Legal Executive - Hybrid Working

At Prodrive we believe there's no limit to what can be achieved when the brightest minds come together. Joining one focused and driven team, you will challenge boundaries in order to change the game for our customers. We are the world's leading independent motorsport company and the business behind some of the greatest names and achievements in motorsport over the last 40 years. Our skilled Technicians, Mechanics, Fabricators and Engineers work together every step of the way to design, build and run elite competition cars on the track and off-road across the globe.

Winning profitably is a finely balanced and complex affair and pivotal to our ongoing success is our commercial team. Negotiating and winning contracts requires complex commercial discussions that we then turn into legally binding agreements with partners around the world. As our Legal Executive, you will work with our experienced commercial team to initially support and ultimately take ownership of our client contracts with vehicle manufacturers, sales, sponsorship and race driver agreements and more basic arrangements such as NDAs, ensuring they are correct, legally documented and aligned with our business goals.

A strong problem solver and communicator, your attention to detail, diligence and analytical mind will quickly establish credibility with your technical internal stakeholders ensuring risks, challenges and opportunities are identified and exploited. You'll combine your legal and business education, training and experience with your healthy interest in the contractual and commercial side of reviewing, managing and drafting contracts, non-disclosure agreements and other specialised agreements on behalf of our businesses.

Key responsibilities

• Ensure agreements made with clients, drivers, partners and sponsors are appropriately and legally documented.
• Develop and maintain standard operating procedures for the Prodrive Group's contracting process including the development and maintenance of templates.

Who are we looking for?

Our ideal candidate will have a law degree or master's level legal qualification with a passion for motorsport and an interest in a commercial, business‑focused environment rather than private practice. You will have previous experience operating as a sole legal advisor, with experience in a sporting or motorsport environment considered advantageous but not essential. You will also have demonstrable experience advising on and negotiating high‑value contracts. You will possess strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distil complex legal issues into clear, practical advice that supports effective decision‑making. Highly numerate with strong commercial awareness, you will thrive in a fast‑paced, action‑orientated culture.

What can we offer you?

• An attractive salary which will grow in line with your ongoing development and impact
• 25 days holiday (which increases with long service) with an opportunity to purchase up to 15 extra days
• Training opportunities for continuing professional development
• Onsite subsidised staff restaurant
• Car and pension salary sacrifice schemes
• Cyclescheme
