The posting

About Pikl

Pikl is on a mission to enable the growth of digital marketplaces, starting with vacation rentals. We design and deliver insurance-enabled solutions that help platforms, property managers and owners unlock new revenue and deliver better customer experiences.

Launched in 2019, we began by protecting individual hosts and homeowners with specialist holiday-let cover. That experience now powers our insurance-enabled products, which increase participation, lift conversion and drive revenue across the marketplace value chain: platforms, homeowners and guests.

With offices in Norwich and London, and plans for international expansion, we work with some of the most recognised brands in travel as well as major insurance aggregators.

About the Role

This is a dual-remit role combining in-house legal counsel with company secretarial duties. You’ll build out Pikl’s legal function and capability as the business grows. You’ll be Pikl’s principal source of legal advice, with a strong focus on reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial contracts across the business, and the custodian of good corporate governance, making sure the Board and its committees are well supported and Pikl meets its statutory and regulatory obligations. It’s a varied role for someone who enjoys moving between commercial legal work and the discipline of formal governance, and who the business and the Board both turn to as a trusted advisor.

What you’ll do

- Contracts: review, draft and negotiate supplier, partnership and platform agreements, insurance-related contracts, NDAs and vendor terms. Oversee contract governance so agreements are properly authorised, recorded and reviewed in line with policy, and maintain the templates, playbooks and precedents that keep the business consistent.

- Risk and advice: identify, flag and reduce legal and commercial risk within contracts, escalating material issues to senior stakeholders. Give day-to-day legal advice on commercial, regulatory, employment and general matters, act as the central point of contact for legal across the business, and instruct external law firms where specialist advice is needed.

- Commercial support: support new product launches and partnerships with legal input on structuring and documentation.

- Board and governance: prepare board packs, attend Board and committee meetings, produce accurate, legally sound minutes and maintain the governance calendar. Draft, circulate and maintain Board and shareholder resolutions, and advise the Board on governance frameworks, best practice and codes of conduct.

- Company secretarial: oversee governance and statutory administration across group entities and subsidiaries, prepare and submit Companies House filings, keep statutory registers, company records and constitutional documents in safe custody with consistent version control, and administer the delegated authority framework.

- Risk and Audit Committee: support risk management processes and provide secretarial support to the committee.

- Compliance: lead the Compliance function, overseeing the development, implementation and monitoring of compliance frameworks, policies and controls so regulatory obligations are managed and reported, and foster a strong culture of compliance across the organisation.

- Data protection: oversee data protection compliance, monitor adherence to privacy obligations, advise on data protection risks and act as the primary point of contact with supervisory authorities.

- Horizon scanning: monitor the external legal, regulatory, governance and data protection landscape for emerging risks and changes, and brief the Board and executive leadership on potential impacts and required actions.

What you’ll bring

- A legal or company secretarial qualification: qualified solicitor or lawyer and/or Chartered Company Secretary (CGI/ICSA)

- A strong track record of reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial contracts

- Working knowledge of company law, statutory compliance and corporate governance

- Sound commercial judgement, and the confidence to advise and challenge at Board level

- Excellent drafting, minute-taking and attention to detail, with the organisation to run legal and governance workstreams side by side

- Discretion with confidential and sensitive information

It helps if you have in-house experience, or have worked in a fast-growing, regulated or insurance and financial services business.

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.
