You will become part of a team consisting of highly experienced and knowledgeable colleagues in the industry. We offer an inclusive work environment with a warm welcome and good conditions for you to feel secure in your role. Your tasks will include, but are not limited to:

• Preparation and filing of trademark and design applications with authorities, as well as forwarding instructions to local agents
• Deadline monitoring

You will report to the Head of Paralegals. The team is geographically dispersed, with the intended placement for this role at one of our offices in Gothenburg or Stockholm. The position is full-time with a start date in September 2026. 

Who are you?

 We would prefer that you have experience from a similar role and now wish to further develop and specialize. Experience in intellectual property is an advantage.

You are solution-oriented and structured, with the ability to identify efficient working methods. You have a positive attitude, are meticulous and responsible, as well as unpretentious and helpful where needed. You work proactively and thrive in collaboration with others. You express yourself fluently in speech and writing in both Swedish and English, with a good business level.

We value collaboration highly, both within the team and in relation to our clients. The culture is characterized by openness and lack of hierarchy. We believe you are ambitious, motivated by challenges, and appreciate a work environment where there is room for both engagement and well-being.

Our core values are built on passion, openness, and courage, something we hope you share with us.

Our Offer

 Our employees are our most important asset, and we cherish a work environment where everyone is given responsibility and encouraged to share ideas. The organization is characterized by short decision-making paths and an open climate where you have the opportunity to influence and contribute to the development of the business.

You will work together with engaged and competent colleagues who both support and challenge you in your development. We strive to be an attractive employer where you feel engaged in your work, and therefore invest in your development from day one through education, networking, wellness, and social activities.

In addition to varied tasks and a good work environment, you are also offered the opportunity to become a shareholder in the company, as AWA is 100% owned by its employees. This reflects our long-term and personal commitment to both the business and our clients.
