Associate Lawyer

We are looking for two talented and commercially minded lawyers to join our Group Legal team. This is an excellent opportunity to work at the heart of a major financial services business, advising on varied, high-profile matters and helping colleagues turn ambitious ideas into practical, well-managed outcomes.

You will join a friendly, collaborative in-house team and work closely with stakeholders across the business. You will have meaningful responsibility from the outset, together with support from experienced colleagues and genuine opportunities to broaden your expertise.

If you are a commercially focused lawyer looking for a varied in-house role where you can make an impact, develop your career and work with talented colleagues, we would love to hear from you. We welcome applications from candidates with experience gained in private practice, in-house or across both environments.

• Draft, review and negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements, including technology, software, cloud, data, outsourcing, consultancy, licensing and other supplier and strategic contracts.
• Provide clear, practical and solutions-focused legal advice on commercial, technology, data protection and related regulatory issues.
• Support procurement, transformation, digital and operational projects from early-stage planning through to contract signature and implementation.
• Identify, explain and help manage legal and regulatory risk while enabling the business to achieve its commercial objectives.
• Build trusted relationships with stakeholders and work collaboratively with colleagues across Legal, Procurement, Data, Technology, Risk and the wider business.
• Contribute to legal templates, guidance, training and improvements to the way legal services are delivered.
• Manage matters independently, escalating appropriately and supporting other members of the team when needed.

These are hybrid roles based in Cardiff. You must be able to work from our Cardiff office two or three days each week, enabling you to build strong relationships and collaborate closely with the team and business stakeholders. We also support flexible working outside those office days.

• Interesting, varied work within a well-known financial services business.
• Direct exposure to important commercial, data and technology projects.
• A supportive team that values good judgement, curiosity, openness and practical problem-solving.
• Opportunities to develop your expertise and influence how legal support is delivered.
• A flexible working environment, with time together in Cardiff forming an important part of how we collaborate.

Please note - we may close this vacancy early if we receive lots of applications or business priorities change.
