We are looking for a Legal Counsel to join our growing team. Should you choose to accept, your responsibilities will encompass:

  • Providing practical legal advice and guidance across a wide range of business matters.
  • Reviewing, drafting and negotiating client, supplier and commercial agreements.
  • Supporting the business with legal, regulatory and compliance requirements.
  • Identifying, assessing and mitigating legal and commercial risks.
  • Working alongside the People Team on employment-related legal matters where required.
  • Managing relationships with external legal advisers and specialist counsel.
  • Supporting company growth initiatives, including commercial projects and acquisitions.
  • Keeping up to date with legislation and regulations impacting the technology and managed services sector.

Our perfect candidate will be a qualified solicitor with strong commercial awareness and the ability to provide clear, pragmatic legal advice. You'll be comfortable translating complex legal concepts into practical business guidance and have excellent contract drafting, review and negotiation skills.

Building strong relationships across the business is essential, so we're looking for someone with excellent communication skills, sound judgement and a collaborative approach. You'll play a key role in helping razorblue manage risk, support growth and make confident business decisions.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
