Your profile

• Languages: * Fluency in English (the global corporate language).

**Soft Skills & Work Style **

• High Autonomy: Because your direct manager is in a different time zone (China), you must be comfortable working independently, managing your own workflow, and taking initiative.
• Pragmatic & Business-Minded: Ability to provide fast, practical legal solutions that keep business moving, rather than just pointing out legal risks.
• Cross-Cultural Competence: Strong communication skills suited for a multinational matrix organization spanning Europe and Asia.
