• Provide high quality legal advice to those parts of the Group within your area of responsibility
• Ensure that legal obligations are met, and legal risks managed, while seeking maximum alignment with the Group’s business objectives and protection of its interests and reputation

This role will suit someone with a curious mind and transferrable skills and experiences, including:
