Legal Assistant
Slough (Head Office)

We operate a dynamic working model built on trust, choice and balance. Colleagues typically connect in person 3 days per week, as we know the best ideas and relationships grow when we collaborate side by side.

We also offer Dynamic Friday Hours, giving colleagues the opportunity to flex their time and finish early on a Friday, where the role allows.

Join our snack-loving team
We’re looking for a Legal Assistant to join us at KP Snacks. If you’re ready to bring your ideas to the table, grow your skills and be part of a team that values what makes you, you – this could be your next big move.

Who are we?
We’re KP Snacks, part of the Intersnack family. Across more than 30 countries, over 15,000 of us work together to make the snacks people love – from Hula Hoops to McCoy’s. In the UK, we’re a team of around 2,400 colleagues, based across seven sites and our Slough HQ. We’re proud of our close-knit culture, where we speak up, celebrate differences and push boundaries together.

• KP4ME benefits platform with discounts, cashback and wellbeing support

• Enhanced family-friendly policies to support colleagues at every stage of life

What will you be doing?

• Coordinating legal administration
  Providing day-to-day support to the Legal team, managing shared inboxes, preparing legal documents and reports, scheduling meetings, maintaining records and supporting invoice and budget administration

• Managing contracts and legal documentation
  Supporting the end-to-end contract administration process, tracking approvals and signatures, maintaining contract databases, monitoring renewal dates and ensuring agreements are stored accurately and securely

• Supporting governance activities
  Preparing Board and Committee papers, maintaining governance records, coordinating document execution and supporting annual compliance and governance processes

• Delivering stakeholder support across the business
  Acting as a first point of contact for routine legal enquiries, directing requests appropriately and building strong relationships with colleagues, external legal providers and business stakeholders

• Driving continuous improvement
  Identifying opportunities to improve processes, supporting legal technology initiatives, maintaining document templates and helping the Legal function adopt smarter and more efficient ways of working

We’d love to hear from you if you can bring:

• Strong organisational and administrative skills
  Experience managing multiple priorities, coordinating activities and maintaining accurate records in a busy environment

• Excellent attention to detail and discretion
  Able to handle confidential information with integrity while producing consistently accurate, high-quality work

• Strong Microsoft Office capability
  Confident using Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint to manage information, prepare documentation and support stakeholders

• A proactive and improvement-focused mindset
  Someone who enjoys finding smarter ways of working, embraces new technology and takes ownership for making processes better

• Great communication and relationship-building skills
  Able to work effectively with colleagues at all levels, provide excellent customer service and demonstrate a genuine interest in legal and governance activities
