The role
We are building a legal team and legal support structure for Norton from the ground up. We have made fantastic progress and now need someone to help shape and lead the Norton legal team for the next stage of its growth. The Norton Head of Legal will sit within our Senior Leadership Team and report into the General Counsel TVS Europe (who is also based at Norton). The Norton Head of Legal will be responsible for all Norton legal matters and will lead the Norton legal team.
If candidates want a legal team with all processes and policies already developed and roles clearly defined this is not the role for them. The positive is that this is genuinely a really exciting place to be with passionate people and a strong brand. It also means that we can build a fit-for-purpose future-proof legal function without loads of legacy processes we need to unwind. They need to see the opportunity and want to be part of the journey.
