This is a broad, hands-on position supporting an international business across commercial contracts, partnerships, corporate governance and general legal administration.

Responsibilities
- Managing commercial contracts from initial drafting through to signature and filing
- Supporting partnership agreements and coordinating the contract execution process
- Preparing first drafts of contracts, licences, letters, notices and other legal documentation
- Managing electronic signatures and maintaining contract management systems
- Supporting vendor and commercial partner onboarding

- Acting as a key liaison between internal lawyers, external counsel and teams across the business
- Coordinating external legal counsel, invoices and payments
- Carrying out legal research and gathering information when required
- Providing transactional and general administrative support across the legal team
- Updating policies and preparing materials for internal training
