At the heart of our business is our people. We empower our teams to work across borders, innovate fearlessly, and continuously develop their skills through world-class learning and development programs.

The role requires a commercially minded legal professional who thrives in a fast-paced, international environment. You will play a key role in shaping legal outcomes across software, IT services, and global operations.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Provide legal support across a full range of matters, with a strong focus on software licensing, IT services, managed services, framework agreements, public sector contracts, and international supplier, partner, and customer agreements.
• Review, draft, and negotiate complex commercial and licensing agreements, while managing day-to-day legal operations including documentation and contract management.
• Act as the primary liaison with external lawyers and consultants, providing legal oversight for projects and business divisions in a global, cross-functional environment.
• Partner closely with Sales, Finance, Procurement, and HR teams, and support data protection matters including DPAs in coordination with Group Data Protection and Compliance teams.

What we need to see from you:

• Master's degree in Law or equivalent legal qualification, with 4–7 years' post-qualification experience (PQE).
• Strong foundation in contract law, with preferred experience in commercial and technology contracts, including drafting, reviewing, and negotiating in a fast-paced environment.
• Fluent in English (additional languages are an advantage), with excellent communication skills and confidence engaging with senior stakeholders.
• Structured, independent, and precise working style, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment.
• Strong commercial judgement and pragmatic, solutions-oriented mindset, with awareness of UK and EU technology regulatory frameworks (e.g. DORA, public sector requirements).
