Our client is seeking a highly accomplished and commercially astute Head of Legal to join their dynamic team. This pivotal role within an innovative business in the transport and mobility sector offers the opportunity to provide strategic legal guidance across the organisation. The successful candidate will be instrumental in shaping the legal framework of a thriving business, offering expert advice to the executive team and driving the legal function.
What you'll do:
As Head of Legal, your role will be central to the success of our client's operations. You will handle a wide range of responsibilities, from overseeing all legal and compliance matters to providing strategic advice on business-critical projects. Your expertise in managing legal risk will be crucial in ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations. In addition, you will lead and mentor a small legal team, fostering their professional development while collaborating with external legal advisors when necessary.
What you bring:
To succeed as Head of Legal, you will bring your extensive post-qualification experience to bear on a variety of challenges. Your expertise in commercial contracts will be invaluable, as will any additional experience in regulatory or compliance matters. A proactive and solutions-focused mindset is essential for managing complex legal issues with confidence. Exceptional communication skills are required for effective stakeholder management. While experience in the transport sector is preferred, it is not essential.
