Senior Legal Counsel

Job Description

We are looking for an experienced and commercially minded Senior Legal Counsel to join our growing Legal team. You will work closely with our General Counsel and play a central role in structuring, negotiating, and executing transactions across our global portfolio - from M&A and project finance to corporate governance and compliance. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of law, finance, and renewable energy, taking ownership of high-value, cross-border deals while helping shape a legal function that supports the business at every level.

Your main responsibilities

• Lead drafting, negotiation, and execution of M&A transaction documents, including SPAs, SHAs, JVAs, and related ancillary agreements
• Advise on project finance structures, including review and negotiation of facility agreements, security packages, and intercreditor arrangements
• Support due diligence processes on acquisitions and disposals, coordinating with external counsel across jurisdictions
• Drive risk assessment and mitigation strategies across deal structures, balancing legal robustness with commercial pragmatism
• Act as a strategic legal advisor to the investment and finance teams, ensuring alignment between legal frameworks and transaction objectives
• Manage and coordinate external legal counsel on transactions, controlling quality and cost
• Handle corporate governance and tax matters, including entity structuring, board documentation, and regulatory and tax filings across multiple jurisdictions
• Own and maintain internal company policies, ensuring these are kept current, properly documented, and aligned with regulatory requirements and business needs
• Support broader corporate administration including maintenance of corporate records, power of attorney registers, signing authorities, and group entity housekeeping
• Maintain and administer the company's insurance portfolio, including coordinating renewals, ensuring adequate coverage across jurisdictions, and liaising with brokers and insurers
• Strengthen collaboration between Legal and business functions, acting as a bridge between legal and financial teams
• Contribute to the continuous development of legal templates, processes, and best practices

You will work from our office in Copenhagen (Troms??gade 2, Nordhavn) or Aalborg HQ (John F. Kennedys Plads 43). As we operate globally, the role occasionally calls for a flexible attitude - and we offer the same in return.

About You

You are curious and business-oriented, with a genuine interest in understanding the commercial drivers behind every deal. You bring a pragmatic and solution-oriented mindset - knowing when to push and when to compromise. You are comfortable working independently with significant responsibility, while also thriving in cross-functional, international teams where priorities can shift quickly.

We expect you to enrich our business with the following qualifications and skills:

• You hold an EU or UK law degree and are a qualified lawyer with a minimum of 5 years of post-qualification experience from a law firm or in-house legal function within renewable energy, project development, or infrastructure financing
• Solid experience in M&A, project finance, and corporate law within energy, infrastructure, or large-scale project environments
• Proven ability to manage high-value transactions and complex multi-party negotiations
• Strong business acumen with the ability to translate legal advice into practical, commercially sound solutions
• Excellent drafting and negotiation skills in English; proficiency in Danish is an advantage
