Sweep is hiring a Legal Intern for 6 months, tasked with proactively addressing legal issues, and turning Sweep into an authoritative voice on how companies can achieve sustainability goals. 

Sweep maps climate and ESG data across an entire business to reduce carbon emissions, improve social and environmental performance, and create audit-ready reports to run the best sustainability programs. Sweep empowers companies to build resilience to global challenges with technology.

Ok, sounds promising. What will I be doing?

As a Legal Intern, you will have the opportunity to work closely with the Legal Director on issues that are critical to the advancement of the mission of our company and customers.

You will be tackling into real world challenges that need an acute mind and a whole lot of creativity, within a dynamic working environment.

You’re a self-motivator who seeks to be challenged and who pursues excellence in everything you do. That said, you’ve got a firm sense of balance – beyond having a serious passion for law, you also have interests outside of the library and are keen to share them with your colleagues.

To be more specific, this includes:

• Perform legal research and ensure legal monitoring.

• Participate in the drafting and negotiation of contracts.

• Contribute to set-up of reliable and up-to-date legal process documentation.

• Help draft internal policies.

• Ensure the follow-up of pre-litigation / litigation.

• Advise all departments on various subjects (digital law, regulatory compliance, employment law, contract law, IP law, competition law, etc.).

At Sweep, artificial intelligence is part of how we work, learn, and build. Every team member uses AI tools daily to speed up operations, improve decision making, and unlock creativity. We don’t expect you to be an expert on day one, but we do expect curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and the desire to use AI as a true partner in your work.

Whether it’s analyzing information, drafting content, improving workflows, designing better employee experiences, or supporting distributed teams, you’ll use AI to work faster and smarter. We provide guidance, tools, and best practices so you can get the most out of it.

We’re looking for candidates who already have hands-on experience with AI tools in a professional setting. You should be comfortable using AI to support your daily work, enhance productivity, and create new solutions. If you naturally reach for AI to amplify what you do, you’ll feel right at home here

That sounds just right for me. What do I need to bring?
