Senior Legal Operations Officer

We're supporting a growing and forward-thinking CRM business in the search for a Senior Legal Officer to join its expanding team.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership, improving the way a business operates, and building practical legal and operational solutions rather than simply providing legal support.

As a key member of the team, you will play an important role in reviewing commercial agreements, strengthening internal processes, implementing policies and procedures, and identifying opportunities to improve the company's legal and operational framework.

Your responsibilities will include:

Reviewing, drafting and negotiating a broad range of commercial contracts and agreements with customers, suppliers and business partners.
Identifying legal, commercial and operational risks within agreements while providing practical, business-focused recommendations.
Developing, implementing and maintaining internal legal procedures, policies, templates and governance documentation.
Reviewing existing workflows and proactively identifying opportunities to improve processes, systems and efficiencies across the business.
Driving continuous improvement initiatives, ensuring legal and operational processes remain scalable as the business continues to grow.
Working closely with management and internal stakeholders to support strategic projects and day-to-day commercial decisions.
Assisting with corporate governance, regulatory compliance and general legal matters affecting the business.
Supporting the implementation of new systems, controls and best practices to improve consistency, efficiency and risk management.
Monitoring legislative and regulatory developments relevant to the business and recommending any required changes.
Acting as a trusted business partner by delivering practical, commercially focused legal support across multiple departments.

We're looking for someone who:

Has previous experience in a legal, commercial contracts or in-house legal role.
Enjoys reviewing and improving existing processes rather than simply maintaining them.
Takes initiative, challenges the status quo and is motivated to make a tangible impact.
Has strong contract drafting and negotiation skills.
Possesses excellent organisational, communication and stakeholder management skills.
Is commercially minded and able to balance legal risk with practical business objectives.
Is comfortable working independently while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

An attractive remuneration package is being offered for this role.

If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely influence how a business operates, improve systems and processes, and become a valued member of a growing organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
