The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation. Leasing is becoming more common, and there´s a growing demand for seamless integration between digital platforms and physical dealerships. At Mercedes-Benz, we aim to lead this change. We believe in delivering a fully-fledged digital experience for our customers, while also creating exceptional in-person encounters at our retail locations, where customers can meet our Mercedes-Benz experts. By integrating these two worlds — supported by our iconic brand and products — we´re building a strong competitive advantage.

We are now looking for a Head of Legal & Compliance that will lead our legal and compliance team in Sweden and Denmark!

About the position

As Head of Legal & Compliance at Mercedes-Benz Sweden/Denmark, you will lead and coordinate the daily operations of our cross-functional team. Your focus will be on compliance programs and legal matters across all business activities in both Mercedes-Benz Sverige and Mercedes-Benz Danmark. You´ll work closely with various departments and lead a team of Compliance and Legal Specialists, primarily addressing topics related to the distribution of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars and vans, after-sales services, and other connected offerings.

Your main responsibilities will be:

Leadership

• Lead, motivate, manage, and develop the Legal & Compliance team, recognizing each team member´s strengths and expertise to achieve shared goals.

Legal

• Manage all legal matters of Mercedes-Benz Sverige AB and Mercedes-Benz Danmark A/S and related legal entities in Sweden and Denmark.

This includes:

• Advising management and business units on legal aspects of decision-making.
• Analyzing legal issues in areas such as commercial law, automotive law, contracts, antitrust, IP, and consumer law.
• Structuring business models from a legal perspective and proposing viable alternatives when needed.
• Drafting, coordinating, and negotiating legal documents (contracts, correspondence, corporate documents) internally and externally.
• Monitoring legal developments and regulatory updates, ensuring necessary adjustments to policies and processes, and providing ongoing legal training.
• Ensuring compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines.
• Managing litigation and proceedings, including selecting and overseeing external counsel.
• Coordinating significant legal matters with your counterpart at Mercedes-Benz headquarters in Germany.

Compliance

• Lead, coordinate and operationally work on the maintenance of an effective Compliance Management System for all relevant areas at the Mercedes-Benz Cars and Vans business units in Sweden and Denmark, in line with corporate standards and local regulations. Our compliance programs span anti-corruption and fraud, sanctions lists, anti-money laundering, antitrust and data protection.

This includes ensuring:

• Conducting compliance risk assessments, performance monitoring, and reporting.
• Supporting local management in implementing and maintaining effective compliance programs.
• Promoting compliance and integrity awareness across the organization.
• Securing collaboration and support from management and employees.
• Establishing governance structures and procedures for oversight.
• Implementing clear standards for ethical and business conduct.
• Applying risk-based control procedures.
• Delivering ongoing communication and training on compliance topics to internal stakeholders and external partners.

This role reports to the Legal & Compliance function at Mercedes-Benz headquarters in Germany, with a dotted line to the CEO. This is a full-time position based in Malmö, with frequent travel to our Danish office, with occasional trips to Germany.

About you

We´re looking for someone with a Swedish and/or Danish law degree and at least 8–10 years of relevant legal experience, either from a law firm or an in-house role. Proven leadership experience is essential. You should have a strong grasp of distribution models and commercial agreements and be adept at problem-solving in a global context.

You´re a skilled communicator and excel in stakeholder management. You thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments, can juggle multiple priorities, and bring structure and clarity to complex situations.
