Senior Legal Counsel

JR United Kingdom; West Midlands Combined Authority; Hybrid; GBP 90,000 - 104,000; Full time

Job description

Join a Leading business with a collaborative Legal Team where you will be the Senior Lawyer reporting to the General Counsel.

Are you an experienced In-House Legal Counsel (at least 4 years PQE) looking for a dynamic, broad-based role in a successful and long-established market-leading business? This is your chance to take on a key position within a supportive, collaborative team while handling diverse legal matters and playing a leading role in improving systems and driving innovation. You must be experienced in making key decisions, balancing risk and commercial realities and be able to work collaboratively across the business. Existing In-House experience is an absolute pre-requisite for this role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage all aspects of legal matters for the business, with a primary focus on commercial contracts.
• Oversee and advise on project work, litigation, compliance, and M&A activities.
• Work alongside a dedicated team of legal professionals who support you in all areas of corporate and commercial law (excluding property and employment, which are outsourced).
• Build close working relationships with senior leadership and key stakeholders across the organisation.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Competitive salary of up to mid-£90Ks.
• Excellent benefits including a car allowance, bonus scheme, and a generous pension.
• Hybrid working with three days a week in the office, offering flexibility and work-life balance.
• A friendly, sociable team with a strong culture of collaboration and support.
• Excellent progression prospects within a well-established, market-leading business. Real scope to step up to a leadership position.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking legal team, offering a unique chance to grow and make an impact in a strong and ethical business. This is a senior role which will suit an existing ambitious In-House lawyer, looking to take on increased responsibilities and influence not only the team but the business as a whole. If you're looking for a varied, rewarding role in a supportive environment, we'd love to hear from you!
