HEAD OF LEGAL, MEDIA PLANNING & BUYING

CONTRACT ROLE, START ASAP

WEST LONDON

We are delighted to be working with one of the Europe's best known advertising groups, to recruit an experienced Head of Legal for Media Planning & Buying. You will support a number of household name agencies across a wide range of matters. The role will report to the GC for the Group and has one direct report. We need someone who is able to start ASAP.

The remit is likely to include:

  • supporting pitch activity for UK and international pitches - reviewing RFP tender packs, coordinating stakeholders (e.g. tax, insurance, data protection, global security), completing tender contract qualifications.
  • negotiating agency-client agreements throughout RFP phases and from award to completion.
  • post-completion contract activity during the life of the contract.
  • supporting the business in structuring and rolling out new products and services, as well as on compliance and regulatory matters, as necessary.

There are development opportunities within the role as the team has gone through a recent re-structure and this will suit a flexible, unflappable and commercial TMT lawyer, ideally with a media agency background.
