About this role

The opportunity

Our client is an established international business operating at the intersection of technology, digital commerce and online gaming. It is widely regarded as a premier employer and offers the scale, quality of work and working environment that make opportunities within the business highly sought after.

This is a rare opportunity to join a respected in-house legal team and build broad commercial experience in a fast-moving, international setting. You will work closely with colleagues across the business, taking ownership of agreements and providing practical advice on software, digital and general commercial matters.

What you'll do

• Draft, review and negotiate a range of commercial agreements, including software licences, non-disclosure agreements, services agreements, novation's, amendments and termination documentation.

• Review third-party terms and conditions and advise the business on the legal and commercial implications of entering into them.

• Progress live contract negotiations, liaising directly with customers, suppliers and internal stakeholders.

• Advise on post-contract matters, general contract law, topical legal issues and the legal aspects of business projects.

• Identify legal risk and recommend pragmatic, commercially workable ways to address it.

• Help improve legal processes, protocols, templates and precedents.

• Support business training and awareness initiatives that help colleagues manage legal risk effectively.

• Contribute to wider legal projects and support senior members of the team where required.

What we're looking for

• A qualified solicitor or advocate, ideally with up to five years' post-qualification experience gained in-house or in private practice.

• A sound grounding in commercial contracts, with strong drafting, negotiation and attention-to-detail skills.

• The confidence to take ownership of work, manage competing priorities and see matters through to completion.

• A practical, collaborative approach and the ability to communicate clearly with legal and non-legal stakeholders.

• Curiosity, sound judgement and a genuine desire to keep learning in a dynamic international business.

Particularly relevant experience: technology, software licensing, e-commerce, online gaming or sports betting would be valuable, but candidates with strong transferable commercial experience are also encouraged to apply.

Why this role stands out

• Join one of the Isle of Man's premier and most highly regarded employers.

• Work on varied, commercially meaningful matters with genuine international reach.

• Learn from an experienced in-house legal team while developing greater ownership and autonomy.

• Enjoy an impressive, modern office environment, including access to an on-site gym.

• Benefit from a strong overall reward and benefits package.

• Build experience in an innovative, technology-led sector with long-term career value.
