A true global leader in technology, media and electronics and one of the most famous brands in the world. The company has its European HQ in Surrey, and operates a hybrid working system (3 days in the office per week). The environment is innovative and cutting edge, with fantastic resources and high expectations to keep pushing technological boundaries.

Your new role
A Legal Counsel position reporting into the Head of Legal within a team of 14 legal professionals. This ad-tech and media focused position will entail working closely with advertising, marketing and innovation teams.

In-house experience is greatly welcomed, particularly if it is in a fast-paced technology driven, digital/media environment. The ability to manage stakeholders at different levels is important. A passion for all things digital and media will go a long way to establishing cultural fit, as would an understanding of Asian business etiquette. You must be able to travel to the Surrey offices three days per week.
