The posting

Klarna, briefly

At Klarna, we're building an everyday finance network, helping over 120 million consumers across 26 countries save time and money, and worry less about their finances. Working at Klarna means taking on problems most companies never get to solve, and being hands-on enough that the interesting part of the work lands with you, not someone else. You'll build with AI, not watch it happen.

This is the stretch zone. Come find out what you're capable of.

About the role

Employment law rarely stays the same from one market to the next — what works in one can create real problems in another. As Klarna's legal team handles employment matters across multiple markets, you'll work in a genuinely international setting: handling individual cases, projects, and labour relations across a range of jurisdictions.

You'll be UK-based, working closely with our Head of Employment Law and Labour Relations, who is based in Sweden. You'll be part of the Legal domain, but day to day you'll mostly be working with your stakeholders in the People domain.

We're looking for someone who thrives working independently and who is confident in owning decisions rather than just executing on instruction.

What you'll do

  • You'll advise the business on employment law and labour relations matters in the jurisdictions where Klarna has employees — primarily, EU, the UK and North America.
  • You'll draft, review, and adapt employment-related documentation and policies to match each jurisdiction's specific rules.
  • You'll manage individual employee matters across the full employment lifecycle.
  • You'll manage relationships with employee representatives and unions as part of Klarna's labour relations work.
  • You'll support projects across the business that need employment law considerations and input.

Who you are

  • You have around 3–5 years' experience practicing employment law.
  • You're qualified (or equivalently experienced) in UK employment law.
  • You've been exposed to the cross-border and global aspects of employment law, not just a single-market view.
  • You're comfortable managing your own caseload day to day, and keen to keep building your judgment through hands-on experience.

Bonus points for

  • You've advised on employment law in more than one jurisdiction.
  • Experience practicing employment law in-house — either directly, or through a secondment from a law firm into an in-house team.
  • Experience with US employment law, alongside the UK.
  • Experience advising on remuneration and compensation structures in a regulated financial institution (e.g. EBA/CRD-type remuneration rules).
  • A background at a larger law firm.
  • Experience at a fast-moving, modern company with a lean HR function — fintech or tech more broadly.

Things you should know before applying

  • Working together: we value co-located teams; most teams currently meet in the office 2–3 days per week, and this varies by team and can change over time.
  • Non-obvious backgrounds are welcome. Diversity of skills, perspectives and backgrounds is how we create, innovate, and disrupt like no other.
  • Final compensation will be based on the candidate's qualifications, skills, and experience.

Please include a CV in English. Concrete beats comprehensive — what you built, what it did, what it cost.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
