Job description

As Commercial and Legal Support Officer you will provide practical, hands-on legal and contract support across the organisation and contribute to meeting objective as we implement a new, temporary structure as part of a planned sabbatical. This is an opportunity to help colleagues manage legal risk well, improve how we work with third parties, and ensure the charity can deliver timely, proportionate support across a varied and busy portfolio of activity.

You’ll provide practical legal and commercial support across the organisation, focusing on contract review, negotiation and day-to-day advice. This includes supporting a range of agreements (e.g. suppliers, partnerships and data), helping colleagues understand risks in plain English, and maintaining contract records and key dates.  You’ll be organised, pragmatic and comfortable managing multiple priorities. You can explain legal issues clearly to non-legal colleagues and work collaboratively to find solutions that balance risk and delivery.
