The role

Are you looking to make the leap as a corporate legal advisor to a leading multinational in retail and consumer technology services in the Iberian Peninsula and lead the legal strategy for its operations in Spain? If you have a solid technical foundation in corporate law and commercial contracting, you are a member of a Spanish Bar Association, and you are looking for an international project with a high degree of autonomy, direct interaction with the business, and professional projection, this opportunity is for you. From Randstad Professionals, a consultancy specialized in the selection of executive profiles and qualified middle management, we are selecting a Corporate Legal Counsel for Spain.

What you'll do

As Corporate Legal Counsel, you will assume a role of maximum visibility and responsibility within the group's legal department. Directly replacing the current lawyer of the area, you will be the strategic legal point of reference for the steering committee and the various business units in Spain, combining the rigor of corporate governance with the dynamism inherent to commercial negotiation in retail, cross-functional due diligence projects, and regulatory implementation. What will your mission be?

Legal Monitoring and Business Advisory: You will lead the continuous legal coverage of key business areas in Spain, issuing opinions, practical recommendations, and proposing operational solutions with maximum legal rigor.
Commercial Contracting and Negotiation: You will assume the analysis, drafting, review, and negotiation of high-complexity commercial and mercantile contracts with suppliers, strategic partners, distributors, and logistics operators.
Corporate Governance and Corporate Secretarial: You will manage the corporate scope of the group's companies in Spain (an environment of high bureaucratic demand and large document volume), supervising agreements, meetings, powers of attorney, and registry filings.
Due Diligence and Strategic Projects: You will participate in legal audit processes (due diligence) and corporate operations, and you will drive the implementation and adaptation of directives and regulatory updates within the company's internal procedures.
