Exposure to commodity finance would also be highly regarded. Day to-day responsibilities include contract reviews, structuring and negotiation especially with third parties amongst other commercial/regulatory matters.
Candidates should ideally have a minimum of 4 years of legal experience working for leading international law firms and in-house functions. The successful candidate will be qualified as a Lawyer and have an EU, Swiss or UK passport. Although not essential, spoken/written fluency in French would be appreciated.
