Senior Legal Counsel

Overview

I am working with a fast-growing, tech-led business operating internationally that is looking to hire a Senior Legal Counsel on a 12 month fixed-term contract to cover maternity leave, with potential to extend.

This is a broad in-house role with real autonomy, working closely with senior stakeholders across the business and supporting continued growth.

• Drafting and negotiating a wide range of commercial and technology agreements
• Advising on SaaS agreements, MSAs, DPAs, NDAs, reseller and vendor contracts
• Supporting sales, product and commercial teams on client contracts and RFPs
• Managing contract workflows and improving legal processes
• Updating templates and legal playbooks
• Advising on data protection and regulatory issues
• Supporting on corporate, governance and employment matters
• Working closely with risk, compliance, finance, tech and product teams

This role will suit someone who enjoys operating in a fast-paced environment and being close to the business.

• UK qualified solicitor with around 6+ years PQE
• Experienced in drafting and negotiating complex commercial and technology contracts
• Comfortable working across a broad in-house remit rather than a narrow specialism
• Confident managing stakeholders and working autonomously
• Ideally already working in-house within tech, fintech, SaaS or a scale-up environment
• Familiar with data protection and privacy matters
• Experience working with financial institutions is a plus but not essential

• Senior, high-trust role with genuine autonomy
• Broad and interesting work across multiple jurisdictions
• Strong culture and benefits
