A highly recognised retailer just outside FTSE 100 is looking for a commercial counsel with procurement experience to join their legal team.
As part of the commercial team, your core responsibilities will be to draft and negotiate commercial contracts and take the lead in terms of their several thousand, high value supplier agreements. You will also be encouraged to get involved in the wider remit of the team including providing legal advice on a range of issues from disputes to addressing stakeholder concerns and adding value where ever possible to the business. Ideal candidates will be commercially minded as you will be encouraged to form excellent relationships with the company’s different business units and support lawyers across the international group.
My client is looking for a commercial lawyer with between 2 and 6 years PQE. Previous experience with procurement agreements and good and services is essential and previous in-house experience would be highly advantageous. Ideal candidates will thrive in a fast paced environment and be a strong team player when under pressure. This is an excellent opportunity for a junior to mid-level lawyer to develop their career in a core function of one of the most recognised brands in the UK.
