We are looking for a Legal Counsel to join Hedvig and our mission to disrupt an entire industry with people’s best interest at heart. We’ve been working hard since the very beginning to change an industry that is hard to love – to something at least likable. At Hedvig we believe the only way in doing so is to work with loveable people.

What about the role?
Are you ready to fast track level up your career? In this role you will work within the Hedvig Group’s first line legal and compliance team in Stockholm. We are an innovative driven organization where you will be exposed to various exciting opportunities where accountability and ownership is key and where you will play an integral role in the operation and development of the business.

1. Manage the Group’s first line legal and compliance program, ensuring management adapts business to regulatory requirements

2. Monitor the regulatory landscape and adapt the business to new or amended regulatory requirements

3. Advise and educate employees and management on various legal and compliance issues

4. Coordinate with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority

5. Support the business in various matters such as outsourcing, insurance distribution, product approvals, contract management and customer information requirements

What about you?
If you share our vision and believe that the insurance experience needs to be reinvented, as well as not being afraid of competing with giants, we believe you have the following:

1. You have a law degree with at least 3 years of work experience

2. You have practical experience in legal and/or compliance from the finance or insurance industry

3. You are proficient in Swedish and English

4. A focus on getting things done, with the flexibility to adapt to a rapidly evolving environment

5. You communicate complex information in a structured and easy-to-understand manner

6. Promote a culture of openness, trust, and risk awareness, where ethical, legal, regulatory and policy compliant conduct is the norm

7. You are business oriented and pay close attention to details

What about us?

Hedvig was founded back in 2017 with one goal – to provide people with exceptional service. By showing an industry that it is possible to remove checklists, stop arguing over right and wrong, and embrace what we believe over what we can prove.

Since 2018, we have worked hard to create an insurance experience that is based on trust, is easy to use and is designed for how people actually live today. Adelis, the private equity company, stepped in as the new main owner in the beginning of 2023. Nicklas Storåkers and SEB are also shareholders, starting a strategic distribution partnership with Hedvig. We put a lot of effort into building a trusting culture where freedom, collective thinking, and individual ownership have center stage. We're not perfect–far from it, but we talk about and learn from our mistakes and imperfections to improve continuously. And we have a lot of fun along the way! As individuals, as a team, and as a company.
