This role would suit someone looking to further develop their in‑house experience within a supportive legal function.

The role offers exposure to a broad range of commercial and legal matters, with direct visibility of how legal considerations support business decision-making.

• Manage a varied portfolio of contracts, including some more complex agreements, with guidance where needed.
• Ensure contracts are completed in a timely manner and aligned to business objectives.
• Identify risks and elevate non‑standard or higher‑risk contractual issues to the Head of Legal as appropriate.
• Provide legal input and support to stakeholders on contract‑related queries.
• Support teams across Sales, Commercial, Marketing, IT and Finance to facilitate deal execution.
• Assist with queries relating to contractual obligations and risk.

Compliance and Data Protection

• Provide support on compliance and data protection matters as required by the Head of Legal.
• Assist with maintaining appropriate records and processes where needed.

• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage a busy workload.
• Good attention to detail and ability to work with a degree of independence.
• Confidence working with non‑legal stakeholders.
• Practical and commercially minded with a solutions‑focused approach.
• Able to work independently on day‑to‑day matters while recognising when to elevate.
• Strong communicator with ability to build relationships across the business.
