Legal Counsel or Senior Legal Counsel
Hybrid (Warwick 1 day pw) / Flexible / 4 or 5 day week
We are delighted to exclusively partner with this technology driven organisation which is responsible for operating and planning key elements of Great Britain's power usage. They forecast energy demand in real time and ensure supply is there to meet the demand.
About the Role:
This is a newly created, growth role for a Legal Counsel (or Senior Legal Counsel, depending on experience) to sit in the commercial side of the Legal team. Working closely with an experienced senior commercial lawyer (and as part of a much larger, sizeable Legal team), this role leans towards SaaS and IT but will include a range of broader commercial contracts, such as Procurement, Digital, Data & Tech, and Innovation.
You can expect:
* drafting, reviewing and negotiating supplier contracts
* focus on technology agreements (SaaS, AI, digital systems)
* advising stakeholders on risk
* supporting with procurement processes
* corporate affairs
* contractual disputes and escalations
* implementation mechanics, improving processes, templates and playbooks
* SLAs and performance calibration
* translating technical requirements into robust contracts
* working closely with highly technical IT stakeholders
* shaping the commercial side of the legal function
* good visibility within the business
Culture:
Culture wise, the organisation is diverse, supportive and collegiate. It is fast moving, pragmatic and commercial.
Experience Sought:
The role would suit an agile and adaptable, commercially minded, and technically strong contracts /IT lawyer. Whilst the ideal PQE is likely to be found in the 4-8PQE range, our client is open minded about more or less PQE if the experience and individual is a good fit. A lawyer who is only 2 or 3PQE but has focused on tech contracts for that time could work; similarly, someone with more broad experience and greater PQE which includes tech (such that they have good experience and are comfortable working and advising independently in this space) could also be suitable.
Hybrid / Flex:
You will be expected in the office (Warwick) one day a week. This is a full time role but our client is open minded to those seeking 4 days or more flexibility.
Benefits:
* strong salary commensurate and dependent on experience (this could be Legal Counsel or Senior Legal Counsel)
* 15% bonus
* 12% pension
* great wider benefits package
