Hi there this is Mila Read from Found Legal, a niche recruitment agency where we specialise in hiring in-house lawyers for Tech and Life Science companies across Europe and the UK.
My client is a hypergrowth MedTech company looking to hire a Senior Legal Counsel in the UK.
We are looking for a lawyer with experience supporting MedTech or Life Sciences companies.
The business is an established company operating in 30 countries and being valued at $3Bn, with further growth underway in the world’s largest markets. This is a truly ethical business that changes people’s lives globally.
This position requires a proactive, business-minded lawyer with a proven ability to navigate complex legal frameworks in a fast-paced environment.
Responsibilities
* Serve as a trusted advisor to the General Counsel, executive leadership, and strategic business partners, providing proactive and actionable legal advice.
* Leading the development of legal policies and frameworks, ensuring compliance with international healthcare regulations
* Develop and implement legal processes that support the company’s business goals, ensuring compliance with relevant healthcare regulations, data privacy laws, and industry standards.

* Identify, assess, and mitigate legal risks to protect the company’s assets and reputation, providing clear and actionable recommendations.
* Collaborate with cross-functional partners to provide sound legal guidance that aligns with the company’s mission and growth strategies.
Who you are
* The preferred profile is a lawyer with in-house experience at a MedTech or Life Sciences company;
* If such a candidate is not available, we will be considering generalist and commercial lawyers from Tech companies
* You are able to take ownership of complex legal projects from initiation to completion, driving strategic outcomes by anticipating challenges, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and delivering timely, actionable solutions.
* You have exceptional drafting, negotiation, and problem-solving skills, with a keen ability to balance business needs with legal risks.

This role comes with a lot of opportunity, both professionally and income-wise (good salary + equity + bonus), so we are looking for someone who is looking for a step up and is not afraid of the pace of a hypergrowth scale-up that is challenging the world’s monopolist in this B2B MedTech niche.
