    Description

    The Role

    As Let's Do This ("LDT") solidifies its position as the largest platform for endurance events in the UK, our ambition grows alongside our achievements. We are seeking a permanent and full-time Head of Legal to lead and develop our in-house legal function. This is currently a sole counsel position with scope to develop a team as the business grows. Your contributions will directly influence our trajectory, making this a unique opportunity to make a significant impact.

    What You'll Do

    • Act as lead lawyer and the point of contact for all legal matters at LDT.
    • Provide prompt and succinct advice to stakeholders, including the board, often to tight timescales.
    • Develop the legal function and ensure LDT stays compliant in the territories in which we operate (currently UK, EU and US).
    • Work with external counsel where appropriate and manage legal spend.
    • Create operational efficiencies and savings where possible. An understanding of the legal services market is desirable.
    • Manage the contract precedent bank, ensuring precedents are up to date with legal developments and accommodate the business' key commercial principles.

    What We Look For

    • You'll be a senior Solicitor, qualified in England & Wales, with significant PQE and credentials in the technology sector.
    • Highly competent in the areas of commercial / technology contracts and data privacy. Our Head of Legal must be a multi-specialist with exceptional drafting skills - able to turn their hand to a range of instructions regardless of practice area. Key competencies include:
      • Commercial Contracts - Draft, review and advise on a broad spectrum of commercial and technology agreements particularly SaaS, brand partnerships, marketing services and sponsorships.
      • Data Privacy - A thorough understanding of UK and EU data protection and marketing laws is required with demonstrable experience advising on the full range of privacy issues encountered by a consumer-facing technology firm. Your experience must be broader than advising on data protection issues in commercial agreements. Knowledge of US data privacy laws is desirable.
      • More broadly - Additional experience in one or more of the following areas is desirable: employment, corporate/ secretarial, IP, disputes/ regulatory investigations and legal ops.
    • A trusted advisor to the business, capable of giving decisive advice. You must be an independent thinker who can provide a view on the best course of action, rather than simply presenting options.
    • A confident communicator and negotiator, capable of dealing with stakeholders at all levels of business (internally and externally). Building rapport and relationships is essential to the growth of the business.
    • Demonstrated leader. You don't need to have led a legal team before, but you do need to show leadership and supervision/ management skills.
    • You should be capable of advising a broad range of legal and business issues in a general counsel capacity. This includes applying your legal mind to matters outside of your qualified jurisdiction (e.g. US matters) with appropriate external support.
