6 days ago

The Hill, United Kingdom BAE Systems Full time

Job title: Senior Legal Counsel

Location: Barrow-In-Furness. We offer a range of hybrid and flexible working arrangements – please speak to your recruiter about the options for this particular role.

Salary: Competitive

What you’ll be doing:

  • Providing legal support and advice to all functions within the Submarines business
  • Negotiating, advising on and advising colleagues on a wide range of contractual arrangements with the UK MoD and suppliers
  • Providing legal advice and support on regulatory issues, including nuclear, health and safety, product liability and export controls (note: previous experience in these specific areas is not essential)
  • Helping to drive improvements in business processes and participating in delivery training on legal and contractual issues
  • Managing, supporting and developing more junior members of the Submarines Legal team

Your skills and experiences:

  • Have a background in commercial and/or corporate law with expertise and experience in a broad span of the law and contracting
  • Be comfortable working in regulatory environments where the rules are not always clear and which therefore demand pragmatic, defensible decisions
  • Have demonstrable experience of assisting in complex high value commercial contracts

Benefits:

You’ll receive benefits including a competitive pension scheme, enhanced annual leave allowance and a Company contributed Share Incentive Plan. You’ll also have access to additional benefits such as flexible working, an employee assistance programme, Cycle2work and employee discounts – you may also be eligible for an annual incentive.

The Submarines Legal Team

The Submarines Legal team operates in a complex, challenging and busy environment supporting the national endeavour of delivering submarines to the Royal Navy, alongside other Submarines programmes and stakeholders.

Reporting to the Submarines Chief Counsel, this is a high profile role which is critical to maintaining the Submarines business’ licence to trade. This is a fulfilling role with enormous variety and interest.

We offer relocation support packages across all Submarines roles, subject to meeting eligibility criteria.

Why BAE Systems?

This is a place where you’ll be able to make a real difference. You’ll be part of an inclusive culture that values diversity, rewards integrity, and merit, and where you’ll be empowered to fulfil your potential. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and particularly from sections of the community who are currently underrepresented within our industry, including women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ individuals. We also want to make sure that our recruitment processes are as inclusive as possible. If you have a disability or health condition (for example dyslexia, autism, an anxiety disorder etc.) that may affect your performance in certain assessment types, please speak to your recruiter about potential reasonable adjustments.

Please be aware that many roles at BAE Systems are subject to both security and export control restrictions. These restrictions mean that factors such as your nationality, any nationalities you may have previously held, and your place of birth can restrict the roles you are eligible to perform within the organisation. All applicants must as a minimum achieve Baseline Personnel Security Standard. Many roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting where applicants must typically have 5 to 10 years of continuous residency in the UK depending on the vetting level required for the role, to allow for meaningful security vetting checks.

Closing Date: 7th January 2025

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.
