Hi from your manager! 👋🏼
Hi! I’m Anna, I am the General Counsel of Hemnet Group, and I lead Hemnet’s Legal team. 👋
If you’re looking for a trainee role where you get to work hands-on and by that build a broad legal foundation,, feel truly included as a valued team-member, grow fast, and work close to a tech-driven business; this could be a great match.
I see this role as a real win-win: you’ll be part of a supportive and genuinely lovely team, contributing from day one and adding real value - while also learning a lot and building a strong foundation for your future career. You won’t be “on the side” as a trainee. You’ll truly be part of the team, working on a broad variety of legal tasks and also taking ownership of a few areas of your own such as being the first point of contact in our different inflow channels. .
As a manager, I’m deeply invested in my team’s development. I’m driven by seeing people grow and I see myself as the biggest supporter of my team members’ development. My goal with this role is to give you a solid platform going into your next step, whatever direction you choose within the legal space.
And if you’re curious about technology, you’ll love this: we’re actively exploring and using cutting-edge AI tools to improve legal processes, so you’ll also get the opportunity to work with the future of legal operations.
A note on inclusion 💚
At Hemnet, we believe that diversity in gender, sexual orientation, ability, neurodiversity, cultural background and life experience makes us stronger. We welcome applicants of all identities and backgrounds.
If you meet many but not all of the requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value curiosity, a strong sense of purpose and the motivation to learn and grow, alongside your skills and experiences.
