You will remain hands-on in the detail, acting as a trusted commercial partner to the business while shaping how the function operates day to day.

Job Responsibility:

  • Leading the commercial contracts function across IT, consultancy, supplier, marketing, sponsorship and collaboration agreements
  • 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:

  • Qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive (CILEx)
  • Strong in-house experience in commercial contract drafting and negotiation
  • Practical working knowledge of UK data protection law and UK GDPR
  • Proven experience leading or managing a small professional team
