Why This Role?

Are you looking to build your commercial legal career within a dynamic technology business?

We're seeking a Legal Assistant to support the review, negotiation and management of commercial agreements across a fast-moving organisation. You'll work closely with legal, sales, procurement and operational teams, helping ensure contracts progress efficiently while protecting the business from legal and commercial risk.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with commercial contract experience, particularly NDAs, who wants to broaden their in-house legal exposure and develop valuable commercial legal skills.

What You'll Be Doing

Reviewing, drafting and coordinating a range of commercial agreements including NDAs, customer contracts and supplier agreements
Supporting contract negotiations and facilitating efficient contract turnaround
Managing contract approvals, execution processes and legal workflows
Maintaining contract management systems, legal records and document repositories
Acting as a first point of contact for routine legal and contractual queries
Supporting sales, procurement and commercial teams with contractual requirements
Conducting legal research and preparing reports, presentations and supporting documentation
Assisting with compliance, governance and risk management activities
Liaising with stakeholders, customers, suppliers and external legal advisers where required
Supporting improvements to legal processes, templates, playbooks and self-service resources
