Who is Penneo?

Before telling you who we are and what we do, let us say that the most important asset at Penneo is our PEOPLE. Our workplace culture is open, inclusive, respectful and driven by the mindset that we are all one big family and we should treat each other as such. For that reason, we are not simply looking for new employees, we are looking to form new long-term relationships with people that can resonate with our values. These include vulnerability, responsibility, transparency, alignment, bravery and unity. Penneo strives to make work fun and succeed in our people waking up in the morning and being excited about coming to the office, which is why we want all Penneos to work for a mission, not for a workplace. 

Our mission is to help companies manage and automate their digital signing processes and documents in a fast, streamlined and effortless way, while at the same time allow them to be fully compliant and secure, thus tackling today’s compliance and security challenges. In addition, we want to contribute to building a more environmentally friendly world, by making businesses go paperless!

Founded in 2014, Penneo is now a hyper growth SaaS company of 60 colleagues, working with more than 1800 customers in the Nordic Region. We work with companies such as Deloitte, KPMG, EY, PwC  and our client base is rapidly expanding.

If you join us, you should expect to become part of a multicultural team of 20 nationalities, who is currently growing at full speed, and whose team efforts allowed us to announce with pride that we were listed at Nasdaq First North Growth Market on June 2nd, 2020! 

Who we are looking for?

At the moment, we are looking for a part time (15-20 hours per week) legal assistant, to join our legal team situated in Copenhagen as soon as possible. You will help us in most areas of our legal compliance work.

Skills and experience:

We believe that, to be successful in this role, you are a law student with the basic legal skills in place. Ideally, you are therefore 1-3 years into your legal studies.

As a person, we are looking for someone who is keen on taking a business oriented approach on all legal tasks.

Since our work language is English, we expect that you will be fluent in the language.

At the same time, as many laws and regulations are only available in Danish, you must be able to speak Danish fluently.

What your day will look like:

Your work days will vary very much! Some days you will be drafting employment contracts in the morning and responding to customer requests and questions containing legal aspects in the afternoon. Other days you may spend digging into a legal topic in order to provide advice to the company management. Penneo is listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market, and you will be involved in the tasks related to insider trading etc. Finally, Penneo is expanding into new markets and you will therefore also be involved in legal research regarding laws and regulation in new possible markets. Every day you will get the chance to develop your legal skills in a fast paced and international company. Of course, having lunch together with colleagues or sharing the occasional beer after work or during Friday bars is also part of the deal!  

Who will be in your team? 

You will be part of the legal team and will work closely together with our Operations Manager & Legal Counsel, Christian Trolle, whose focus is business oriented, while still keeping Penneo a fully compliant and responsible company in all legal matters.

Apply to join us if you want to:

• Have a high influence on the legal tasks in a fast paced SaaS Company,

• Be responsible for solving legal tasks in a very broad perspective,  

• Join a team of international colleagues who work hard and produce results.

Apart from that, we also offer:

• An open and informal workplace culture, where all team members respect one another and assume responsibility and accountability for their work, while having fun! 

• Lots of responsibility and opportunities to learn and develop your career,

• Office location in the city center, close to metro, public transportation and vibrant social life,

• Monthly Friday Bars and lots of social events,

• Yearly team camps to exciting beach locations or ski resorts up in the mountains, so that we can charge our batteries and bond as a team,

• Catered and delicious lunch every day,

• Private health insurance (we’ve got you covered!),

• Football table and PS4 (because we all need a break to relax our mind during work),

• Competitive salary, depending on qualifications and experience.
