General Manager, Legal (Corporate)

We're looking for a senior, commercially minded corporate lawyer to join a high‑performing legal team within a global organisation. This role is ideal if you enjoy being close to the business, working on high‑value, complex transactions, and having real influence over how deals and governance decisions are made.

You'll operate as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, supporting joint ventures, M&A, project finance, and strategic projects that sit at the heart of the company's growth strategy.

What You'll Be Working On

• Leading joint ventures and strategic partnerships across multiple jurisdictions, from structuring through lifecycle management
• Advising on JV governance, including board structures, minority protections, reserved matters, and deadlock mechanisms
• Managing end‑to‑end M&A transactions, including acquisitions, divestments, and strategic investments
• Supporting project finance and complex financing structures, working closely with lenders, sponsors, and commercial teams
• Developing and embedding governance frameworks and standards across entities and regions

Why You'll Love This Role

• Senior, visible position with genuine influence on business and investment decisions
• Exposure to complex, cross‑border transactions rather than routine legal work
• Opportunity to balance technical depth with commercial judgement
• Broad mandate covering JVs, M&A, finance, and governance — not a narrow specialist role
• Collaborative, high‑calibre environment with strong access to decision‑makers

What We're Looking For

• Qualified lawyer with strong academic credentials
• Typically 15+ years PQE, from top‑tier law firms and/or senior in‑house roles
• Strong experience in joint ventures, M&A, and project finance
• Exposure to large‑scale infrastructure, energy, or EPC‑related projects
• Proven international, multi‑jurisdictional experience
• Commercial, pragmatic, and confident operating with senior stakeholders
