- Education as either cand.jur, cand.merc.jur or a similar educational qualification from abroad.
- A minimum of three years of practical experience with a focus on business ethics compliance, CSR, ESG or similar areas is required.
- Strong knowledge of relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards related to business ethics and ESG.
