The opportunity
Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation, and growth drives everything we do. Our innovative legal professionals don't just solve problems - we partner with the business to find creative solutions, think holistically, and help…
What you'll do
Advise on complex commercial transactions: Structure and negotiate a wide range of agreements, from off-the-shelf SaaS contracts to large-scale, multi-jurisdictional business unit outsourcings. You’re comfortable with the uncomfortable - whether that’s taking English law principles you know and collaborating with our external experts to work out the French law equivalent, or working in an entirely new area of law.
Partner cross-functionally: Deliver pragmatic, business-focused legal advice to key stakeholders across Tech, Marketing, People, Finance, and Supply Chain on strategic projects and procurement needs.
Lead legal strategy in working groups: Represent Legal on steering committees to navigate emerging challenges, regulatory changes, and new technology rollouts, owning legal risks from inception to solution.
Synthesise risk for executive leadership: Prepare Executive and Signatory notes that clearly translate complex legal risks into actionable business insights.
Upskill and guide the business: Provide proactive training and advice across evolving topics, including AI risk management, vendor compliance, and financial regulations. We’ll upskill you on technical topics you’re less familiar with, and you’ll quickly find your areas of expertise.
Drive operational excellence: Advocate for legal best practice and continuously improve internal contracting processes to scale efficiency.
What they're looking for
- Legal Qualification & Depth: Qualified solicitor in England & Wales with significant experience providing commercial, strategic legal advice to international businesses.
- Domain Expertise: Proven track record across core commercial and procurement areas, including technology procurement, AI vendor agreements, payment service provider contracts, and material outsourcings.
- Cross-Functional Stakeholder Engagement: Proven ability to build trusted relationships, influence senior leaders, and collaborate effectively within a fast-paced, matrixed global organisation.
- Clear, Adaptable Communication: Skilled at distilling complex legal risks for varied audiences—from executive teams to junior team members—and adapting your communication style accordingly.
