Head of Legal

Being part of the development of new nuclear power in Sweden is a unique opportunity – and a central part of the future

sustainable energy supply. Videberg Kraft is a project company with the mission to develop, construct, and operate Sweden’s future

nuclear power.

Joining us means being part of building a company from the ground up, with processes, systems and ways of working shaped in

parallel with the project itself. Here, progress depends on people who can move forward with confidence, even when not every

answer is known, take full responsibility, and look beyond their own role to help the wider project succeed.

We are now looking for a Head of Legal to build and lead our legal function and play a key role in shaping the legal and

governance framework for our project.

As Head of Legal you will establish and lead our legal function, serve as Board Secretary, and provide strategic and pragmatic

legal advice to the CEO, Executive Management Team and Board. Reporting directly to the CEO, the role is a member of the Executive

Management Team.

You will safeguard Videberg Kraft’s interests and build the legal capability needed to support our mission to develop, build and

operate 1,500 MW of new nuclear power at the Värö Peninsula by the mid-2030s. Through pragmatic, risk-based legal advice and

effective governance, you will enable sound commercial decisions and support the safe delivery of the project on time and on

budget, while ensuring that contractual, regulatory, governance and compliance obligations are effectively managed.

Success in the role means identifying legal risks early, communicating them clearly and managing them within the company’s agreed

risk appetite. Key project contracts should protect value and support delivery, while governance and compliance obligations are

met through effective controls and clear decision-making. Claims and disputes should be prevented where possible and resolved

efficiently when they arise, with management and the Board receiving timely, practical legal advice. A key measure of success is

building an efficient and trusted legal function that can grow with the company through development, construction and future

operations.

• Legal leadership and governance: advise the CEO, management team and Board on legal risk, serve as Board Secretary and support

corporate governance.

We are looking for a commercially minded legal leader with substantial experience in complex contracts, major capital projects and

negotiations, preferably in a project-based environment. The ideal candidate combines strong legal expertise with the ability to

translate complex issues into clear business recommendations.

• Solid experience from a major industry, infrastructure or energy company, project developer, investor, or comparable

project-based environment

• Demonstrated experience in complex commercial contracts and major capital projects, preferably in energy, infrastructure,

utilities, industrial construction, or a related sector.

• Strong knowledge of corporate and commercial law, contract and claims management, governance, and compliance.
• Experience advising senior executives and Boards and translating complex legal issues into clear business recommendations.
• Proven ability to lead negotiations involving multiple parties, significant commercial exposure, and competing priorities.
• Experience managing external counsel, legal budgets, and cross-border matters.
• Ability to build a fit-for-purpose legal function from scratch
• Professional fluency in English; proficiency in Swedish is highly desirable.

Preferred:

• Experience at a leading law firm early in your career.
• Experience of public procurement or negotiations involving government bodies.

• A unique opportunity to shape the legal foundations of Sweden’s future nuclear power and help enable a major infrastructure

project.

• The mandate to build and lead a legal function from the ground up, shaping governance, processes and ways of working from an

early stage.

• A central role in the Executive Management Team, reporting directly to the CEO and serving as Board Secretary, with close

involvement in strategic decisions.

• A rare professional challenge combining major project negotiations, complex regulatory matters and commercial decision-making

across development, construction and future operations.
