Job Details

Your new company
A global leader in the TMT industries, with a huge international presence and market reputation. The organisation has over 280,000 people and has technological innovation at its core. The legal team is regularly short-listed for industry awards and the organisation boasts an excellent retention rate.
Your new role
This is a Group Legal Counsel position sitting within the high-performance European Legal team. With an international vibe, the team works on complex, cross-border commercial and technology matters in relation to exciting innovation. The legal team is instrumental in advising on risk and supporting on processes in relation to digital platforms/services, mobile broadband, IoT products and technology procurement. You will negotiate and review complex agreements, working with gravitas in partnership with stakeholders across the business. The level of the role will entail working with little supervision, and with an expectation that you will technically hit the ground running.
What you'll need to succeed
You will be a UK or Commonwealth qualified lawyer with excellent training and ideally commercial generalist experience in a technology setting. You will be comfortable working with stakeholders and operational teams in an international environment and you will have the technical know-how to excel when supporting on complex technology-driven matters. The business is happy to speak to lawyers with 5+ PQE or equivalent (as a guide only) as it is open to developing the right person for the long term.
What you'll get in return
You will be working in a team regularly recognised internally and externally for its excellence, with plenty of opportunity for career progression. You will be rewarded with an excellent salary, generous bonus target and a comprehensive package including private medical cover, excellent pension and other fit-for-purpose benefits.
