We are working with a rapidly scaling business with a global footprint across Europe, the Middle East and Africa that specialises in supply-chain management including logistics, freight-forwarding, transportation, trade finance and security services. Our client does a significant amount of work into sub-Saharan Africa, but also acts on other matters such as providing a tech software platform for supply-chain components.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an international team, where you will be working across different verticals of the business and reporting directly to the Group General Counsel in a position of authority. It is essential that applicants have a strong background in trade finance in areas including letters of credit, uncommitted facilities, risk participation agreements, indemnities, trade payables and trade advance facilities. Exposure to commodity finance would also be highly regarded. Day-to-day responsibilities include contract reviews, structuring and negotiation, especially with third parties, among other commercial/regulatory matters.
Candidates should ideally have a minimum of 4 years of legal experience working for leading international law firms and in-house functions. The successful candidate will be qualified as a Lawyer and have an EU, Swiss or UK passport. Although not essential, spoken/written fluency in French would be appreciated.
Remuneration: £125,000 – £135,000 tax free + benefits.
