The Project

The Mace Consult legal team provides legal support for the Mace business worldwide, working from our Global HQ in Moorgate, London and our MEA office in Abu Dhabi. The team is seeking specific support for the Americas hub, with potential for a wider portfolio to include other hubs in a truly global operating environment. The Americas hub spans the US, Canada and several LATAM countries, and the role can be based at any Mace Consult location in the Americas Hub. Candidates should be able to demonstrate a pragmatic, commercial approach to law with expertise in the built‑environment sector. Working with commercial stakeholders and the local leadership team, the idóneo candidate will embed Mace Consult’s global governance programme into the business across the Americas hub, linking into the London‑based legal team but operating day‑to‑day relatively autonomously in a very commercial environment.
