About Elixirr
Elixirr International plc is a global consulting firm with a bold ambition: to become the best consulting firm in the world. 

Founded in 2009 to challenge a declining industry standard, we’ve grown from a single vision into a powerhouse of entrepreneurial talent, delivering boardroom strategy through to execution. 

After IPO-ing on AIM in July 2020, Elixirr moved to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in July 2025. In that time, our market cap has grown from £98 million to over £350 million – a testament to our differentiated approach and relentless pursuit of excellence. 

With a presence across the UK, US, EU, and South Africa, and a client base spanning industries and geographies, we’ve welcomed seven boutique firms into the Group. This has broadened our capabilities across creative, digital marketing, data and AI, procurement, transformation, and more. 

Our vision of becoming a services unicorn is firmly within reach – and this is just the beginning. We’re looking for exceptional talent to join us on this exciting growth journey and shape the future of consulting. 

Job Summary

You will be primarily responsible for supporting with the reviewing, drafting and negotiating a wide range of international commercial contracts, particularly engagement and services contracts with Elixirr Group clients and suppliers. You will support Elixirr Partners and Principals with the drafting and negotiation of client engagements.

You will also work with the Elixirr Operations team on internal matters such as commercial contracts, employment related contracts, share option arrangements, policies and data protection, and on the post-closing integration of acquired businesses.

You will work with the Elixirr acquisitions team to provide in-house legal advice in respect of acquisitions of new businesses as part of Elixirr’s growth strategy and will work with Elixirr’s acquisitions team and, from time to time, with external lawyers (in the UK and internationally, particularly in the US) and support with the due diligence process for potential acquisitions.

You will be an integral part of the legal team and have five experienced lawyers to offer guidance and support on achieving commercial solutions. The right candidate will have the ambition to develop into a more senior role with specific responsibilities within the Elixirr Group to support Elixirr’s ambitious growth strategy.

The successful candidate will be personable, confident, proactive, commercial, entrepreneurial and unfazed by challenges, and must have strong written and oral communication and drafting skills, excellent attention to detail and be able to exercise sound pragmatic judgement.
