What do we have to offer?

Reporting to the Head of Legal (UK&I) who is based in England, you will form part of a dynamic and diverse Group Legal team that supports the whole of the SD Worx business.

You will provide general commercial legal support to the business whilst advising and monitoring all applicable aspects of law relating to the company's business operations.
