JOB: 3529

In-house Counsel

• Join a not-for-profit that values professionalism, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence

• Advise and work closely with the executive and senior stakeholders

• Enjoy flexibility, including WFH and flexible start/finish times

KBE Legal Talent has been briefed by a well-regarded not-for-profit organisation. We are looking to speak with Senior In-house Counsel who are seeking a challenging feel-good role with no two days the same.

About the role:

This is a broad role leading the organisation’s in-house legal and commercial functions. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders to deliver clear, pragmatic and solutions-focused advice, while building strong relationships across the organisation.

This is a true generalist role, suited to a commercially astute lawyer who enjoys variety and is comfortable working across multiple disciplines and turning their hand to new tasks as required.

Your key responsibilities may include:

• Providing legal advice across commercial, employment/HR, corporate, property, litigation, and regulatory matters.

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a broad range of commercial contracts, including service agreements, supplier contracts and property contracts.

• Advising on employment and industrial relations issues and negotiations, while managing complex industrial matters with a focus on risk and compliance.

• Managing external legal counsel, including briefing, oversight, and cost management.

• Advising on governance and board obligations, providing company secretarial support, and driving risk and continuous improvement.

Who we’re looking for:

We would like to speak with commercial lawyers with 8-14+ years’ PAE, with experience working in mid/top-tier firms, leading boutique firms or a similar generalist in-house environment. You will have a strong commercial mindset with the ability to deliver clear, strategic advice, work with full autonomy and have the ability to lead teams and collaborate cross-functionally. Experience in HR/employment law is desirable, but not essential.

What are some of the benefits?

• Work with an organisation that is truly making a difference and see the direct impact of your work.

• Flexible working arrangements, including adjustable start/finish times and WFH.

• Generous annual leave entitlements, plus additional corporate, health and wellbeing initiatives.

• High level of autonomy, supported by a collaborative executive team.
