With our partners, we reach millions through creative communication and trusted media, helping people have their say, understand their rights, responsibilities and each other, and take action to transform their own lives. Our work is funded entirely from donors, governments, foundations, corporate funding and individuals, and is not part of the services funded by the BBC licence fee. Yet we work closely with the BBC, and all our work and outputs comply with BBC Editorial Guidelines. We are now looking for a legal counsel to join our central team, working closely with legal colleagues elsewhere in the BBC News group and with programme teams in our country offices. Role Responsibility Alongside our regional directors and country teams around the world, you will support the negotiation and contracting of agreements with donors, downstream partners, broadcasters, syndication partners and suppliers.

You will support compliant licensing, production and distribution of media content, including audio and audio-visual long form and short form programming, text, as well as content for digital platforms such as interactive voice recognition (IVR) mobile technology, chat bots, and social media sites. You will also help support the collection and sharing of good practice from projects across regions and facilitate knowledge sharing connections between countries. The role also plays a key role in helping to address organisational barriers to effective delivery of programmes and helps to connect country teams to expertise across BBC Media Action and the wider BBC.

This is an interesting opportunity for anyone already in-house or in private practice with charity law experience, to gain wide ranging in-house experience of international work, or for someone already working in the media industry to transition to the non-profit sector. You will have excellent writing and organisational skills; and be comfortable working with and supporting a wide range of colleagues, including remotely in different countries. Your collaboration and communication skills will be strong, with the ability to quickly and effectively form relationships with a range of local and international partners. You will hold a current practicing certificate and you will be able to work independently and contribute effectively to the organisation's working relationship with its legal advisors.
