Who are you?
To be a good fit as a Klarna legal problem solver, you’ve frequently found yourself thinking three steps ahead and reading the thoughts of people sitting across the table. First, you always ask yourself, “What’s best for the company? Couldn’t we do it this other way instead?” Second, you are obsessed with engaging with your customers and work hard to develop personal relationships with key business partners. Third, you pay attention to the smallest detail without losing the bird’s-eye, overall business perspective. You have likely thought long and hard about what makes people trust you and your judgment and spent time thinking about how to simplify legal concepts and communicate them plainly. Fourth, you see problems as opportunities and take the initiative to make changes and improvements. Finally, you are passionate about your job and enjoy a fast-paced international working environment.
