We’re looking for a hands-on finance leader to own and build our finance function as we scale. You’ll work side by side with our founders and leadership team on strategic decisions, while still rolling up your sleeves to get the foundations right. This is for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and who wants to have a big impact on how we scale in the future.

About Pandektes

Legal research hasn’t changed much in decades. Lawyers still spend countless hours navigating fragmented sources, outdated systems, and complex databases just to find the information they need.

At Pandektes, we’re changing that.

Our ambition is to build the leading global platform for legal research and the largest AI-powered legal database. By combining artificial intelligence, intelligent search, and continuously updated legal sources, we’re redefining how legal knowledge is accessed, understood, analyzed, and applied.

Pandektes has raised more than €17.5 million and most recently closed a €13.5 million Series A round (October 2026) led by Alstin Capital, PROfounders and Scale Capital. Pandektes already serves more than 450 customers across Denmark, Germany and Switzerland.

We’re still early in the journey, and joining our team now means you’ll have big impact on shaping how we scale.

How we work

We place great value on a vibrant, inspiring, and challenging company culture. This is achieved through a talented and passionate team that believes in achieving great things together.

We believe that ownership is what brings us the best teams – you can expect a lot of freedom and responsibility. The key is open communication, trust, and a shared passion to transform the legal world.
