    About this role

    Our organisation is an all-in-one life skills platform — a scaled, profitable buy-and-build

    business sitting in the space e between pure entertainment and pure education. Built through multiple acquisitions since 2015, our company has consolidated IP, distribution and brand into a single integrated ecosystem of category-leading digital and physical brands, operating internationally across markets including the UK, US and Brazil.

    The role

    You will be the organisation's lead lawyer. This is a hands-on execution role, not a delegation

    role. You'll run matters yourself, bring in external counsel where it makes sense, and own

    the outcome.

    What's on your desk from day one:

    ● Deals. Domestic and international M&A at £150m+ — you lead the legal, from

    structuring through diligence, negotiation and integration.

    ● Group structure. Corporate restructuring and entity work across jurisdictions,

    including live international reorganisation projects.

    ● Governance. Board-level advice on risk, governance and strategic

    decision-making.

    ● Commercial. Negotiating and executing the Group's most complex agreements.

    ● Specialist coordination. Driving tax and IP strategy alongside external advisers,

    and managing counsel across multiple jurisdictions on a sensible budget.

    ● Build. Creating lean, efficient legal processes — enough structure to scale, zero

    bureaucracy.

    Who this suits

    ● A UK qualified lawyer with 8-12 years PQE with a genuinely strong corporate/M&A background — leading law firm and/or a sophisticated in-house or investment environment. This

    is the core requirement; broad commercial generalists won't be the right fit here.

    ● Someone who has personally executed complex, multi-jurisdictional transactions

    — not just supervised them.

    ● A confident adviser who builds credibility fast with founders and boards, and

    challenges them constructively when it counts.

    ● Resilient, adaptable and comfortable with ambiguity — you triage well, hold your

    nerve, and get things done without being handed a playbook.

    ● Commercially curious, with judgement that extends well beyond the legal silo.

    Experience in private equity, family office or acquisitive, investment-backed businesses is

    a strong plus.

    Why take it

    ● Genuine seat at the table: direct, daily exposure to the CEO and leadership on the

    decisions that matter.

    ● Deal flow and complexity most in-house roles can't offer — international M&A,

    restructuring and strategic projects, back to back.

    ● Full autonomy to build the legal function your way.

    ● Equity participation: you share in what you help build.
