Legal Graduate // Demant's Graduate Programme

Welcome to our Graduate Programme. We offer you a career in a leading Danish C25 company, that creates life-changing products for people around the world. We will guide you through a two-year journey here at our headquarters, just outside Copenhagen. You will start on 1 September 2024, where you will join three different teams, working with different projects. This will provide you with a broad business understanding and strong network of people across all functions. You will be given a lot of responsibility from day one to develop your professional and personal skills in the best possible way. After this, you will be offered a permanent position.

As we are operating in more than 30 countries, many of our graduates get the chance to go abroad for half a year, depending on business needs. Besides that, you will join a fantastic network with all the other graduates and can look forward to some fun team days, training sessions and trips to our different business units.

Demant is an inclusive workplace with a truly friendly work environment and the flexibility to work from home parts of the week. Our company language is English. You will also be offered a private health insurance, a free membership in our in-house fitness studio and healthy breakfast, lunch in our canteen and so much more.

Your journey as a Legal graduate
As a Legal Graduate, you will become part of the Global Legal & Compliance function consisting of more than 50 highly skilled and motivated lawyers around the world. The Legal team in Denmark supports top management, as well as all of Demant’s brands, including Oticon, Audika, Philips and EPOS.

The hierarchy is flat, and you will be close to the decision-making processes in Demant where you are working closely together with the business.

We have legal colleagues at sites in the US, Canada, Australia, Poland and France and we imagine that you will have a 6 month stay at one of these sites abroad.

You can look forward to working on various areas such as risk management, compliance and data privacy. The biggest area, however, will be legal in a broader sense.

When carrying out your tasks, you will work with colleagues in Finance, Operations, R&D, Marketing, and subsidiaries around the world allowing you to obtain an in-depth understanding of Demant’s business.

We would like to get to know you
To apply for our programme, you are just about to graduate, or have graduated no more than two years ago, with a relevant degree as cand.jur., cand.merc.jur. or equivalent. You are a top performer with excellent achievements in your studies, through your (student) work experience or extracurricular activities. You have furthermore gained international experience through a semester or internship abroad or similar. And last, you are fluent in English.

As a person, we believe that you like to collaborate with others and have a high drive and passion for what you do. You are both strategic and pragmatic and go for the ambitious goal. You have a curious mindset, are hardworking, and - most important - humble.
