Role
* Act as the primary legal contact
* Lead and supervise a team of lawyers and paralegals across a broad commercial contract portfolio
* Manage team capacity, workflows, quality and client stakeholder communication
* Support the negotiation and delivery of a wide range of commercial, media and tech contracts
* Help shape and refine a progressive legal service delivery model
* Contribute to continuous improvement of legal, operational and tech processes
* Collaborate closely with client-side legal teams and internal stakeholders
* Oversee reporting, client meetings, training, onboarding, and development initiatives
Candidate Requirements
* UK-qualified solicitor 8+ PQE ideally
* Proven experience in general commercial contracts, ideally including media and tech agreements
* Prior experience managing or supervising a team of legal professionals
* Strong drafting and negotiation skills with a client-focused approach
* Technologically literate, with an interest in legal innovation and process improvement
* Confident in stakeholder engagement, with strong commercial acumen
* Passion for building lasting client relationships in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
This is a high-impact role offering a balance of leadership, variety and innovation. You’ll be part of a team rethinking how law firms partner with in-house legal teams—while remaining close to the day-to-day of delivering legal work.
Fully Remote home based role with attractive salary and benefits
