About you

• Curiosity, adaptability and an appetite to work with a business experiencing ongoing technology and product transformation.
• Experience in technology, intellectual property, competition and consumer law, content licensing, SaaS, AI or legal technology would be advantageous, but you don't need to tick every box.
