In this role, you will be primarily responsible for a wide range of commercial contracts, specifically contracts concerning fundraising. Your responsibilities will also include marketing and IP matters as well as managing complex files. The organisation is constantly seeking to push the boundaries and drive awareness and change; as a result, you will be working in a fast paced environment and you will need to be flexible and adaptable in your approach.
