Job Description

Job Title: Specialist, Legal Compliance

Location: London, Manchester, Hellaby

This role aligns with positions commonly known in the external market as Paralegal, Legal Specialist or Commercial Paralegal.

Role purpose

The Specialist, Legal Compliance supports the Legal function by independently managing moderately complex assignments and projects of medium complexity. Applying detailed knowledge and working with minimal oversight, the role drafts legal documents, reviews checklists and carries out substantive legal research, contributing to contract reviews and other reviews and supporting case management.

The role works widely across the Legal function, collaborating on shared caseloads, offering practical input to refine legal processes, sharing workload insights with more experienced colleagues and providing technical advice to less-experienced staff.

Process improvement and collaboration

  • Offer practical input to refine legal processes and help reduce errors in routine legal operations.
  • Collaborate across the Legal function on shared caseloads and share workload insights with more experienced colleagues.
  • Provide technical advice and guidance to less-experienced colleagues.
  • Give transparent updates on progress and actively share knowledge with colleagues.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft 365 applications, particularly Word, Excel and Outlook.

Desirable

  • Law degree or recognised paralegal or legal qualification, or progress towards one.
  • Experience supporting commercial or government contracts.
  • Experience with legal case management or document management systems.

What good looks like

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.
