upholding ethical principles, legal standards, and transparency across all our operations. The Integrity team works to ensure compliance with competition law, bribery and corruption, conflicts of interest, and to coordinate and be responsible for the whistleblower function within Vattenfall.

Your Responsibilities

• Contribute to achieving Vattenfall's overall integrity-related goals in close collaboration with other team members on an international basis.
• Ensure good compliance within the group by training staff and providing ongoing legal advice.
