This role is based in their Glasgow.
This is a rare opportunity to join a growing, international tech company where the legal team is embedded at the heart of commercial decision-making.

Trained in corporate, commercial or company secretarial work (private practice, public sector or in-house)
Commercially minded and curious about how businesses operate
Comfortable engaging with non-legal colleagues and explaining risk in practical terms
