The role combines strategic advisory work with hands-on case handling.

Welcome to HR Legal & Employee Relations
You’ll be part of HR Legal & Employee Relations where you, together with your colleagues, will advise on employment law, manage employee relations matters, and support organisational changes primarily in Denmark.

• advising on employment law, policies, collective agreements, and terms of employment in Denmark (and to a minor degree in Sweden)
• managing employee relations cases, including dismissals, warnings, and settlement agreements
• supporting organisational changes and redundancy processes in close collaboration with stakeholders and employee representatives
• implementing new legislation and ensuring templates and guidance remain fit for purpose
• partnering with leaders and HR Business Partners to balance legal risk with business needs
• contributing to knowledge sharing and legal coordination across teams and geographies.

To succeed in the role, you:

• bring strong experience within employment law and employee relations
• apply a pragmatic and solution-oriented advisory style, balancing legal, business, and people considerations
• build trust and credibility with senior stakeholders through clear, confident communication and practical case handling
• demonstrate strong judgement and the ability to navigate complex situations
• enjoy collaboration and actively contribute to a high-performing specialist team
• hold a relevant legal qualification or equivalent experience.

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
