Senior Legal Counsel & Compliance Lead
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a commercially minded lawyer to join a growing international business with its UK headquarters in the Midlands.
Reporting directly to the General Counsel, this is a broad and business-facing role offering the opportunity to combine commercial legal work with ownership of the compliance programme across the UK businesses. You'll enjoy significant autonomy, regular interaction with senior leadership and the opportunity to influence the legal and compliance agenda during an exciting period of growth, innovation and expansion into new markets.
Whilst the role is primarily UK-focused, you will also work closely with colleagues across the wider international Group, contributing to broader compliance initiatives and sharing best practice.
Working as part of a collaborative legal team, your responsibilities will include:
- Leading the continued development, implementation and embedding of the UK compliance programme.
- Advising the business across a broad range of compliance matters, including data privacy, anti-bribery and corruption, competition law, consumer law, modern slavery, third-party risk, corporate fraud and advertising standards.
- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a wide range of commercial contracts.
- Supporting the business on disputes and a variety of day-to-day legal matters.
- Working closely with the General Counsel, Senior Leadership Team and the Compliance & Risk Committee to deliver pragmatic, commercially focused advice.
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.
We're looking for a commercially minded lawyer with experience of developing, implementing or enhancing compliance programmes within a business environment. You do not need experience across every compliance discipline, and broader commercial legal experience would be advantageous.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to broaden their remit, take ownership of a strategically important area and work closely with senior stakeholders in a fast-paced and evolving international business.
