WE EXIST TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF ATHLETES AND TEAMS Our mission is to improve the performance of athletes and teams, which we do by engineering the premier technology platform for sport. We've been at the forefront of sports technology and science since 2006 - we don't just work in the sporting industry, we are actively changing its future. Our solutions are designed to help athletes and coaches "play smart" in a world where 1% can literally mean the difference between winning and losing. We work with over 4,000 teams around the world, empowering coaches, managers and trainers in premier teams in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, EPL, AFL, NRL, NCAA and more. We provide the information they need to optimize athletes' health, game-day readiness, and performance, as well as in-game tactics. Our solutions include wearable technology, video analytics, and athlete monitoring solutions, and we are passionate about helping sports organizations at all levels to better scout, recruit, teach, and win. WE WANT A LEGAL INNOVATOR WHO IS PASSIONATE ABOUT DRIVING IMPACT We're looking for an exceptional General Counsel to join our growing, fast-paced organisation. This is a multifaceted role that requires a mix of strategic vision, a commercial mindset, and hands-on execution. This role manages a wide range of responsibilities, including global commercial support, ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations, managing a growing portfolio of intellectual property, and driving the enhancement of Catapult's legal policies, systems, and overall compliance. The role works across a broad range of commercial matters engaging with teams at every level and function. In addition to legal expertise, the ability to bring sharp business acumen is a key requirement to be successful. The role is based in either Boston, USA or London, UK, with occasional global travel, and reports to the Chief Financial Officer (Boston based). WHAT YOU'LL DO Own the legal review process for all commercial activities, including a wide range of technology licensing, supply and partnering contracts; develop and implement contract review SLAs in conjunction with business leaders to ensure ongoing alignment. Provide legal guidance on privacy and data protection issues. Develop and implement privacy policies and procedures. Ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other global data protection laws. Act as internal legal advisor on all intellectual property matters, including working with internal stakeholders and external counsel to manage, build, protect and enforce the asset portfolio. Oversee third-party Corporate Secretary function, handling Board and Board committee secretarial processes, meeting schedules, agendas, papers, and minutes. Ensure the company complies with its ASIC, ASX, and other statutory obligations around the world, ensuring all governance requirements are met across all corporate entities (including continuous disclosure). Develop, implement, champion, communicate and maintain compliance policies, registers, processes and procedures - this may involve collaborating with other leaders, for example People & Culture for employment and CSR related policies. Work with business teams to explore potential corporate development opportunities, including conducting or overseeing due diligence, liaising with external counsel to negotiate and execute deals, and coordinating internal Board reviews and approvals. Keep abreast of market developments and changes in laws impacting Catapults' business, ensuring compliance throughout, including in particular sports law, data privacy and data security issues. Contribute to internal policy development across all functions as needed. Support other executives on legal matters in their areas as needed, including employee dispute resolution, establishment of new programs, engagement with new service providers, etc. Coordinate efficient legal resourcing solutions, including cost-effective use of external legal resources for the full range of the above matters as needed (may also include sourcing external counsel support in new countries). WHAT YOU'LL NEED An appropriate professional legal qualification and active law license. 15+ years experience in a mixture of attorney/solicitor and in-house legal roles, with particular expertise in technology, intellectual property and data privacy. Experience as a company secretary or with a public company would be an advantage. Experience managing through corporate transactions, intellectual property matters, and disputes. ABOUT YOU You are commercially minded, able to consistently exercise good judgment, and understand the key drivers of the business and how to navigate through legal issues in a way that supports commercial success. You are a structured thinker with high IQ and EQ that brings a data-driven approach to your work. You are a dedicated and adept problem-solver. You are a natural relationship builder, with strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills; you have the ability to influence positive outcomes at all levels of the business. You have a collaborative work style and a roll-up your sleeves attitude; deep sense of personal ownership, and willingness to "do the work" as opposed to just overseeing or managing the work. You are able to successfully manage competing priorities and responsibilities; you can work fully independently on key initiatives and are equally comfortable acting under close instruction when needed. You possess global awareness and can operate effectively in a globally dispersed organisation and are comfortable with the challenges of doing so from a timezone and work schedule perspective. You are straightforward and personally confident being able to give, seek and receive feedback constructively. WHY CATAPULT? We have amazing people. We can promise you will work with some of the most ambitious and intelligent people in an exciting industry, and you will do some of the best work of your life. We encourage our people to have constructive, open and honest communication in order to make Catapult extraordinary; innovate and create smart solutions; establish a collaborative, yet challenging, environment to develop our performance and the performance of our customers. Our workforce spans more than 20 countries, you'll have the opportunity to work across multiple nationalities and cultures, and build your global awareness and capability. We value improvement and development. We are challenging ourselves to continuously grow and become a high-performance company. That means we maintain a growth mindset in everything we do, and our people are always looking for ways to do things better. There is unlimited opportunity to grow, do more, and do better.
