Sacco Mann is delighted to be working alongside this financial services powerhouse, which has enjoyed some high-profile coverage as a result of some innovative and trailblazing new products. The In-house legal team is an integral function of the entire group and now requires a commercial solicitor to complement the team, which has a base in beautiful north Yorkshire countryside but also offer flexible, hybrid working. This flex and location means the office is commutable from both North and West Yorkshire, as well as some parts of the north west including Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
Reporting directly into the Head of Legal but working closely with the General Counsel and Company Secretary, you’ll join the Commercial Contracts division of the 20-strong Legal & ESG function working closely with stakeholders right across the business to deliver legal advice to support their programme of initiatives to drive forwards the Money and Homes business divisions, Tech, Finance and People.
It’s a group function and you can expect variety and diversity in your caseload within a hugely supportive and friendly culture. We’d expect this is likely to suit a qualified solicitor with at least 5 years PQE in commercial law - some experience of/or familiarity with the financial services arena would be beneficial but not essential.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to make their first move In-house or equally for a candidate looking to take a progressive step in their career, as this position offers the successful candidate accountability, responsibility and autonomy.
A competitive salary is offered alongside a generous package that includes a fantastic pension and bonus. For a confidential conversation about this In-house Counsel role, please contact Steve Shakespeare on 0113 467 9789 or steve.shakespeare@saccomann.com
