    Description

    A fast-growing, innovative technology company is seeking a Corporate Counsel to join its legal team on a permanent basis. The company operates at the intersection of advanced technology, software, and infrastructure, delivering highly sophisticated solutions to customers across global markets.

    With an international footprint and strong institutional backing, the business is known for its entrepreneurial mindset, technical excellence, and long-term strategic vision. The company is entering an exciting phase of growth, with increasing complexity across its corporate and commercial activities.

    Employees work in a collaborative, high-performance environment that values agility, accountability, and cross-functional teamwork. The organisation offers a flexible working model and the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership.

    About the Role

    The Corporate Counsel will report directly to the General Counsel and will provide broad, commercially focused legal support across the business. This is a general corporate role, supporting both day-to-day legal needs and longer-term strategic initiatives.

    The successful candidate will act as a trusted adviser to senior stakeholders, balancing legal risk with commercial objectives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Provide pragmatic, business-oriented legal advice to senior management and internal stakeholders.
    • Support a wide range of general corporate matters, including corporate governance, group structuring, shareholder matters, and internal policies.
    • Assist with strategic transactions, including investments, joint ventures, partnerships, and other corporate projects.
    • Draft, review, and negotiate a variety of commercial and corporate agreements as required.
    • Partner with finance, strategy, and operations teams on growth initiatives and business-critical projects.
    • Identify, assess, and clearly communicate legal and commercial risks, offering practical solutions aligned with business goals.
    • Manage external counsel on specialist, transactional, or jurisdiction-specific matters.
    • Contribute to the ongoing development and scaling of legal processes within a growing organisation.

    Qualifications

    • Qualified lawyer with 5–7 years' post-qualification experience.
    • Trained at a top-tier law firm (e.g. Magic Circle, Silver Circle, or Tier 1 international firm), with subsequent in-house experience strongly preferred.
    • Strong grounding in general corporate law, gained through a combination of private practice and in-house roles.
    • Experience supporting technology-led, infrastructure, or high-growth businesses is advantageous.
    • Commercial, solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to operate effectively in a dynamic environment.
    • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including confidence working with senior leadership.
    • Well-organised, adaptable, and comfortable handling multiple priorities.
    • Fluency in English.

    Why Join

    • Join a high-growth, technology-driven organisation at a pivotal stage of development.
    • Take on a broad, visible corporate role with real influence on strategic decision-making.
    • Work closely with senior leadership in a lean, collaborative environment.
    • Gain exposure to complex corporate and commercial matters within an innovative business.
    • Be part of a culture that values initiative, ownership, and long-term thinking.
