About Kustom
Kustom was born in 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden, when Klarna Checkout became so successful it earned a life of its own. Since then, we've grown into one of Europe's leading checkout solutions, with a team of more than 100 people all driven by the same mission: giving every business the checkout it deserves.
We believe the best solutions aren't built in isolation. Kustom gives merchants the freedom to shape their own checkout by connecting to a growing network of 100+ partners. We handle the complexity behind the scenes, making sure every shopper enjoys the best possible experience. That way, growth happens freely, without compromises or closed loops.
Today, Kustom serves more than 24,000 merchants across 170 markets and has converted more than 25 million shoppers.
The role
As Legal Counsel, you'll be responsible for Kustom's day-to-day commercial legal work, from merchant and partner agreements and complex negotiations to automating our legal processes. As a trusted internal advisor, you'll lead your matters independently, from first draft to signature.
Commercial work is the core of the role, but it doesn't stop there. You'll also take part in larger projects including M&A and post-acquisition integration and product legal projects covering, among other things, data privacy, payments and consumer legislation.
You'll work in a fast-paced environment where Legal is a key enabler of growth. We use AI as a tool to work efficiently, so we can spend our time where legal judgment matters most. We focus on the risks that are material to the business, and build processes that let standard agreements be signed without legal involvement.
You'll be part of a small legal team in Stockholm and report to the Head of Legal.
Things you'll be doing
Commercial contracting. Draft, review and negotiate merchant, partner and vendor agreements, from standard terms to bespoke deals with larger counterparties. Your counterparties range from merchants to platform and e-commerce partners, payment service providers, banks and technology vendors.
Advise the business. Be the first point of contact for the commercial organisation and a pragmatic sparring partner to the product, operations, risk and finance teams. Give clear advice fast and if needed negotiate directly with counterparties and their lawyers.
Scale legal with AI. Develop how we use AI in our legal work, and improve templates, playbooks and approval flows so straightforward agreements move without legal involvement.
M&A and integration. Work on M&A together with the Head of Legal, including the legal side of post-acquisition integration, covering everything from contract migration to merchant and partner transitions.
Product legal projects. Work with the product team on larger legal projects, such as data privacy, payments legislation and consumer law.
Corporate and company law. Support on company law matters across the group, including board and shareholder matters and corporate housekeeping.
Skills and experience you'll need
A Swedish law degree (jur.kand. or juristexamen).
Around three years of experience, either from a top-tier business law firm with a focus on commercial contracts and/or M&A and corporate law or in-house experience from fintech, payments or e-commerce.
A track record of owning negotiations end to end and drafting high-quality agreements.
Hands-on experience of using AI tools in your legal work.
Fluent in Swedish and English, spoken and written.
Experience of data privacy, payments regulation or consumer credit legislation is a plus.
We believe you'll thrive in this role if you
Take ownership and move things forward without waiting to be told what to do.
Enjoy a high pace and stay structured when many matters compete for your time.
Are commercially minded and know how to balance legal risk against business priorities.
Like working close to the business and can make complex questions simple.
Are always looking for smarter ways of working and see AI as a natural part of how legal work gets done.
Benefits
Secure your future with a competitive pension package, including both national and occupational pension contributions.
Comprehensive health coverage with extensive health insurance, long-term illness protection, and flexible salary exchange options.
Invest in your wellbeing with an annual wellness allowance of 3,000 SEK to spend on the activities that keep you healthy and energized.
More time to enjoy life with an extra day off when major holidays, such as Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve, fall on a weekend.
A place to grow
At Kustom, you won't just be another face in the crowd. This is a place where we elevate each other and celebrate success as a team. We believe in our ability to create excellence - and have fun doing it!
We know we set high expectations, but we also know that the road to success isn't a straight line. We support and encourage each other to try, to fail, to try again. Because that's how we grow, individually and together.
Does this sound like the place for you?
