The organization is dedicated to investing in technology, data, and talent to enhance its understanding of customer needs, which has led to industry accolades and a growing customer base.

The Legal Department

  • Assisting the broader legal team in establishing best practices in legal and contracting processes across the organization through template and policy development and training.
  • Supporting the overall compliance and functional initiatives of the organization, including advising on legal and regulatory changes and assisting in their implementation into policy and procedures.
  • Managing and directing the work of external legal advisors when necessary.

Qualifications and Skills:

  • UK Qualified solicitor with a minimum of 3 years PQE, possessing strong academic credentials and experience in a leading in-house legal team or reputable private practice.
  • A creative and pragmatic commercial lawyer with a solid foundation in drafting and advising on supply and consumer contracts, including technology and digital products.
  • Proficient knowledge of intellectual property, artificial intelligence, data protection, and other common commercial compliance topics.
  • A self-motivated individual with a positive demeanor, strong influencing, presentation, and negotiation skills, along with the emotional intelligence and business acumen to collaborate effectively across functions.
