Legal & Compliance Executive
Department: Legal & Compliance
Location: Zinc - London
Compensation: £30,000 / year
Description
As a Legal and Compliance Executive at Zinc, you’ll be joining the Legal and Compliance department at an exciting time of growth. Already a team of five, we’ll be closer to ten by the end of the year and you’ll be a core part of that growth.
You’ll be managed by and work directly with our Associate Legal Counsel on commercial contracts, legal research and due diligence processes, making an impact on our revenue goals from day one. You’ll work alongside a pod of other Legal and Compliance Executives and have real autonomy to shape the work that you tackle. As a VC-backed scale-up, Zinc will provide you with the opportunity to work on high-impact projects right from the get-go, giving you opportunities and responsibilities you wouldn’t otherwise have in a large law firm or traditional in-house paralegal role elsewhere.
No previous experience is required for this role, we're happy to speak to fresh graduates straight out of university or their LPC or BPTC. You might already have your training contract or pupillage locked in and want to experience something different for a while, perfect! Or if you're currently working as a paralegal or legal assistant and fancy a change of scenery, then get in touch.
