Job description

This is an award-winning, global software company operating at the intersection of media, data, and technology.

The business is a recognised market leader in its space, trusted globally and continuing to scale. It’s fast-moving, commercially minded, and values smart decision-making over red tape, which is exactly why this role exists.

Who Is This Role For?

This role is ideal for someone who wants to:

  • Be in an in-house (or step into a more influential in-house role)
  • Work for a forward-thinking tech business, not a traditional corporate
  • Be close to the action working directly under the Directors
  • Shape and build, not just review and approve
  • Own a function and see their work genuinely influence the business

You’ll be inside the leadership circle, trusted to balance commercial outcomes with legal risk, and given the space to design how things should work, not just how they’ve always been done.

The Role

As Commercial Manager (Legal & Contracts), you’ll take ownership of the company’s commercial contracts and legal framework, partnering closely with the Directors and senior stakeholders across the business.

This is a foundational in-house role.

You’ll be responsible for shaping how contracts, compliance, and commercial risk are managed as the company continues to grow locally and internationally.

Over time, there is clear scope to build and lead a team, making this a strong long‑term opportunity for someone who wants to grow with the business.

What You’ll Be Doing

Rather than sitting on the sidelines, you’ll be actively shaping the function. This includes:

  • Owning and evolving the commercial contracts framework across the business
  • Acting as the go‑to commercial and legal partner for Sales and Leadership
  • Supporting negotiations and tenders with clear, commercially minded advice
  • Designing smarter templates, processes, and guardrails that enable growth
  • Managing external counsel and ensuring compliance keeps pace with scale
  • Playing a key role in data protection, ISO standards, and global compliance
  • Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and support revenue

This is a role where you build the system, not just operate within it.

About You

You’re commercially minded, confident, and comfortable taking ownership.

You likely bring:

  • Experience in a commercial contracts or legal role (total of 3 years PQE at least), ideally from a SaaS / Software or Tech company
  • In‑house experience or training from a reputable law firm
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to influence senior stakeholders

Why Join?

  • Salary up to $135K Base + Super
  • Award-winning, global tech business with strong market credibility
  • High‑impact in‑house role working directly with Directors
  • Opportunity to shape and grow the legal function
  • Flexible hybrid working (2–3 days from home)
  • Supportive, progressive culture that values trust and autonomy
