• Proven track record in drafting and negotiating international agreements
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to balance legal risk with business objectives
• Excellent communication skills and stakeholder engagement experience
• Ideally, experience in a commercial in-house environment, but strong private practice candidates with the right commercial mindset will be considered

This is a role for a skilled, adaptable lawyer who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and making a direct impact in a fast-growing organisation.
