At Stravito, we’re building the world’s best search engine for a company’s market knowledge. We’re a diverse team of entrepreneurs, developers, marketers and designers on a mission to simplify knowledge discovery. We have some of the world’s leading consumer facing companies as our customers, such as Carlsberg, Danone, Electrolux, Comcast and Pepsi-Lipton.
We are now looking for a Legal Counsel to join our great team consisting of e.g. seasoned entrepreneurs and executives from companies such as iZettle, Spotify, Klarna and Min Doktor. You will be responsible for our legal strategies and operation, working closely with most in the management team while reporting to the CFO.
Our product is a marketplace of knowledge between an insights function (e.g., Consumer & Market Insights teams) and the teams consuming and using the insights (e.g., Brand or Category Managers). We market and sell our product as a SaaS, i.e., subscription of a software license. We help some of the world’s largest consumer-facing enterprises to store data worth hundreds of millions EUR and enables joyful and efficient usage of insights for a modern workforce. This means that we regularly interact with very large companies and need to be pragmatic and street smart how we view legal topics. Stravito is also a high-growth technology company backed by VC firms and with an international and high talent team, which also greatly influence the everyday work of our future Legal Counsel.
The position
The Legal Counsel will have a broad scope of responsibilities and the right candidate is not assumed to know all that is necessary from start but is assumed to be able to learn and solve problems on the go in an effective way. Sometimes that means conducting a legal deep dive but more often googling, finding an expert (paid or from our network), triangulate data points in order to find sufficiently good answer based on the business value or risk. A successful candidate probably enjoys general business building from a legal perspective more than being the deep legal expert.
