Attributes required:
Commercial flair: while legal skills/function are important, the head of legal will be expected to enable and unlock future business opportunities. Reporting directly to the CEO you will be consulted on all business ventures to ensure they are optimised in full.

You will be flagging current and future changes in the industry and ensuring relevant learning and development.
The business vibe is one of dynamic entrepreneurialism where individuals are encouraged to be proactive. Accordingly, a ‘can do’ disposition is important, as is the ability to help shape optimal outcomes for the business'.
