Legal Counsel - Salisbury, United Kingdom - Nucleus Financial
Description
About the role
We're on the lookout for an experienced and motivated commercial solicitor with significant outsourcing experience in the regulatory environment to be part of our Legal team here at Nucleus. This role is a great opportunity to join an ambitious and diligent team who advocate for and promote a strong legal risk management and compliance culture throughout the group. As we continue through an exciting phase of organisational growth and evolution, there is no better time to join our journey in a role that adds true value to our business and our customers.
Our new Legal Counsel will have the opportunity to make a real difference by supporting the wider business through involvement in material third party contracts (including outsourcing arrangements). By working collaboratively across various teams, you'll have the opportunity to build relationships and work in partnership with colleagues and third parties to promote engagement and embed a culture of continuous process improvement.
It's a varied role with lots of interesting and value-add work to keep you busy, and here are some of the ways you'll spend your time:
A bit about you
Your friends would probably describe you as a 'problem-solver' who is motivated by doing the right thing and supporting others to do the same. You'll love researching and absorbing new information on a range of subjects. You're the type of person who takes time to really understand an issue and aware that each person or team has their own unique needs and requirements.
Tenacious, unafraid to challenge, and leaving no stone unturned, you're thorough, with an eye for detail, who'll ask great questions to help solve problems and will persevere to get the best outcome possible. You're a pro at understanding how the little things influence the big picture.
You'll demonstrate an open and honest approach and be able to build relationships and communicate confidently across the business. You'll encourage the right behaviours, support our core values and lead by example. You'll set the bar high and help engender a team environment which is both supportive and rewarding, where high performance is the norm.
We've always placed more importance on cultural contribution above technical ability, but we'd really like you to have:
A little about us
We are the Nucleus Financial Platforms group and we help make retirement more rewarding. Here at Nucleus, people come first - whether it's our colleagues, or the advisers and customers we support, we know that working in partnership and collaboration leads to the best outcomes. Together, we've shaped the platform to how it is today. We work hard, and we celebrate hard too.
Our ambition is to create a platform with a difference, putting the customer centre stage meant tearing up the rule book and starting from scratch. We've come a long way since then, but our mission remains just as focused. That's why our culture, values, and social responsibility are things we keep at the top of our agenda – because we know they matter and have a big impact.
Our culture is one of the many things that sets us apart from the pack. We want to have an environment where our people feel that they can make a real difference, know they'll be rewarded for their efforts and more importantly, enjoy themselves at work.

Inclusion and diversity at Nucleus
As with most things in life, who cares, wins. We really care about inclusion.
For us it's not a tick box exercise; inclusion and diversity are embedded in our culture and everything we do. It's a commercial imperative. It isn't about being PC. It's about being future-relevant and durable. We owe it to ourselves and the industry to ensure we are playing our part in creating a fair, balanced and transparent financial services sector.
More diversity means broader experience, a wider set of perspectives and a better collective ability to problem-solve. And it means being more representative of customer groups, which supports areas such as product development.
At Nucleus, we offer a generous blend of benefits for the things that really matter to our people, including a non-contributory pension, bonus, enhanced parental leave, paid time off for emergencies, health and wellbeing initiatives and flexible working options.
If you'd like to find out more about us or the role, you can get in touch with in our People team.
