Your impact begins here

As our Legal Intern in International Operations, you will help Legal support business teams across APAC markets with greater speed and clarity. You will work on commercial contracts, research regulatory questions and help test AI-enabled tools that simplify legal work. Your contribution will give colleagues practical guidance and reliable documents, so they can focus on bringing treatments and support to people living with serious chronic diseases.

What you’ll bring
We are looking for a motivated student who is:
• Currently pursuing an undergraduate or postgraduate degree in Computing and Law, Law and Technology, Computer Science with legal studies, or another relevant interdisciplinary programme.
• Equipped with coursework or demonstrated knowledge in contract law.
• Strong in legal research, analysis and written communication, with proficiency in Microsoft Office.
• Interested in legal technology, artificial intelligence, automation or data-driven process improvement.
• Curious, commercially minded, detail-oriented and organised.
• Able to work independently while collaborating effectively in a diverse, international team, and handling confidential information responsibly.

Useful, but not essential:
• Exposure to corporate law.
• Familiarity with AI tools, data analysis or basic programming.
• An interest in pharmaceutical, healthcare or life-sciences regulation.

What you’ll do
You will be part of the day-to-day legal work that keeps business moving across APAC, while helping Legal find smarter ways of working.
• Support the review, drafting and administration of commercial contracts, including confidentiality agreements, service agreements and business development documents.
• Conduct legal research on contract law, corporate law, and pharmaceutical and healthcare-related regulatory matters across APAC markets.
• Assist with legal and compliance risk assessments and prepare practical guidance for internal stakeholders.
• Support the development, testing and refinement of AI-enabled tools, templates and workflows for legal knowledge management, contract review and process efficiency.
• Collaborate with colleagues across Legal, Compliance, Business Development and other functions on assigned projects.

Who you’ll work with
You will join Legal in International Operations, where colleagues work across markets to serve people around the world and help improve health at scale. Your work will support the APAC region and connect you with colleagues in Legal, Compliance, Business Development and other functions.

These partnerships help projects move forward: you will bring legal research, drafting and new ideas on AI-enabled ways of working, while learning how business and compliance needs shape legal advice in practice.

What you can expect here
You will gain hands-on experience in an international legal team, working on real contracts, regulatory questions and projects that matter to colleagues across the business. You will be trusted to work independently, make your voice heard and build new skills through collaboration with different functions.

You will also work close to the forefront of AI and technology, as Novo upskills its workforce to advance AI as a driver of innovation for people living with serious chronic diseases. In this role, you will help shape how Legal uses AI-enabled tools in practice.
