About the Team

You will join a dynamic global legal team working on a variety of legal issues across the entire company.  You will be required to leverage your expertise, good judgment, and strong business sense to assess and mitigate legal risk while drafting, negotiating and finalising contracts and giving advice at a fast pace.

You will be challenged to look at the big picture to find innovative ways and solutions to assist the business in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment.
