Head of Legal - high growth SaaS/Tech company - West Midlands

We are delighted to be working exclusively with a high-growth business in the SaaS/Technology sector, in their search for a Head of Legal. The company is in a strong position, and on the back of a recent private equity takeover, they are now in a exciting growth phase. They are seeking an experienced commercial lawyer with a good understanding of complex commercial contracts negotiations, compliance & data matters, to lead on the business as usual commercial law matters and managing a small team. If that opportunity is something that is exciting to you, then this opportunity is definitely something to look at. You will report directly into the CEO, and get the chance to look at how legal operations are being run and design & implement more sophisticated and efficient ways of working, but the main focus of the role will be the business as usual, core commercial contracts. The role is appropriate for either: a) a senior commercial lawyer seeking a step up into a Head of Legal role, where you will be responsible for leading on the business as usual, core commercial contracts, along with the usual amount of stakeholder management that comes with being the lead lawyer in the organisation, as well as managing the more junior lawyers and compliance professionals; or b) a lawyer already operating at Head of Legal level who wants a more dynamic growth environment. What is key is that you have worked in either the SaaS/Technology sector and / or a customer facing / sales orientated business. The base salary is circa £130,000 with some attractive wider perks. The business operates a hybrid working policy and require some office contact in the West Midlands office.
