GROUP LEGAL & COMPLIANCE DIRECTOR
Take your legal career to the next level and consider a move to Odeon Cinemas Group (an AMC Company).
Exciting times lie ahead for our business, as we have recently undergone transformation through acquisition. We are now recruiting to a newly created post of Group Legal & Compliance Director, overseeing the legal team across all countries in the Group.
Based out of our Manchester office, you will be part of an ambitiously growing company. With plans to continue our expansion and profit growth through further acquisitions and development of the existing estate, this opportunity is available for a dynamic and energetic legal professional to get involved in a very special company.
This new role includes responsibility for building and developing teams and capabilities to match the current business scale, complexity and growth aspirations. Integration of newly acquired businesses will be an important aspect. In addition to responsibility for group-wide legal functions, the role also encompasses health, safety & security, risk management, company secretarial, and other compliance.
The role is primarily focused on European environments but includes US compliance responsibilities and liaison with the US parent company.
The successful candidate will be a senior member of the management team and will be expected to contribute to the strategic direction of the group as well as taking responsibility for the day to day detail. A pragmatic and commercial approach to legal & compliance matters will be essential for success with this role.
Key responsibilities:
- Leadership and development of the legal function, spanning 13 countries across Europe with a responsibility to the US parent company.
- Ensure high quality, pragmatic legal advice is provided to manage legal risk across the business.
- Direct involvement in complex business transactions and negotiation of critical contracts.
- Oversee the development of effective legal and compliance frameworks and ensure regulatory requirements are met.
- Liaise closely with AMC on legal requirements for the US parent company.
Essentially, the ideal candidate will have previous experience of managing a legal operation across multiple jurisdictions, ideally from within a retail or leisure business. You will be a qualified Solicitor with excellent leadership skills, as well a strong cultural allegiance to the key values of the business which include: Insight, Accountability, Trust, Respect, Passion and Fun.
This is a senior role for an ambitious individual; this is an exciting time for the organisation, and this is an opportunity for you to define your own professional future. An excellent package is on offer to the successful candidate.
If you are interested in discussing the role in further detail, please do feel free to contact our exclusively retained consultant Hannah Cottam at Sellick Partnership, in complete confidence on 0161 834 1642 or 07867 517650. Alternatively you may prefer to send an email via the Apply button.
