General Counsel to Hexicon
At Hexicon, we are all about working towards a sustainable future by opening new markets for floating offshore wind in deep water areas to support the world’s energy transition. Today Hexicon has a maturing global project portfolio and a patented floating wind technology ready for testing.
To reach our vision for the world, and the company, we need excellent people who share our goals. Right now, we are looking for a General Counsel to build the legal function and be our legal partner and expert.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a new role and the company’s first in-house counsel. Your primary task will be taking the overall responsibility of structuring the legal work in our company. You will be a strategic partner to the management, report directly to the CEO and be a member of the management team. Hexicon's head office is located in the city center of Stockholm.
We also need you to be a hands-on advisor and legal project lead. We have a dual business model, where we act both as an early-stage project developer and a technology provider, offering a unique floating wind design. In this role, you will work closely with our operational team, both in Sweden and abroad, for which you will provide advice and guidance in different legal matters. More concretely, you will be the legal manager in our early-stage projects which involves advising on SHA:s, SPA:s, JV:s and corporate matters as well as divestments. You will also be responsible for managing other legal matters such as IP-related questions, procurement, commercial agreements and internal policies.
The spectrum of the role is broad, and no two days will be the same.
ABOUT YOU
You are a seasoned lawyer with solid transactional experience and the thought of being the first lawyer to build and steer a legal function at an offshore wind company at the forefront of the industry excites you!
We believe that your transactional experience was gained at a well reputable law firm but we are open to alternative experiences for the right candidate. It would be a great plus if you also have experience from working in infrastructure or as an in-house counsel at a fast-paced company. We are looking for a structured, innovative person who thrives on guiding others and is used to a high-paced work environment.
In this role, you will be dealing with projects all over the globe. We currently have projects in Sweden, South Africa, South Korea, Scotland, Italy and the UK. In order to succeed, we therefore believe that you have experience from an international context and from drafting, reviewing and negotiating international agreements. A requirement is to have excellent working skills in both Swedish and English.
WHAT WE OFFER
Hexicon operates in a field on the threshold to commercialization and it truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become a part of this growing market. In addition to a challenging new job position with lots of freedom, we offer you an open and welcoming atmosphere with great benefits.
Hexicon is also an equal-opportunity employer. We are an increasingly diverse group of individuals, united by a common mission, who inspire and motivate each other in driving Hexicon towards its goals. We always strive to become more diversified and welcome all applications.

Vår rekryteringsprocess
Vi tror på kompetensbaserad rekrytering som en förutsättning för mångfald, inkludering och jämställdhet. Därför arbetar vi med databaserade rekryteringsmodeller och har en strukturerad och systematisk rekryteringsprocess.
De metoder vi använder oss av är de med högst evidens på att avgöra en kandidats faktiska potential att prestera väl i rollen. Även för en så pass specialiserad grupp som jurister finns det fler parametrar att ta i beaktande än antal år i en viss roll.
Hur skall man egentligen kunna avgöra en persons kapabilitet att prestera genom de korta interaktioner man har i en rekryteringsprocess? Vi pratar mer än gärna mer om detta och kommer att ha ett svar på varje “hur?” och “varför?” som ni funderar på kring vår process.
Vi tror inte heller att finns några genvägar till kvalitet. Därför tar vi bara så många parallella uppdrag som tillåter oss att bibehålla optimal uppmärksamhet till både kund och kandidater.
I samarbetet med kund har vi alltid ett fokus på transparens och kommunikation.

Maria lämnade rollen som jurist 2018 och har sedan dess arbetat med rekrytering av jurister. Du kan läsa mer om Marias bakgrund på hennes LinkedIn-sida här.
Vi har genom tidigare erfarenheter ett mycket stort och aktivt kontaktnät inom juristvärlden. För att använda oss av detta på ett sätt som blir optimalt för våra kunder har vi också ett stort fokus på rekryteringsprocessen. Det mervärde som vi kan tillföra genom själva processen är en kompetensbaserad rekrytering som ger arbetsgivaren en modern approach till rekrytering med fokus på mångfald, jämställdhet och fördomsfrihet.
Vår ambition är att förstå precis vad det är ni behöver och att hjälpa er att hitta rätt person för er organisation. Vi tror att vi gör detta på bästa sätt genom att bygga professionella relationer och förtroende hos både kunder och kandidater och genom en modernt utarbetad rekryteringsprocess och lyhördhet mot såväl kund som kandidat.
