Job description

Group Legal Counsel


Do you want to play a leading role in a dynamic, globally operating business? Our client is pursuing an ambitious strategy to evolve its international operations and support a more sustainable future.


You will join a Group HQ function within a global organisation, working in a small, high-impact London-based team. You’ll be instrumental in delivering strategic priorities and enabling strong outcomes for customers, colleagues and partners, while contributing to a highly collaborative and high-performing environment.


This role supports Group functions across a diverse and complex range of legal matters, including (but not limited to) commercial, procurement, major IT agreements, licensing, distribution, disputes, regulatory matters, intellectual property, data protection, finance, HR, and legal and regulatory compliance.


You will also play a central coordinating role for the legal team and key stakeholders globally, helping to align legal strategy, manage risk, and enable confident decision-making across regions.


What You’ll Do

  • Provide clear, practical and commercially focused legal advice on complex, business-critical matters across multiple jurisdictions
  • Advise on a broad range of legal areas including commercial contracts, procurement, IT agreements, regulatory compliance, data protection, IP, finance and employment-related matters
  • Act as a trusted business partner, working closely with stakeholders, anticipating issues, balancing risk, and developing pragmatic solutions
  • Support and coordinate legal input on Group-level projects and transactions, with some exposure to M&A and other strategic initiatives
  • Build and maintain strong relationships across global business units and regional legal teams
  • Identify, assess and mitigate legal and regulatory risk, ensuring alignment with global compliance frameworks (including anti-bribery, sanctions, AML, data privacy and competition law)
  • Contribute to the development of legal processes, playbooks and best practices across the organisation
  • Support continuous improvement in the delivery of legal services, including the use of technology and management of external counsel


About You

To be successful in this role, you will be:

  • A qualified lawyer (UK or equivalent) with approximately 4–6 years’ PQE
  • Experienced in a broad, commercially focused role, ideally in-house or with relevant secondment experience
  • Commercially minded and solutions-focused, able to balance legal risk against business objectives
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, complex environment, with strong prioritisation skills
  • A strong communicator and relationship builder, confident working with stakeholders across geographies and functions
  • Hands-on, adaptable, and able to switch between varied workstreams
  • Proactive and inquisitive, with the ability to translate legal complexity into clear, practical guidance


The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join a global organisation undergoing transformation, in a role offering broad exposure, high visibility, and genuine scope for development within a collaborative and internationally connected legal team.

If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply.


Inclusion

Our client is committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where individuals feel valued, supported and empowered to succeed. Diversity of thought, background and experience is actively encouraged.
