We have growing pains and we are looking to find a rising star for our first in-house legal position. You will use your legal knowledge in the everyday life of the company across all aspects of the business. You will work alongside the CEO and the external law firm we currently use. Your tasks will vary depending on the urgency and importance of what happens in the business.

Who are we?

Shield Intelligence is a Danish tech startup providing data and analytics on LinkedIn for both consumers and business customers. We have processed more than 1 million LinkedIn posts for top influencers, marketing agencies, and global brands. And demand is increasing which is why we look to establish and expand an in-house legal function.

Who are you?

You live in or around Copenhagen, have a flair for legal and you are interested in tech. You are willing to work across the legal spectrum and not only in a specific niche. You are a self-starter meaning you will find or create solutions to the problems and challenges we encounter.

A normal work day could include:

• Legal research and knowledge gathering

• Write, edit, review, audit contracts (HR, sales, etc.)

• Assist with legal across the business

• Ad hoc tasks (not coffee brewing)

  
  

What we offer

We offer an international environment with a mix of cultures and a wide variety of professional backgrounds, with plenty of opportunity to learn and grow both personally and professionally.

The position begins as an unpaid internship for 3 months and is estimated to 15 hours per week spread across two full working days (9-16). For the right candidate, we will move on to a part-time, paid student position and onwards from there.

We are flexible around exam periods and do allow for remote work when/if this is more convenient at times.

You will be joining the team at our Copenhagen office, located centrally at Nørrebro close to the lakes and public transportation (literally right outside the door).

For the right candidate, joining Shield is a growth opportunity like no other.

We have experienced growth since day 1, even through the pandemic with no external support or funding. Ever.

We are purely customer financed through revenue.

Your qualifications

You likely study HA(jur.) or cand.merc.(jur.) at CBS or study law at Lund University, Uppsala University or University of Copenhagen. It is important that you are fluent in written and spoken English, and preferably in Danish.

Need-to-have:

• You are pursuing a Master's within the field of law

• You are well-versed in GDPR

• You are well-versed in law around technology and international trade

• You can communicate law in layman terms to people outside your field

• You pay attention to detail but enjoy abstract thinking

• You can reverse-engineer from a goal to what needs to be done legally - and help get it done

• You are proactive, a self-starter and don’t mind asking questions.

• Fluent in written and spoken English
