The opportunity

This post is based within UAL’s Legal Services team – a highly motivated team of solicitors and legal support staff.

The Legal Services team supports the University with a large and diverse range of projects, collaborations and research activity in the UK and beyond. Each activity requires a suitable written contract to be agreed and signed between the University and relevant third parties.

This post will provide key contract management support to the University’s central units and colleges as directed by General Counsel, Deputy General Counsel, Solicitors and the Senior Contracts Manager from time to time and in accordance with the UAL contracts protocol.
