- You will work closely with several leaders in the business and external parties on a variety of work ranging from debt recovery, disputes, supplier contracts, sales agreements, and employee relations matters.
- You dislike taking a passive, risk averse approach to legal matters and enjoy taking a proactive, creative and commercial approach to legal and compliance as an advisor to the business.

- You have a strong passion for data, reporting, drafting / reviewing agreements and working closely with your stakeholders.

- You ideally have prior experience in either a startup or scaleup either as a solo in-house lawyer or working as the 2IC in a small in-house team.
- You are enthusiastic, determined, resilient and apply commercial thinking
