What you’ll be doing

  • Be a trusted legal partner to senior management and teams across the business, providing practical advice on commercial and business law, including contracts, competition, marketing, consumer health and regulatory matters.
  • Draft, review and negotiate commercial agreements, including distribution, manufacturing/CMO, supply, consultancy, logistics/3PL, tender, licensing, settlement and confidentiality agreements.
  • Lead the legal workstream for M&A, licensing and other strategic transactions, covering due diligence, transaction documentation, negotiations, signing, closing and post-closing integration. Coordinate external advisers and work closely with internal stakeholders and counterparties.
  • Own and develop Karo’s legal and compliance framework, policies and processes. Provide legal training, support responsible business practices and manage correspondence with authorities when required.
  • Support group corporate governance, including board and shareholder documentation, restructurings, new legal entity establishment and the maintenance of corporate records.

  • Practical experience in compliance, corporate governance and risk management.
  • Experience working across European markets and navigating different legal and regulatory environments.
  • Previous experience in the healthcare industry is highly favourable, particularly in consumer health, pharmaceuticals or another regulated international business. FMCG experience is also a strong advantage.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
