Job description

Corporate Lawyer & Assistant Company Secretary

Commercial contracts and company secretarial work

12-month contract role

Our client is a well-known, highly respected consumer goods company with a friendly, busy, expert inhouse legal team.

An opportunity has arisen for a commercial lawyer with company secretarial skills to join the team for a contract period of 12 months. The work is fascinating and varied, with plenty of client contact as well as support from your legal colleagues.

You are ‘between roles’ or working in a law firm or corporate and keen to take on a short-term contract in a respected inhouse team. You have at least 4 years’ experience in contractual advice and drafting as well as some company secretarial experience, much like an assistant company secretary.

You relate well to people at all levels and have the energy and enthusiasm to make a valuable contribution to this very successful organisation. You can be relied on to bring attention to detail and strong organisational skills to the company secretarial tasks and a service-oriented, practical approach to procurement contracts across supply, transport and technology.

Hybrid work arrangement if desired (2 days work from home available).
