About the company

Having undergone significant growth in recent years, the business recognises that it needs more expertise in order to navigate increasing complex legal and compliance challenges. As such, an experienced part-time In-House Legal & Contract Manager with a commercial contracts background is being sought to join the team.

  • Develop appropriate tools for use as amendments within standard contracts.
  • Track and maintain the status of all signed & outstanding contracts around the business.
  • Work collaboratively with external compliance consultants to ensure the development and implementation of relevant checks & controls across the business, in order to deliver the compliance monitoring plan.
  • Manage relevant professional standards applications & renewals.
  • Oversee general business insurance renewals.
  • Work with senior leaders to fulfil and further develop relevant compliance and regulatory aspects (covering the UK and EMEA) as required by the business.
  • Produce regular board reports on compliance matters, contract issuance stats and workstream progress.
  • Work with key stakeholders to advise upon and shape the design of contracts for newly developed services.
  • Review and update relevant compliance policies, including maintenance of internal registers, ensuring the compliance staff handbook reflects the latest guidance.
  • Track and maintain a record of all business agreements, identifying and managing any special or discreet arrangements as required.
  • Ad-hoc legal matters, working with external counsel as needed.
