Paralegal to Camurus

About the company

Are you an experienced paralegal looking for a broad role in an international and purpose-driven company? At Camurus, you will join the Legal & IP Department at the HQ in Lund and become part of a collaborative team supporting a wide range of legal, corporate and operational matters. You will work closely with colleagues and external stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions while contributing to the continued development of the legal function.

Camurus has operations across Europe, the US, and Australia, with headquarters in Lund Sweden. The company’s shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker CAMX.

Your tasks

This is a broad role combining legal administration with more qualified legal work. You will own and coordinate contract-related, corporate and legal administrative processes across the organisation, serving as a key point of contact for related matters. Alongside your day-to-day responsibilities, you will play an active role in developing and improving the legal function through legal operations initiatives, process improvements and the use of AI tools.

Your main responsibilities will include

• Drafting, reviewing and finalising standard-form agreements such as NDAs, consultancy agreements, sponsorship agreements, data processing agreements and Healthcare Professional/Healthcare Organisation agreements (HCP/HCO).
• Coordinating contract execution, digital signatures and administration of the contract archive.
• Supporting corporate matters for Camurus’ international subsidiaries, including board and shareholder documentation, annual general meetings, corporate registrations, and coordination of notarisation and apostille of corporate documents.
• Coordinating KYC processes, including the collection and verification of ownership and shareholder information.
• Driving process improvements, legal operations initiatives and the use of legal technology and AI tools.

Requirements

We are looking for a structured, proactive and service-minded professional who enjoys taking ownership and ensures things get done. You are curious and enjoy understanding the rationale behind agreements and legal processes, rather than simply administering them. With a continuous improvement mindset, you take initiative and are motivated by finding smarter and more efficient ways of working.

To succeed in this role, we believe you have:

• At least five years of experience as a Paralegal, Legal Assistant, Legal Coordinator or in a similar role.
• Experience managing legal and corporate administrative processes independently.
• A solid understanding of contracts and the ability to make sound assessments, not only administer agreements.
• Strong organisational and stakeholder management skills.
• High integrity and discretion when handling sensitive information.

It is considered a strong advantage if you have:

• Experience from the pharmaceutical, biotech, life sciences or other highly regulated industries.
• Experience working in-house.
• Knowledge of Swedish corporate law and subsidiary administration.
• An interest in legal operations and AI-enabled ways of working.

Given the international nature of the role, you should be highly proficient in English, both written and spoken. Swedish is strongly preferred, but we are open to candidates with a good working knowledge of Swedish who are motivated to continue developing their language skills.

What we offer

At Camurus, you will join a purpose-driven company where innovation and collaboration go hand in hand. You will become part of a collaborative and non-hierarchical culture where people work closely across functions and levels, and where initiative and teamwork are highly valued.

We offer a stable and long-term opportunity in an organisation with ambitious growth plans and a meaningful mission, dedicated to improving the lives of patients worldwide.
