  • Supporting compliance initiatives, including the delivery of training and awareness programmes.
  • Advising on data protection and privacy matters, including responding to data subject requests.
  • Managing external legal advisers where appropriate.
  • Developing legal precedents, guidance and best practice to support the wider business.
  • Building strong relationships with stakeholders across multiple business functions.
About You
  • Qualified commercial lawyer with experience gained in an in-house environment.
  • Knowledge of compliance and data protection matters, with UK GDPR experience essential.
  • A pragmatic, business-focused approach to legal risk.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Experience working within a regulated environment (desirable).
Why Apply? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a collaborative legal team where you'll have genuine responsibility, exposure to senior stakeholders and the chance to make an immediate impact.
