Job Description

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

You’ll be a trusted legal partner to the business, delivering strategic and commercial legal support across all activities.
Partner with the business to provide sharp legal and strategic support across all activities. Lead resource management—including external and junior legal teams—to meet evolving business needs. Drive knowledge sharing, training, and mentoring to build expertise. Stay ahead of legal risks and compliance challenges through proactive horizon-scanning and planning. Own all legal agreements for SAS Energy, expertly drafting and negotiating contracts across projects. Act as a trusted advisor to project leads, delivering timely, practical legal solutions that keep projects on track. Identify risks and brief senior leadership and shareholders to support informed decisions.
Manage external legal counsel efficiently and lead key compliance and documentation projects to strengthen SAS Energy’s legal foundation.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BE GREAT AT THIS ROLE?

We’re looking for a sharp, commercially-minded legal professional with 6–7+ years’ post-qualification experience—ideally in the renewable energy sector or a similarly fast-paced, regulated environment.
You’ll be confident drafting and negotiating complex construction, commercial, and corporate contracts, with deep knowledge of UK law and energy regulation. You’ve got a proven track record of shaping legal strategy, delivering results, and managing risk in high-stakes environments.
We want someone who can thrive under pressure, communicate clearly across all levels of the business—including shareholders—and turn complex legal issues into practical, actionable advice. You’ll be detail-oriented, well-organised, and bring strong drafting, research, and prioritisation skills—plus a flexible, business-focused mindset that drives smart decisions.
