• Advising internal stakeholders to ensure legal input is aligned with business priorities
• Helping to improve and maintain legal templates, processes, and playbooks

Candidate profile:

• UK-qualified solicitor with roughly 1–3 years’ PQE, likely gained in a top-tier law firm
• Strong experience drafting and negotiating commercial technology contracts OR exposure to media-related agreements (licensing, talent, sponsorship, etc.)
• Excellent attention to detail, strong communication skills, and a pragmatic commercial approach
• Organised, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple workstreams
• Team-oriented, with the ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively
• Familiarity with legal tech tools (e.g. DocuSign, LinkSquares) is a plus
