Marie-Cécile Stutvoet (Director Legal & Contracts and Chief Compliance Officer):
Being a legal counsel and contract manager at Thales surpasses the legal métier. You are in the middle of a business that is strongly driven by both safety and commerce. Often in a complex political and cultural environment. After all, the world is our stage! We follow the rhythm of our customers, which requires flexibility. Apart from commercial sensitivity, being able to identify risks ànd risk mitigating measures is of the utmost important. Those mitigating measures will hardly ever be established contractually, however. It’s up to you to find the best solutions to this ongoing challenge. Sounds like a great fit? We’d love to hear from you!
