• Entrepreneurial mindset and desire to take responsibility beyond traditional legal duties, including participation in strategic planning, developing new initiatives, and leading high-value projects.
• Willingness to operate in a global, dynamic environment, where your impact is measured by tangible results on international ventures.
What we offer:
• Long-term incentive-based compensation, aligned with the success of global ventures, giving the selected candidate the opportunity to be a true partner in the company's success and the development of new initiatives.
• Exposure to high-profile international projects, with a real influence on strategic decisions and business initiatives.
