  • Advise on data protection and privacy issues, including personal data handling and cross-border considerations.

  • Identify legal risks and provide clear, practical mitigation strategies aligned with EF's mission and values.

  • Work with and manage external counsel where specialised expertise is required.

  • Improve internal legal templates, playbooks, and workflows.

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of post-qualification legal experience, including training at a top-tier international law firm.

  • Solid experience in corporate and commercial law, with comfort handling employment, IP, and privacy interfaces.

  • Qualification in one or more European jurisdictions; LL.M (US or UK) preferred but not required.

  • Experience advising in international or cross-border environments.

  • Excellent written and spoken English.

  • Strong judgement, professional maturity, and ability to work autonomously.

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a remote, distributed team.
