Are you a legal expert with great negotiation skills looking for a better work/life fit?
As Legal Counsel at Cambridge Intelligence, you’ll be a key member of our established in-house legal team, advising on all legal aspects of our software licensing contracts.
What’s involved?
You’ll assist with various legal tasks relating to software licensing from drafting, contract negotiations and red-lining, and a broad range of other legal work. You’ll report to our Head of Legal, and join our friendly legal team of four.
Who’s the ideal candidate?
We are looking for an organised and experienced legal professional, who has great negotiation and drafting skills and who enjoys learning and building relationships inside and outside the business. Experience of software licensing and multi-jurisdiction negotiation is highly desirable.
This is a busy and exciting role in a friendly and supportive team. You’ll get involved with the following, among other things:
- Contract drafting, using templates/precedents as appropriate, including royalties.
- Contract review and negotiation
- Dealing with various legal matters beyond software licensing, including data protection laws, anti-bribery, recruitment/immigration laws, review of third-party terms and conditions, etc.
- Assisting our internal customer success team with contract renewals including advice, drafting of renewal letters/variations and drafting of new license agreements.
- Providing ad hoc legal support to our other internal teams on a wide variety of matters.
Who you’ll work with
You’ll work very closely with our customer success and sales teams, but also with other departments across the business.
Opportunities to grow
Everyone here gets funded professional development time, with five days and an allocated budget each year to learn new skills.
Be yourself
We want to build a fair, respectful and welcoming company, where everyone feels at home. That means taking a long-term approach to equality, diversity and inclusion – not treating it as a tick box exercise.
With the help of our EDI group, we’re working to make every aspect of the business – including recruitment – fair, respectful and inclusive.
