The successful candidate will have significant proven experience working in a biddable media environment, managing large-scale, complex, results-driven projects with significant budgets, within an agency or large-scale in-house environment. You will be adaptable, used to working at pace and be an excellent communicator, able to influence at all levels and comfortable presenting up to C-Suite colleagues. A strong people manager, you will have good commercial acumen and numerical and data analysis skills as well as a high attention to detail.

The Senior Commercial Solicitor will support the Group’s growing leisure travel business, consisting of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, the UK’s third largest Airline and second largest tour operator.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and well-respected legal team in a large, growing business. Your role will be important and varied with plenty of responsibility across multiple business areas. Working closely with senior management and key stakeholders across the business, you will be responsible for drafting and negotiating robust contracts, as well as advising on a wide range of commercial law matters such as regulatory and compliance, marketing, data protection and intellectual property. The Senior Commercial Solicitor will have a unique opportunity to play a role in shaping the ongoing development of the legal team, whilst developing professionally at the same time.

The successful candidate is likely to have at least four years’ post qualified experience gained at a well-regarded law firm or business (although candidates with more or less PQE who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary to fulfil the role will be considered). Whilst previous in-house experience, and exposure to the travel and aviation sectors is not essential, this would be a distinct advantage.  The ability and desire to work in a fast paced and challenging environment along with exceptional verbal and written communication skills are a must, and experience of technology related contracts is particularly desirable.  You will also be rigorous but commercial and have excellent attention to detail. 

In return, we offer an excellent salary and benefits package with flexible working options and fantastic opportunities for progression in a growing business.

This is a great opportunity to be part of an exciting forward thinking business. We operate scheduled leisure flights to holiday destinations in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands and to European Leisure Cities from our 9 UK bases.
