As Senior Counsel for Volvo’s growing autonomous (driverless) transportation business, you would be instrumental in building its legal and compliance department in the United States. You would be responsible for counseling the company on issues related to transportation regulatory rules; this will involve interacting with federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation (including the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration), and providing legal counsel on related regulations such as EPA’s Clean Air Act and NHTSA’s Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You would work closely with global Volvo Autonomous Solutions AB counsel in Europe and will travel periodically to Sweden.

Work for an industry leader with a collaborative culture

A highly-regarded and well-managed industry leader known for its collaborative and innovative environment, Volvo Group is committed to paving the way towards a more sustainable future.

In this position, you will become a key member of an international legal team that offers unmatched opportunities for personal and professional development. You will take an active role in the day-to-day business operations of the group and will have the opportunity to shape issues and establish company policies in an evolving practice area.

Live in an ideally-sized, low-cost city

According to the recently released index of emerging housing markets compiled by The Wall Street Journal and Realtor.com, this opening is located in one of the top metro areas for home buyers looking for an appreciating housing market, a strong local economy, and appealing lifestyle amenities. North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad offers a cost of living below the national average and housing costs significantly lower than in many other major metro areas. Not only are commutes stress-free, but you’ll be located within a short jaunt to and from the major cities in North Carolina. There’s no shortage of things to do! Locals can spend a day in the mountains to the west or head east for a beach weekend. Or they can stay closer to home and enjoy Greensboro’s delicious food, craft beer, and great coffee shops. Admittedly, NC’s summers can be very hot and humid, but winters are milder than in cities to the north. And you’ll enjoy the variety of four distinct seasons. Relocation financial assistance may be provided.
