Job Description
Legal Counsel / Commercial Contracts / SaaS / Technology Law / Inhouse
Location: Wallingford, Oxfordshire (1 day per week onsite, Mondays preferred)
Permanent
At Dexory, we are transforming the warehousing and logistics industry through data intelligence.
As Legal Counsel at Dexory, you will join a small but commercially focused Legal team (General Counsel + Legal & Compliance Assistant) and take ownership of a broad range of legal and compliance work, with a focus on commercial contracting. You will be an integral part of the scaling journey, engage directly with customers and suppliers and represent the company in negotiations.
This is a hands-on, generalist in-house role where no two days are the same. You will need to roll your sleeves up, exercise strong commercial judgement, and thrive on variety and pace.
Key Responsibilities
- Commercial Contracting: Draft, review and negotiate customer and supplier contracts, acting as the company’s lead negotiator in commercial discussions.
- Supplier & Procurement Support: Work with Procurement, IT and the wider business to review supplier agreements, advise on terms, conduct risk assessments and secure all necessary approvals.
- Compliance: Assist the General Counsel in ensuring that Dexory’s operations and activities comply with all relevant laws and regulations across our operating markets.
- Programme Development: Develop, implement and support compliance programmes and training initiatives across the business.
- Litigation Support: Support the General Counsel in managing any disputes, litigation or other legal proceedings involving the company.
