The British Library is a world-renowned research institution with an unparalleled collection of materials. This presents complex contractual relationships and commercial challenges.
The Legal and Contracts Services team provides expert advice on legal and contract matters, performing tasks such as drafting, reviewing, interpreting, and negotiating contracts.
We are seeking an experienced professional to support LCS work in acquiring and licensing content, both contemporary and heritage, to enhance our services and achieve the British Library's strategic objectives.
You will provide counsel on contract management issues while collaborating with key stakeholders within the British Library to ensure business requirements are accurately reflected in contracts and license agreements.
You will also assist in implementing proposals to improve existing workflows and processes, including promoting contracting best practices and leveraging technology opportunities to support LCS and the Library's Legal Assurance Framework.
