Job description

Our client is a leading international CDMO, working with the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies. Their small but high level legal team now seeks a further skilled lawyer to also make their mark within a developing organisation.

Reporting to the GC, the role will have a broad commercial legal remit, mainly focusing on larger scale, high value commercial contracts (significantly manufacturing) but also assisting with broader legal issues such as corporate and compliance matters, whilst working with and instructing outside counsel.

They are ideally seeking a life sciences lawyer who has experience within a CMO or CDMO or experience of working on manufacturing contracts with a pharmaceutical, biotech or medical devices company.

The role can be based in or close to one of two locations close to Manchester or in Norfolk and would require 3 days in the office.
