commercial teams and external stakeholders to facilitate successful deal outcomes.

- Demonstrated expertise in structuring, drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements.
- Experience with telecommunications infrastructure, fibre networks or subsea cable transactions will be highly regarded but is not essential.
- A strong commercial mindset with the ability to assess risk pragmatically rather than adopting an overly conservative legal approach.

- A proactive, solutions-oriented approach with a genuine can-do attitude.
