  • Providing hands-on drafting, review and negotiation support on complex and high-value contracts
  • Strategic oversight of data protection and operational compliance
  • Embedding legal into centralised procurement processes
  • Managing trademark, copyright and brand protection matters
  • Partnering closely with Central Operations and wider stakeholders to support confident commercial decision-making
  • Leading a high-performing team of four
  • Taking ownership of the organisation's commercial legal activity

Requirements
