Your new company
A celebrated national transport and infrastructure business in London, with a market-leading ESG programme and an extensive benefits package. Led by a fantastic ELT team, the organisation has been at the cutting edge of regulatory developments within the rail transport space and promises an interesting variety of work for a lawyer.
Your new role
Reporting to the General Counsel, you will have a dual focus on commercial generalist matters, including negotiating contracts (both private and public sector) and advising risk across the business' transport, retail, infrastructure, advertising and regulatory interests. You will also support the DPO in advising on key data protection matters, including advising on data processing activities and ensuring internal policies and procedures are fit for purpose. Working within a team of six lawyers, you will collaborate with stakeholders across the business as needed, ensuring legal is at the forefront of all innovative conversations.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll need to succeed
You will be an E&W or Commonwealth qualified lawyer with proven in-house experience in commercial and data protection matters (CIPP/E or equivalent data privacy qualifications are welcomed, but not mandatory). The hiring manager is open to applicants from different market industries, as long as they are able to commute to the Central London office three days per week. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
What you'll get in return
You'll play a key strategic role in this crucial phase of the business' evolution, and have the chance to work with a super impressive team of lawyers. Alongside an excellent salary and bonus incentive, you will be rewarded with a leading benefits package, including family-level PMI, generous annual leave entitlement, advanced pension and numerous other benefits options.
