• Managing contract workflows and stakeholder engagement across the business.
• Assisting with legal risk assessment and contract-related queries.
• Providing general commercial legal support to a busy in-house legal team.

About You

• Experienced paralegal with strong commercial contracts exposure.
• Comfortable reviewing and negotiating agreements with minimal supervision.
• Previous in-house experience is highly desirable.
