West Midlands, United Kingdom BCL Legal Full time

A General Counsel & Company Secretary opportunity has arisen within a UK FMCG Group, making its first ever legal hire. The Group is made up of 40-50 companies, from the very small to a PLC and offers a huge variety of goods and services.

**Reporting directly into the CFO, you will be responsible for**:
Managing legal & compliance and the full suite of company secretarial matters;
Developing processes across the function and delivering training to the Group;
Leading on the negotiations of commercial contracts;
Advising on other matters i.e. property, litigation, or employment; and
Managing externals counsel

You will be 10+ PQE with significant in-house experience.

This could be an excellent step up for a head of legal or deputy general counsel seeking more exposure and responsibility in a fast paced sector, or alternatively, for those already operating at General Counsel level, seeking a new challenge and interested in building a legal function for the first time.

The business is operating a hybrid policy, so some office contact is required in the West Midlands office.
