With around 750 employees and a strong growth journey, we offer a dynamic workplace where the Finnish legal expertise is highly valued, and where you can make a real impact.
You’ll play a key role in developing our new mortgage operations in Finland, contributing with your legal expertise from the very beginning as we establish new processes and ways of working. Alongside your colleagues, you’ll handle a variety of legal matters, deliver pragmatic advice, and help shape new approaches in an evolving environment.

Support in the setup-up of a new Finnish subsidiary in NOBA, with a focus on mortgage loan offering in the Finnish market
Act as a trusted legal advisor in a cross-functional setup, handling complex and detailed legal matters related to the Finnish mortgage product and operations
Provide legal analysis, strategy, and execution in disputes and litigation
Collaborate closely with business, operations, and other stakeholders in NOBA to deliver balanced, pragmatic, and legally sound solutions
