Head of Legal, UK

We are Digital Science and we are advancing the research ecosystem. 

We are a pioneering technology company, and our vision is of a future where a trusted and collaborative research ecosystem drives progress for all. We believe in better, open, collaborative and inclusive research. In creating the next generation of tools and working in partnership with the community we tackle some of the biggest challenges to research. In order to achieve our vision, we need innovative, inspiring and dynamic people to join our team. 

The global Digital Science business is scaling up, and is currently advised by a five-member legal team made up of a London-based General Counsel, supported by experienced lawyers working remotely in each of the UK , the US and Germany, and a more junior member in London.

As a senior member of the team, you will work alongside the General Counsel to form a key part of the legal team. The role is broad-based commercial/IT/IP, and while you will be provided with lots of support and opportunities to learn about the business and grow together with it, the position will require someone who takes ownership across a broad remit, has strong in-house experience in a fast-moving international business and works effectively with autonomy, hands-on, with excellent prioritisation skills.
