Role Description

This is a pivotal, hands-on role designed for a commercially minded solicitor who thrives in a fast-paced, public company environment. Reporting to the People Officer, you will serve as the primary legal partner for our UK and international business units, with a core focus on drafting and negotiating complex commercial contracts that drive our growth. This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the legal operations of a Nasdaq-listed entity from a UK base, balancing technical legal excellence with pragmatic business partnership.

Main Responsibilities

• Act as the central point of contact for all global external law firms, ensuring strict adherence to billing guidelines and service level agreements.
• Manage the legal budget by triaging matters effectively—handling work in-house where possible and selecting the right external experts for specialised tasks.
• Ensure UK and international operations remain compliant with Nasdaq listing rules and SEC disclosure requirements.
• Develop, maintain, and localise standard contract templates and "playbooks" to empower sales and procurement teams globally.
• Identify and communicate potential legal and regulatory risks to senior leadership, providing actionable solutions rather than just identifying hurdles.
• Provide company secretarial support as required.

Qualifications

• Qualified Solicitor with 4+ years PQE.
• Demonstrable experience working within (or advising) a publicly traded company, specifically understanding the rigors of a US-listed (Nasdaq/NYSE) environment.
• Strong technical command of commercial law, with a proven ability to lead high-stakes negotiations independently.
• Experience in managing external legal providers and a track record of driving value and efficiency from outside counsel.

Benefits

• 25 Days Annual leave, increasing to 26 days after 12 months in the business.
• Enhanced Company Pension (Matched up to 5% & Salary Sacrifice).
• Healthcare Cashplan with Medicash.
• Private Healthcare with Aviva.
• Life Insurance with AIG.
• Happl, our benefit platform which provides access to pre-negotiated discounts on a wide variety of services including entertainment, food, and fitness.
• Stock / Equity.
