Senior Legal Counsel

Are you ready to take your legal career to extraordinary heights? Join a globally admired luxury brand, renowned for its impeccable craftsmanship and bold innovation. We're seeking a Senior Legal Counsel to become a trusted advisor to be at the heart of the business, working directly with the CEO and playing a pivotal role on the Senior Leadership Team.
This is more than a legal role-it's a strategic partnership. You'll be the driving force behind our legal operations, guiding the business across sales, marketing, operations, procurement, and finance. Your sharp legal mind will craft and negotiate complex agreements that reflect our commitment to excellence and commercial success.
You'll lead on corporate governance and compliance, ensuring our holding company and subsidiaries meet the highest regulatory standards. From preparing board materials to overseeing policies on anti-bribery, GDPR, and beyond, your influence will be felt across every corner of the organisation.
Your expertise in managing high-stakes disputes and regulatory investigations will be essential, particularly within a manufacturing or production-based environment. You'll also play a key role in banking and financing arrangements, ensuring our financial strategies align with our brand's values and ambitions.
This is a role for a leader-a mentor who inspires, a collaborator who builds bridges, and a visionary who sees the bigger picture. Your ability to engage with external stakeholders, including government bodies and trade organisations, will elevate our brand's reputation and support our global growth.
With a strong foundation in both private and public company environments, you bring deep knowledge of corporate governance, commercial contracts, and risk management. But more than that, you believe in people. You know that investing in talent is the key to long-term success-and you're ready to lead by example.
If you're ready to make your mark on a world-class brand and thrive in a role where your legal expertise drives real impact, apply now and be part of our journey to redefine luxury.
