* Task Order/Statement of Work (details the services to be performed)
* Confidentiality/Non-Disclosure Agreements (CDAs/NDAs)
* Associate Framework Agreements
* Intellectual Property Agreements
* Providing legal support, training and awareness to the Commercial department and the business.
* Maintaining contracts with existing clients and suppliers by being the point of contact.
We welcome applications from candidates looking to work full-time (37 hours per week) or part-time (minimum of 30 hours per week). This position offers the flexibility of hybrid work arrangements, with a minimum of 60% of time in the office.
