A leading European passenger transport business is seeking a commercially focused Legal Counsel to join its Group Legal team on a 12-month fixed-term contract.


About the Role

This is a broad commercial role supporting major procurement projects, strategic tender opportunities and complex commercial arrangements across the UK and Europe. Working closely with business stakeholders, you will play a key role in helping the organisation secure and deliver significant contracts while managing legal and commercial risk.


Responsibilities

  • Lead legal support on major procurement exercises, tender submissions and bid opportunities.
  • Review, draft and negotiate commercial contracts, concession agreements and framework arrangements.
  • Advise on public and private sector procurement matters throughout the bid lifecycle.
  • Assess legal and commercial risk and provide practical, solution-focused advice to stakeholders.
  • Support business development and growth initiatives across the UK and Europe.
  • Work closely with Commercial, Procurement, Finance and operational teams to deliver strategic projects.
  • Manage relationships with external counsel where required.
  • Contribute to wider legal and governance initiatives across the Group.


Qualifications

  • Qualified lawyer with 3-8 years' PQE.


Required Skills

  • Strong commercial contracts experience gained in private practice or in-house.
  • Experience supporting procurement, tendering, bid or concession processes.
  • Ability to balance legal risk with commercial objectives.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • Pragmatic, business-focused and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.


Preferred Skills

  • Exposure to regulated sectors, infrastructure, transport or public sector contracting would be advantageous but is not essential.


Pay range and compensation package

Why apply? Opportunity to work on high-value, strategically important procurement and tender projects. Direct exposure to senior commercial stakeholders across the business. Varied and commercially focused workload with real business impact. Collaborative and experienced legal team. Hybrid working with 3 days per week in the London office.


Equal Opportunity Statement

We are committed to diversity and inclusivity.
