4 weeks ago


Banbury, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Prodrive Full time

At Prodrive, we understand that remarkable achievements are possible when exceptional talent collaborates. By joining our dedicated team, you will push boundaries to deliver outstanding results for our clients. As a premier independent motorsport company, we have supported some of the most iconic names and milestones in the industry for over four decades. Our ongoing partnerships, including Aston Martin's GT Racing program and our new long-term Dakar initiative, reflect our commitment to innovation and sustainable motorsport, driving our current growth trajectory.

Success in our field hinges on a well-coordinated commercial strategy. The ability to negotiate and secure contracts involves intricate discussions that culminate in legally binding agreements with global partners. In the role of Legal and Commercial Affairs Specialist, you will collaborate with our seasoned commercial team to initially assist and eventually take charge of client contracts, including those with vehicle manufacturers, sponsorship deals, race driver agreements, and non-disclosure agreements, ensuring they are accurately documented and aligned with our strategic objectives.

Your strong analytical skills and attention to detail will establish your credibility with technical stakeholders, enabling you to identify and address risks, challenges, and opportunities effectively. You will leverage your legal and business education, along with your enthusiasm for the contractual and commercial aspects of motorsport, to review, manage, and draft various agreements on behalf of our organization.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Ensure that all agreements with clients, drivers, partners, and sponsors are properly documented and legally sound.
  • Develop and uphold standard operating procedures for Prodrive's contracting processes, including the creation and maintenance of templates.
  • Implement an efficient contract renewal process and establish a monitoring system to ensure compliance with contractual obligations.
  • Collaborate with external legal advisors to create robust and enforceable agreements.
  • Provide administrative support during commercial negotiations and track the completion of contracts.
  • Offer commercial insights to colleagues regarding contractual matters and risk management.

Who Are We Looking For?

The ideal candidate will possess a law degree or equivalent legal qualification, coupled with a passion for motorsport and a desire to work in a business-oriented environment rather than a traditional legal role. Experience in a commercially driven team, particularly within a sports context, is advantageous but not mandatory. You should demonstrate strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex issues into clear, actionable advice. A high level of numeracy and commercial awareness is essential, as is the ability to thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced culture.

What We Offer:

  • A competitive salary that will increase with your professional growth and contributions.
  • 25 days of annual leave (increasing with tenure) and the option to purchase up to 15 additional days.
  • Opportunities for ongoing professional development and training.
  • Access to an onsite subsidized staff restaurant.
  • Car and pension salary sacrifice schemes.
  • Cyclescheme participation.
  • Exercise classes available.
  • Paid time off for community service activities.
  • Consultations with our wellness expert.
  • Social events throughout the year.
  • Exclusive discounts for employees.
  • Life assurance coverage.

Our Commitment to Diversity:

At Prodrive, we are dedicated to attracting and developing top talent while fostering an inclusive workplace. We value the unique perspectives and diversity of our staff, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential. We strive to eliminate any barriers that may disadvantage job applicants from protected groups, ensuring that our hiring practices are fair and justified by the role's requirements. If you believe you are a good fit for this position, we encourage you to apply.
