WHY OATLY?

Across the world people’s consumption habits and diets are evolving to be more plant-based. Enter Oatly, the #1 oat based dairy alternative producer in the world with products spanning multiple categories.

We’re determined on being part of the discussion on the long-term future of the food and beverage industry. To keep this movement going, we need more brilliant minds to come work with us to keep the momentum going and the Oatly flowing.

Our sole purpose as a company is to make it easy for people to turn what they eat and drink into personal moments of healthy joy without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process.

Sustainability, nutritional health and trust are at the heart of what we do. We are building a culture that constantly upgrades each other so we can upgrade the planet. This is a company that shows great respect and a fearless approach to make positive change. Does this feel exciting? Well, this is where you come in.

WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO

We are seeking a highly organized and motivated legal assistant to support our in-house legal team. This is a key support role, responsible for ensuring that the legal department runs smoothly and efficiently. You will assist company lawyers with administrative and legal tasks including document preparation, contract handling, corporate governance, and coordination with key partners across the Oatly business. This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a structured role and is looking to grow within a corporate legal environment.

Here’s the main elements of the role...

• Provide day-to-day administrative support to the legal team, including scheduling, meeting preparation, and filing
  
• Assist in drafting and proofreading a wide range of legal documents and in coordinating multiple signature processes.

• Maintain and monitor legal calendar including filing deadlines and corporate governance events
  
• Monitor and coordinate incoming legal requests from business
  
• Maintain confidentiality and ensure data security for all legal documentation
  

But, you know. These are just the things we can think of right now! This might be the job today, but tomorrow brings more change, so being light on your feet and willing to embrace the unknown is a verrrrrry big help.

In this role, you will report to the Group Legal Counsel and be based at our Malmö HQ. Remote work from within Sweden is possible, although Malmö is preferred.
