  • Advise on customer-facing UK&I deals from opportunity qualification, RFI/RFP/tender and bid stages through negotiation, signature and post-signature support.

  • Strong commercial judgement and ability to explain legal risk in business-friendly, executive-ready language.
  • Confidence to influence senior stakeholders and collaborate with sales, delivery, commercial, finance, bid, data protection and security teams.
  • Strong drafting and negotiation skills, including the ability to propose workable compromise wording and practical mitigation options.
