ALL ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Corporate Legal Counsel, you’ll become part of the group Legal Corporate team. We are looking for a driven person with a broad interest in handling M&A activities and projects. This role will include providing pragmatic advice and support to the Director Corporate Legal and to the global JET business on various cross-functional projects. You will take the lead on projects relating to (i) M&A matters, including international mergers, acquisitions and divestments; (ii) intercompany projects, such as restructuring and recapitalisation initiatives; and (iii) external financing, such as bonds, RCF and notes.
You will coordinate and actively cooperate with other stakeholders such as tax, treasury and finance as well as the business. In addition, you will actively cooperate with the Commercial Legal Team and the Privacy Team to train and improve the business’ understanding and mitigate risks for JET on key M&A themes such as confidential information and competition. In addition, there will be a strong focus on building and containing knowhow within the Corporate Legal team, by drafting, streamlining and improving documents, processes and policies. This is all critical to our continued growth as a business, and maintaining JET’s reputation as a brand that customers, partners and investors trust.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE KEY INGREDIENTS FOR THE ROLE:

• You’ll provide legal support to the Director Corporate Legal and the business on M&A, intercompany and financing projects.
• You’ll be responsible for high-quality advice and documents with minimal supervision.
• You’ll be developing in-house standards and precedents.
• You’ll ensure that M&A and related risks are managed and escalated as necessary.
• You’ll ensure compliance with applicable legislation.
• You’ll support and guide your colleagues in the Corporate Legal team on corporate restructuring initiatives as time permits.
• You’ll be part of a fantastic team of legal experts across multiple markets, but will also need to be comfortable working independently, applying specialised knowledge with minimal supervision and limited input from external experts.
• As a good communicator, you’re able to answer questions and present information in an easy-to-understand way. Balancing legal risk with commerciality and pragmatism is key to success.
