Senior Legal In-House Opportunity
A major UK infrastructure business is looking to appoint a senior lawyer to join its in-house legal function. This is a business of scale, operating at the intersection of energy, infrastructure and technology, and is seeking commercially minded lawyers who can bring fresh perspectives as well as technical expertise.
The mandate:
You will advise on high value commercial arrangements, strategic partnerships and complex projects spanning energy, utilities and wider infrastructure. The work is commercially significant, fast paced and involves regular interaction with senior stakeholders and external partners.
What is sought:
The business is less concerned with PQE or sector background and more focused on calibre, instincts and potential. The successful candidate will demonstrate:
* Commercial judgement, knowing when to act, escalate or hold the line
* Independence, trusted to progress complex matters without close supervision
* Resilience, credible in pushing back with senior decision makers
* Fresh thinking, introducing improvements to processes and ways of working
* Networked operator, leveraging contacts across industries and advisers
* Leadership potential, with the ability to grow into a senior strategic role within the function
About you:
You may come from energy, infrastructure, telecoms, transport or another highly regulated sector. What matters is that you combine legal expertise with strong commercial instincts and the authority to operate confidently at senior levels. You will be motivated by the chance to influence major infrastructure projects and to contribute to the growth of a high performing legal team.
This is a rare opportunity to join a business with a national footprint where your work will shape large scale projects and position you for future leadership.
