A highly profitable, UK-headquartered global business is looking for an experienced Senior Corporate Lawyer (6+ PQE) to join its high-performing and extremely supportive legal team following a period of international growth. Midlands-based – hybrid working.

This is a newly created position for a corporate lawyer to step into a strategic, wide-ranging in-house position, working directly with the Group General Counsel and closely with the Senior Leadership and Board. This opportunity offers a high level of autonomy and requires a confident corporate lawyer who is looking to step into a wide role enabling you to broaden your experience in an international environment, including leading or supporting the following projects across the Group:

• Lead on corporate projects including corporate transactions, finance & tax-led transactions, managing incentive/share schemes, investor funding projects and restructuring and M&A;
• Support on governance and board activity – board reporting, policies (ABC, Code of Conduct), and best practice frameworks.
• Partner with Group Finance on debt funding, covenant compliance and new and existing financing arrangements (with support from externals).
• Supporting on more general Group commercial matters, including procurement, general commercial agreements, IP and portfolio management;

What makes this opportunity stand out?

• Rare opportunity to do quality corporate work in-house in an international Group
• Excellent exposure to global strategy and business growth
• Opportunity to broaden experience into a wider-ranging role across the business, gaining greater stakeholder engagement and Board Level involvement
• Friendly, supportive, and ambitious culture – having supported this client for many years, we have placed numerous lawyers within this very friendly and collaborative team
• Strong long-term progression for the right candidate
• Competitive salary package including car allowance, 25% bonus and heavily discounted childcare

What we're looking for:

• Minimum 6 years’ PQE (private practice or in-house) of broad corporate matters – it is not necessary to have experience of all the aspects of the role, but a strong desire to diversify is essential
• Excellent technical ability and strong interpersonal skills
• Self-starter with a proactive, commercial mindset
• Experience with cross-border/international matters would be beneficial but not essential
• No prior in-house experience required
