Role
Who you are
- Our priority is to find the right fit for our business who relates with our values – someone who not only possesses the technical competencies required for the role but more importantly, brings a proactive and dedicated approach to what they do and embodies a positive work ethic
- Qualified solicitor (in England and Wales) with 3+ years PQE
- Strong contract drafting, negotiation, and review skills
- Knowledge of data protection regulations and familiarity with international privacy laws
- Research skills – ability to interpret complex topics into a digestible format
What the job involves
- The life of an in-house lawyer is varied and each day is a veritable roulette of tasks; one day you might be negotiating terms with a client and the next you could be reviewing a new AI tool for legal issues. To give you a bit more of an understanding of the kinds of tasks that may come your way, here is a non-exhaustive selection:
- Undertaking legal reviews for all new supplier contracts and being the ultimate gatekeeper of our contracts approval policy
- Maintaining our existing supplier contract database in our contract management system to ensure we don’t miss a renewal!Helping our sales team with tricky client queries on our terms and conditions
- Conducting reviews of AI tools to make sure they are compliant with our AI Tool policy
- Horizon scanning for any upcoming legislative changes and providing updates to the business in a fun but informative way
- Responding to various queries in our #ask-legal slack channel and providing relevant advice
- There will also be a number of projects to sink your teeth into which, if we pull off, will deliver significant efficiencies and hopefully be the start of our legal and compliance nirvana. Here’s a sneak peek of the subject matter of those projects
- Implementing a data protection framework including all of the classic data protection bells and whistles - transfer risk assessments, data protection agreements and data processing activity records
- Kicking off our phase 2 review of legacy supplier contracts to sniff out any contractual risks and scope out how to address them
- Creating an induction plan for new starters to give them a fun and fact filled introduction to legal
- Revamping our internal playbook for our sales teams, facilitating contract training sessions and improving the client due diligence process
- Helping our clients get to know how we do legal/compliance by creating an information hub so that they can self-serve
- Supporting the implementation of vendor management systems and other legal software tools
