Legal Counsel

Sacco Mann is delighted to be working alongside a highly ambitious and growing technology business which has an international reach, delivering enterprise-grade intranet software to over 1,000 customers. Such growth now necessitates the need to recruit an In-house Solicitor, reporting into the Board, helping the organisation succeed in their next phase of their impressive journey. The international HQ is Manchester-based and some weekly office presence would be required in order to help build the legal function, however flexibility and hybrid working is very much on offer.

This is stand alone and autonomous position, reporting to the CFO and supporting the review and approval of commercial / corporate contractual agreements, covering existing and new customers and suppliers. You’ll also review/update contracts and related policies (New Business, Customer, Renewals, Data Protection, Privacy, Interco licence agreements etc) as well as managing all insurance arrangements for the Group, ensuring they are compliant and fit for purpose.

It’s likely to suit a UK qualified solicitor of around 5 years PQE in drafting commercial agreements, ideally within the tech sector (Saas experience is especially useful) and a demonstrable desire to work in a client facing and fast-paced international environment.

It’s a position which is likely to grow in terms of scope and stature through time and would suit an ambitious commercial lawyer with an interest in IT and a desire to move into a position of responsibility. Those contracts gurus with experience in US contracts are particularly welcome to apply.

A competitive salary, commensurate with your level of PQE can be expected. For a confidential conversation, please contact either Steve.Shakespeare@saccomann.com or Sophie.Linley@saccomann.comn on 0113 467 9789 or 0113 236 6711.
