About Sponge
We work closely with some of the biggest global brands to unleash the potential of their people and deliver better workplace performance through creative digital learning. By harnessing the power of creativity, we enable businesses to access a new world of interactive experience to enthuse their people while they learn. We work from concept through to delivery and recruit for roles across our creative production areas, sales and marketing, HR and finance. With a strong collaborative culture, and ambitious growth plans there has never been a better time to get seriously creative and join our team.
About You
Commercially grounded with a breath of experience in commercial law, you will help to safeguard the business by providing comprehensive inhouse legal support aimed at mitigating the challenges and risks faced by a rapidly expanding global business.
An excellent communicator you utilise your internal and external client facing skills to effectively navigate complexities and collaborate with stakeholders to generate positive outcomes. With a practical and pragmatic approach, you deduce meaning from ambiguous input in order to effectively ensure legal complexities are commercially justifiable.
Results driven, and deadline focused, you thrive under pressure. Demonstrating impeccable commercial acumen, analytical and critical thinking skills, you adapt and manage multiple projects of varying complexity in a fast-paced commercial environment.
Confident and resilient, you never shy away from a challenge. Keeping up to date with the latest advancements, you are ready to challenge and re-shape the current state of play.
Perks of the job
We can offer you a number of great benefits. From the things you would expect like a pension, income protection and death in service, to the slightly unexpected, like a day off for your birthday or free breakfast every day. Learn always is one of our values, so we support this with a dedicated people development team and training through Sponge University. We love to socialise and have a team dedicated to arranging get togethers and events throughout the year.
