Interim Commercial Technology Lawyer
Bristol (hybrid, one day per week in the office) | Immediate start | 2 to 3 months initially, with potential to extend | Day rate (inside IR35) or FTC
Overview
An opportunity for an experienced commercial technology lawyer to join a pensions technology business on an interim basis. The business provides software and technology solutions to pension administrators, insurers and other clients operating in regulated environments, and its legal work is centred on technology, outsourcing and complex commercial contracting.
This is a hands-on role within a small, growing legal team, reporting directly to the Legal Director. You will be providing immediate support across a busy contracts workload, with real exposure to the business and its clients from day one.
The role
You will take ownership of a broad range of technology and commercial agreements, acting as a trusted adviser to commercial and operational stakeholders. The work is varied and substantive, and suits someone who can get up to speed quickly and run with matters independently.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
