Siemens Digital Industries Software (DI SW) is an innovative and fast-growing business, which launches many new products and acquires multiple new businesses each year.

This will require close cross-functional collaboration and alignment with senior-level representatives of DI SW’s global Go-to-Market and Sales Operations organization, as well as newly acquired businesses and members of other departments, who count on you to advise on complex legal issues in an easily understandable and digestible manner. You will support our digital sales channels and strategic projects related to launching, acquiring and onboarding new products, new businesses, new business models, and new business channels, and will report on the status and completion thereof to global senior management.
