About The Position

This isn’t a narrow, siloed legal role. As Corporate Legal Counsel, you’ll have the rare opportunity to become a true generalist, working across commercial, real estate, M&A, employment, corporate governance, intellectual property, risk management, and regulatory matters, all within a single fast-moving organization. You’ll work closely with our Operations, HR, Marketing, Procurement, and Corporate Development teams, providing practical, business-enabling legal advice that keeps things moving. Whether you’re drafting a commercial agreement, negotiating a lease, or helping navigate a complex cross-functional issue, you’ll be a trusted partner to the business, not just an order-taker. If you’re a confident, commercially savvy lawyer who thrives in a lean and entrepreneurial environment and wants to grow fast, this role is built for you.
