Qualifications
Applicants must hold a Law degree from a recognised institution and have at least one year of experience in a legal or paralegal role—either in-house, at a firm, or within HR—where they gained hands-on exposure to legal documentation. Strong written and spoken English (Upper-Intermediate or higher) is essential, as is fluency in Ukrainian. Candidates should demonstrate genuine interest in administrative precision and take satisfaction in well-executed operational tasks.
You must be able to research unfamiliar legal systems, interpret regulations, and apply findings practically. Clear communication, professionalism when interacting with cross-functional teams, and a strong commitment to confidentiality and ethics are required. Prior focus on Labour or Employment Law is highly beneficial.
