About the role

You’ll be managed by and work directly with our Associate Legal Counsel on commercial contracts, legal research and due diligence processes, making an impact on our revenue goals from day one.
You’ll work alongside a pod of other Legal and Compliance Executives and have real autonomy to shape the work that you tackle.
As a VC backed scale-up, Zinc will provide you with the opportunity to work on high impact projects right from the get go, giving you opportunities and responsibilities you wouldn’t otherwise have in a large law firm or traditional in-house paralegal role elsewhere.
No previous experience is required for this role, we're happy to speak to fresh graduates straight out of university or their LPC or BPTC. You might already have your training contract or pupillage locked in and want to experience something different for a while, perfect! Or if you're currently working as a paralegal or legal assistant and fancy a change of scenery then get in touch.

Problem-solving prowess. Legal work at Zinc is characterised by a dynamism which means creative and pragmatic problem-solving is a necessity for delivering excellent work and infallible legal solutions.
Impeccable attention to detail. We move at lighting pace at Zinc but we can’t let things slip - in Legal, we mitigate and protect against risks, we don't want to make errors which create risk.
Strong communication skills. You’ll be working with stakeholders across and outside the business, top notch communication is a must have.
Ownership and autonomy. You’ll be given real responsibility from day one and will be expected to run with it and learn on your feet.
Organisational excellence. Projects and tasks come in thick and fast, you’ll need the ability to prioritise and manage your own workflow.
