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 robust 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.
