About You:
- Qualified Solicitor in Scotland, 1-3 years PQE considered
- Experience in commercial contract negotiation, ideally within an FCA-regulated environment or a financial services setting.
- Pragmatic, confident, and solutions-oriented, capable of working independently and managing deadlines effectively.
- Exposure to pensions or financial services and a good knowledge of IT systems (like SharePoint or Dynamics 365) would be advantageous.
- Ability to collaborate with both stakeholders and the wider legal team.
Perks of the Role:
This role offers a flexible benefits package, a profit share scheme, access to wellness support, professional development opportunities, and generous paid leave, including time off for volunteering and personal celebrations.
