Description

Legal Counsel (Automotive):

Mercedes-Benz Canada needs stars like you!
Mercedes-Benz is the world’s first automotive brand, and remains at the cutting-edge of sustainability, design, digitalization, connectivity, technology, fashion, and popular culture.

The iconic three-pointed star is always looking for the best and brightest. We are seeking individuals who want to be in the driver’s seat of transformation, working alongside talented colleagues who represent the Mercedes-Benz values.

Do you want to be part of writing the next chapter of the Mercedes-Benz story?

How your role will add to the story:
As Legal Counsel, you will provide expert legal support to our automotive business, ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You will work closely with business leaders, advising on commercial, regulatory, and operational matters, and play a key role in managing legal risk across the organization.

A day in the life:

  • Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements.
  • Advise on regulatory compliance, including relating to privacy law, and data protection (including PIPEDA or other relevant frameworks).
  • Support the launch and development of new digital products and services, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
  • Provide legal guidance on consumer protection issues, including advertising, warranties, product liability, and digital sales channels.
  • Monitor legal developments in privacy, consumer protection, and the automotive sector, proactively communicating relevant changes to internal stakeholders.
  • Conduct legal research and prepare memoranda on complex legal issues.
  • Deliver training to business teams.
  • Maintain high standards of professional ethics and confidentiality at all times.

Mercedes-Benz Canada is committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and accessible environment where all employees and customers feel valued, respected, and supported. While we thank every applicant for their interest in joining our iconic brand, we will only contact applicants selected for an interview.

Testimonials from several Mercedes-Benz Canada stars, from an intern to an executive:

“Mercedes-Benz is more than a car brand; it’s a futuristic, technological brand continuing to research and evolve its strategy as a digital and luxurious company, all while championing sustainable initiatives.”

“This company grants its members the opportunity to professionally grow and discover the extent of the brand and its presence in all countries. You are granted the opportunity to drive innovation in several sectors, as this company allows you to take your career wherever you like with our very robust framework of opportunities, whether it’s rotations, international assignments, education programs and more.”

“As an intern, I feel a great sense of responsibility and accountability at Mercedes-Benz. The high level of responsibility and contribution found in our internship programs is unlike my experience anywhere else.”

“Most people, if not everyone, seek a great balance of life at work and outside of it. At Mercedes-Benz, not only does your work life grant you exciting opportunities, but you are also afforded great understanding of your time outside of work - including the right to disconnect.”

“Working for Mercedes-Benz, it’s certainly the brand and the pillars - but at the end of the day, once you’re in, it’s about the people, the experience, diverse cultures and backgrounds, everyone’s experience driving in one direction.”

Die Mercedes-Benz Group AG ist eines der erfolgreichsten Automobilunternehmen der Welt. Mit den Geschäftsfeldern Mercedes-Benz Cars & Vans und Mercedes-Benz Mobility gehören wir zu den größten und erfolgreichsten Anbietern von PKW und Vans im Luxus- und Premium-Segment.

Wir haben den Anspruch, die begehrenswertesten Automobile der Welt zu bauen. Nachhaltigkeit ist dabei unser Leitprinzip. Denn die Welt verändert sich mit hoher Dynamik. Nachhaltigkeit, Umwelt- und Klimaschutz zählen zu den drängendsten Themen unserer Zeit. Diesen Herausforderungen stellen wir uns. Mit unserem strategischen Schritt „Electric only“ beschleunigen wir die Transformation in eine emissionsfreie und softwaregetriebene Zukunft. Ab 2025 wird unsere Pkw-Neuwagenflotte ausschließlich elektrisch sein und keine relevanten Auswirkungen mehr auf die innerstädtische Luftqualität haben. Mit unserer Ambition 2039 haben wir uns zum Ziel gesetzt, entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette CO2-neutral zu werden – von sozial- und klimafreundlich abgebauten Rohstoffen über die Lieferkette und die Produktion der Fahrzeuge bis hin zur Nutzungsphase und Recyclingkonzepten. Damit setzen wir Maßstäbe für eine nachhaltige Mobilität von Morgen.

Unsere Beschäftigten sind die Basis für unseren Erfolg. Wir freuen uns auf Menschen, die unsere Visionen mitgestalten wollen. Denn wir sind davon überzeugt, dass individuelle Mobilität auch in Zukunft ein Grundbedürfnis der Menschen bleiben wird. Wir gehen davon aus, dass der Markt für nachhaltigen Luxus im automobilen Bereich weiter wächst. Auch die gewerbliche Personenbeförderung und der Gütertransport sind eine tragende Säule unseres Geschäfts und ein stetig wachsender Markt im Bereich der Transporter. Wachstums- und Gewinnchancen sehen wir zusätzlich bei Finanzdienstleistungen, im Flottenmanagement sowie bei digitalen, vernetzten Mobilitätslösungen.

Wir bieten attraktive internationale Einstiegs- und Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten. In einem modernen und flexiblen Arbeitsumfeld können unsere Beschäftigten ihren Ideen freien Lauf lassen. Bei der Arbeit in internationalen, fachübergreifenden Teams können sie ihre Stärken ausbauen. Dabei profitieren sie von flexiblen Arbeitszeitmodellen, einem vielfältigen Gesundheits- und Sportangebot und einem attraktiven Gehalt mit Sonderleistungen.
