Legal Director - Netherlands: Growth&Compliance Lead, Amsterdam
Advertentietekst
This is a unique opportunity to join Verisure Netherlands as Legal Director, reporting directly to the Managing Director Netherlands and serving as a key member of the local Management Team.

Verisure Netherlands has evolved rapidly over recent years— from entrepreneurial scale‑up to a much larger, more visible and complex organisation. With greater exposure, our processes have been stretched. Still, the category remains significantly under‑penetrated, and we are entering another marathon of growth.

This means we are now very deliberately investing in maturing our leadership (new Managing Director, HR Director and Marketing Director), governance and ways of working at the same pace as the business grows.

This is not a“business as usual” legal role.

The new Legal Director will have a clear mandate to professionalise, raise the bar and deliver tangible quick wins at MT level but also build the legal foundations required for sustainable, long‑term growth.

Ideal Candidate

Wants to have impact quickly, not in three years’ time

Enjoys building, shaping and raising standards

Sees opportunity where others may see complexity

You would fully own the Dutch legal agenda, combining hands‑on execution with a commercial, pragmatic mindset. You would work closely with the MD, Marketing, Operations and Sales, while also benefiting from the support of colleagues in more mature markets and the wider Group Legal function. You would also be part of a strong Group Legal community, led byour Group Chief Legal Officer, Nina Cronstedt, and frequently recognised in the

Legal 500 GC Powerlist .

We are one of Europe’s fastest‑growing and most profitable businesses, driven by a clear mission: to protect what matters most. With low market penetration and a resilient recurring revenue model, the runway for growth is vast—making this an exciting time to join.
