• Administer the group’s IP portfolio, track filings, renewals and deadlines, and liaise with external IP counsel.
• Organise, file and maintain legal contracts, corporate records and other documentation, ensuring clear and accessible storage.
• Maintain and update legal trackers for contracts, entities, IP and approvals to improve visibility and control.

Required profile

• Highly organised and reliable with a strong sense of ownership over recurring legal workstreams.
• Comfortable working independently in a fast‑paced, international business environment.
• Ability to recognise when to escalate non‑routine or higher‑risk matters to senior legal counsel.
• Experience supporting governance, corporate secretarial or IP administration in a listed‑company context is a plus.
