We are looking for talented and motivated lawyer who wants to practice law differently.
You will have the opportunity to advise and support projects that are funded to transform cities and urban areas into more liveable places.
EIT Urban Mobility is a private company operating in Europe that manages public and private funds. Therefore, our organisation has a mix of blended interests and challenges stemming from both public and private legal frameworks.

Our team of lawyers is growing and is permanently working with thematic areas to support them with the conclusion of contracts (investment contracts, services agreements, grant agreements, etc.). We are looking for someone who has a good knowledge of the law and who is also able to understand our business activities.
The ideal candidate would also have a “constant improvement mindset” and thrives in finding ways to work more efficiently, and in developing new processes to help us manage our legal and technology workstreams.
You will have a keen commercial sense. Last (but certainly not least) you will enjoy working in a stimulating, diverse and intellectually challenging environment where multi-disciplinary collaboration is essential to completing projects and achieving results for our very international community.
