Lawyer, Case Handler and Appeals Manager

The Danish Consumer and Competition Authority is seeking 2 results-oriented and versatile lawyers for our Appeals Center.

The position involves legal case processing, guidance, teaching, legislative work, interdisciplinary collaboration, and coordinating functions. We are looking for a legal employee with case handling experience.

You need to be flexible, have a can-do attitude, show social commitment, and thrive on tasks where the solutions are not always predetermined. You should be able to understand new issues and contribute to finding solutions in complex cases – even when we haven't tried it before.

At the same time, you must be able to thrive in a busy everyday life with many tasks. This demands your ability to plan, structure, and prioritize, as well as being proactive and seeking out ways to ensure progress in your tasks.

There may be a possibility of employment as an Appeal Manager if your experience matches the requirements to be hired as a Chief Consultant, or you may potentially be hired as a Specialist Consultant depending on your experience.

As the Appeals Manager, you will take on a coordinating role and set the direction for professionalism.

• Ability to work in a structured manner and shift focus as needed
• Flexibility, thoroughness, and an analytical approach to problem-solving.

We are a public authority where law and economics are at the core of our work. We handle between 600 and 800 cases annually and also contribute to interdisciplinary projects and legislative work.
