Are you working in legal, privacy, compliance or information governance and looking for a role where you can genuinely broaden your experience?
We’re working with a fast-growing technology business looking for a Legal & Privacy Executive / Counsel to join the team.
This could be a brilliant next step for someone currently working as a Paralegal, Legal Executive, Privacy Executive or within compliance/information governance who wants more ownership and the opportunity to develop into a broader commercial legal role.
You don't need to be the finished article. They’re looking for someone bright, confident and ambitious who wants to learn, take on more responsibility and grow with the business.
The role
You'll initially bring your experience across areas such as privacy, compliance and information governance, while gradually developing exposure to wider commercial and generalist legal work.
You’ll get involved in:
- Data protection, privacy and information governance
- Compliance processes, policies and documentation
- Supporting and advising stakeholders across the business
- Identifying risks and confidently challenging where needed
- Legal administration and operational work
- Supporting commercial contracts and broader legal matters as your experience develops
- Improving processes and helping the legal function operate effectively
This is a hands-on role. Some days you’ll be dealing with interesting legal and privacy questions, while others will involve the less glamorous admin and governance that keeps a business running properly.
The opportunity is in how much you can grow from there.
What we’re looking for
You might currently be a Paralegal, Senior Paralegal, Legal Executive, Privacy Executive, Compliance Executive or Information Governance professional.
More importantly, you’ll have:
- Experience across compliance, information governance, privacy or data protection
- A good understanding of GDPR and data protection principles
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work with stakeholders at different levels
- The ability to challenge people constructively and explain your reasoning clearly
- A proactive, curious approach and willingness to get stuck in
- Strong attention to detail and comfort handling administrative as well as more complex work
- A genuine desire to develop your commercial and generalist legal experience
You don't need extensive commercial legal experience or to already be operating as a senior Legal Counsel.
This is a role for someone who wants to develop into that broader skill set over time.
Why consider it?
The biggest attraction is progression.
You’ll have the opportunity to take real ownership early in your career, work closely with senior stakeholders and develop from a privacy/compliance/IG foundation into a much broader legal professional.
They’re looking for someone who wants to grow with the business rather than simply do the same job somewhere new.
