This is a once-in-a-career opportunity to join us as an integral part of a groundbreaking technology company engaged in innovative issues, and passionate about solving some of the biggest challenges in the world.

We are seeking a skilled lawyer with a strong generalist background to support our Delivery business in the Nordics (Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland). You will be part of the Northern, Central & Eastern Europe Legal Team and will therefore also be able to support initiatives across the entire NCEE region.

2. Work on a broad range of legal, commercial and regulatory issues to support the Delivery business, including assisting on litigation matters as relevant.
3. Provide critical and proactive legal and strategic input on a wide range of complex issues and initiatives for our Delivery business. It’s our job to peer around corners for the business and ensure that we are well-positioned for the future.
4. Collaborate with our in-house specialists across Uber’s Global Legal team, including Employment, Privacy, Payments, and Competition.
