Ready for a Challenge

Whether it’s a Friday-night feast, a post-gym poke bowl, or grabbing some groceries, our tech platform connects tens of millions of customers with hundreds of thousands of restaurant, grocery and convenience partners across the globe.

All about the role

As a Senior Legal Counsel - Competition, you’ll become part of the group Legal Commercial - Partners and Consumers team. We are looking for a driven person with a primary focus on handling competition law matters who is keen to also take a lead role in a strong team. This role will include managing competition authorities investigations and enquiries, advising on competition law elements of contract law negotiations, and building awareness of competition law compliance in all our jurisdictions. This is all critical to our continued growth as a business, and is key to our ability to offer customers a wide range of choice in all markets whilst maintaining JET’s reputation as a brand that customers and partners trust. 

These are some of the key ingredients for the role:

  • You’ll be a true partner to the entire business and advise on ad hoc queries on competition law to many different parts of our business, as well as acting as a sparring partner / sounding board for senior stakeholders and peers.
  • You’ll act as a thought leader for competition law within the Legal & Compliance function, sharing learnings and developments on a regular basis and building processes and self-service tooling where useful to educate the business and create greater efficiency for your stakeholders. 
  • You’ll lead on competition law enquiries from regulators, including by supervising others both within Legal & Compliance and the wider business.
  • You’ll supervise and support the giving of competition law advice on day-to-day matters such as commercial contract negotiations and marketing initiatives by other members of the Legal & Compliance team. 
  • You’ll be part of a fantastic team of legal experts across multiple markets, but will also need to be comfortable working independently, applying specialised knowledge with minimal supervision and limited input from external experts.
  • As a good communicator, you’re able to answer questions and present information in an easy-to-understand way. Balancing legal risk with commerciality and pragmatism is key to success.
  • You may be asked to manage a junior team member, supporting them on day-to-day matters and their longer term development.
  • Anticipated start date: 1 June 2024

Can you deliver?

Here are the skills and experience we need from you:

  • Legal professional qualified in the Netherlands, or the UK or another common law jurisdiction, with at least 8 years experience in competition law, preferably from a combination of private practice and in-house roles.
  • A quick learner with a "can do" attitude and a strong academic record.
  • In depth knowledge of competition law in EU markets. Experience responding to enquiries and managing investigations with competition law regulators is a plus but not essential. Knowledge of competition law in other non-EU markets where JET has a presence is a plus.
  • Confident working across multiple teams and locations on an international role.
  • Some management experience is a plus, but not essential.
  • Able to work autonomously.
  • Prior role(s) in an e-commerce or consumer-facing tech environment is a plus.
  • Excellent English written and oral communication skills and drafting skills. Additional languages are a bonus.
