My client is a global Software company looking to hire a Senior Commercial Technology lawyer at 8+ PQE level.
Location / Remote
Company's offices are just out of West London (30-40 min from Waterloo)
The team meet for 1 day in the office once every 1-2 weeks

Role
— International (EMEA) commercial technology lawyer role with 70-80% of the work focused on supporting the company's sales activities

— Excellent manager (I've known them for a few years) + supportive colleagues
— Continuous learning and exchange of best practices
