If you are immediately available and interested in a role where you can have a real impact on how an in-house legal function is built and organised, please get in touch.

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.
The role
You will work closely with the organisation's first in-house lawyer to help create structure around the legal function and improve how legal documents and resources are managed.
Responsibilities will include:
- Building and organising a central legal document repository
- Liaising with internal teams to locate contracts and legal documents held across different systems and locations
- Cleaning up, organising and migrating documentation into one central location
- Helping establish naming conventions, controls and document governance processes
- Supporting the creation of legal templates, playbooks, guides and other resources
- Assisting with wider legal operations and process improvement projects
- Potentially supporting initial research into legal technology and AI tools

- Experience improving legal processes, systems or repositories
- Confidence working independently and liaising with stakeholders across the business
