Our customers expect to be dazzled. Whether it’s TV, mobile, home phone or super-fast broadband services across the UK, at Virgin Media we’re 110% focused on making their lives easier, richer and a little bit more fun.
It’s doing things differently. It’s changing the game. And to make that happen our people need to be a little bit different too. Forget about pen pushers and clock watchers. Our people are super sharp, switched on, flexible, friendly, and up for any challenge. So if you join us as Head of Legal- Employment & Pensions, get ready for something new.
Our legal department plays a key role in Virgin Media’s success in a challenging and dynamic industry. Partnering with the business, and working with the Legal Director, you will be accountable for a broad range of significant matters of a strategic/financial value, taking responsibility for all legal matters concerning employment, employee benefits and pensions.
It is vital that you are dynamic, highly articulate and a recognised expert with the gravitas required for a senior role. You will also need to demonstrate an ability to actively manage a team of senior direct reports. Deep knowledge of contentious and non-contentious employment law will be a given, and experience in employee benefits, pensions, share schemes and trade union matters will be highly valued. Being proactive and having strong stakeholder management skills will also go with the territory. We expect that you will have at least 8 years of post-qualification experience gained with a reputable law firm or in-house, although we encourage applications from anyone with the relevant skills and experience.
Join and you’ll be part of the Virgin Media family. You can trust us to do the right thing by you. We’re a great place to work – and we offer impressive benefits too. Get ready for a generous holiday allowance, contributory pension, performance related bonus and, of course, discounts on our fantastic mobile, broadband and cable.
