* Provide legal support to cross-functional teams, including Sales, Operations, Science, and Finance
* Advise on GDPR compliance and international data transfers
* Contribute to the company’s IP strategy, particularly around digital tools
* Support wider legal needs including insurance, employment, and corporate activity (as relevant)
About You
* England & Wales qualified solicitor with 2–7 years’ PQE
* Broad commercial legal experience, ideally within pharma, biotech, life sciences, or healthtech
* Comfortable operating as sole counsel and advising senior leadership
* Strategic thinker with a hands-on mindset and excellent communication skills
* Ambitious, adaptable, and keen to help shape both the legal function and the wider business
Why Apply?
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role in a company with a strong sense of mission. You’ll play a crucial part in enabling international growth and building a legal function from the ground up.
With a supportive, collaborative culture and newly launched company values centred on peer support, ambition, and continuous improvement, this is a rare opportunity for someone seeking both challenge and long-term progression.
