Job Details
This is a unique opportunity for a junior-mid level lawyer to join a world-leading data tech business; you'll have an immediate affiliation with them as soon as you understand the work they do. This opportunity has come about due to an internal promotion; you'll report into the Senior Legal Counsel that provided this mentoring and support to the promoted lawyer.
You'll work in an autonomous, hands-on role with a focus on technology, procurement and data protection. You will support and advise on a wide variety of legal matters including:
- Commercial agreements related to technology including SaaS
- Data protection and GDPR across the business
- Procurement - including technology and other necessary contracts
You will also liaise with external lawyers and stakeholders across the business.
This role is best suited to a junior-mid level lawyer (approximately 1-3 PQE); you'll have trained at a highly regarded law firm or have spent time in-house at a well-known tech/data processing business.
This may be your first role in-house, or you may have spent some time on secondment within a commercial organization. You will need to be bright, confident and an assured self-starter to thrive in this fast-paced environment.
In return you'll work alongside excellent lawyers in a lean legal function, as well as benefit from a competitive salary and bonus scheme. This is a great role for an ambitious individual who wants to influence a global business and be an integral part of the continued growth.
Please note our advertisements use PQE/salary levels purely as a guide. However we are happy to consider applications from all candidates who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary to fulfil the role.
Please note that your personal information will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
