About the role
As Legal Counsel, you will be the legal anchor for the entire Group, the person who holds the threads together across commercial, corporate, capital-markets and regulatory matters. Reporting directly to the Group CEO, this is a broad and genuinely independent role with real autonomy to shape the legal function from the ground up. You will engage and coordinate a network of external advisers, including patent portfolio agents, legal counsel and the company's certified adviser, acting as the internal hub through which all external legal relationships are channelled and directed. Day to day, you will draft, review and negotiate commercial contracts, oversee capital-markets compliance and disclosure obligations, and support the ongoing corporate transformation alongside the CEO, Managing Directors and the board. With operations spanning two countries and a listed environment with both equity and debt instruments in play, the legal agenda is varied, consequential and genuinely yours to own.

5–8 years of post-qualification experience, ideally from a combination of private practice and in-house.
Solid experience across commercial contracts, corporate governance and capital-markets or listed-company compliance.
