Your new company
A growing international risk management organisation in Surrey, providing financial modelling, risk, service and software solutions consultation to financial organisations. The company boasts an impressive international client base and has an exciting development strategy to continue its impressive growth trajectory. The personnel within the organisation are hugely respected for their collective knowledge, which is a significant contributor to the company's burgeoning market reputation. Despite a relatively small headcount, the company has made significant strides in the last two years, and enjoys a friendly, entrepreneurial and international working environment.

Your new role
A newly created sole counsel position, as the company internalises the legal function for the first time. You will be instrumental in implementing the company's growth strategy, bringing gravitas and commercial acumen when liaising with stakeholders across the wider business. You will lead in managing risk in relation to the launch, marketing and regulatory considerations of technical and service products. You will negotiate and draft business-critical commercial agreements, including software contracts, while also advising senior management on corporate, employment, data protection and intellectual property issues. As a trusted partner to the business, you will support busy business units including HR, sales and finance in a fast-paced environment, managing your time and resource efficiently.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be UK qualified commercial lawyer with at least 5 years' PQE and the appetite and aptitude to take on a sole counsel role with a growing organisation. You will have received excellent training from a reputable firm or in-house legal function, and you will have experience advising clients on commercial risk. Experience working within the software industry would be welcomed, but is not a pre-requisite. You will be a team player with the ability to liaise with colleagues at all levels, carrying yourself credibly at senior levels. You will be comfortable without having a legal team around you, and your entrepreneurial spirit will ensure you thrive in a lean but efficient set up.

What you'll get in return
You will have the chance to be a massive part of this organisation's growth story. With such a credible and experienced work force present, the company has all the resource it needs to achieve its growth goals. You will benefit from being able to put your stamp on the role as the first lawyer, and be able to build a team in the future. You will be well-remunerated and be given an excellent benefits package.
