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 Legal Counsel - Content 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 Head of Legal - Content, you will provide commercially focussed and accurate legal advice to our Digital Entertainment team on a broad range of commercial and contractual issues including strategic deals with rights holders and content providers.
It is vital that you are dynamic, highly articulate and able to provide commercial legal advice. The ability to analyse complex legal and commercial issues, developing a strategy and arguing points in concise succinct nature is essential, as is expert knowledge of intellectual property and new media rights, and experience in negotiating and drafting of digital media, content and carriage agreements. Being proactive and having strong stakeholder management skills also goes with the territory at Virgin Media. We expect that you will have at least 4 years of post-qualification experience, ideally within the media industry, 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.
