Job Description

The Governance and Legal team play a critical role in supporting the project by ensuring that we provide external and internal stakeholders with the information they need to be assured that the project is managed diligently and responsibly.

You will be part of a small, highly focused, team of governance and legal practitioners who genuinely care for and support each other, and know how to have fun. We need your help so that the whole team can manage and prioritise their time by providing what they need to streamline their work.
