char.gy is looking for a Commercial and Legal Analyst to support char.gy in successfully bidding for new contracts, and upon successful award, to work with the relevant teams to implement and negotiate those contracts and subsequently help manage them on an ongoing basis.

• Supporting the legal team on third party supplier matters.
• Working with other teams across the business including Delivery, Product Development, Partnerships, Data, and Finance in order to gather and synthesise information that can be used to inform business cases.
