GENERAL MANAGER / SENIOR LEGAL & COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR

Baltic Capital Partners is an internationally focused advisory and investment business headquartered in Europa Tower, Vilnius. Through our Gateway to Europe programme, we work with high-net-worth individuals and successful international entrepreneurs, investors seeking to establish, expand or enhance their business and lifestyle in Lithuania and the wider European market.

Our activities include European residency, corporate structures, property and investment opportunities, commercial representation and ongoing local support. The business has recently expanded to create a base in Paris, and includes plans for a base later in Rome, we are seeking a senior executive who can progressively become a genuine second-in-command to the Owner and CEO to help develop and implement these and other growth plans.

This is not just a conventional legal position. We are looking for a dynamic General Manager or someone in a senior legal position seeking career advancement, with strong senior legal and commercial experience who can combine strategic judgement with practical execution. The successful candidate will take increasing responsibility for day-to-day management, staff performance, commercial negotiations, profitability, legal protection and execution of the company’s strategy.

You should be equally comfortable reviewing a complex agreement, recruiting or managing staff, negotiating with a supplier or client, understanding financials and the mechanics of a growing business, improving internal processes, protecting the company from legal exposure and identifying profitable opportunities within existing and new client relationships and markets.

We are in the excellence business. Our clients are successful international business people who expect intelligent advice, discretion, responsiveness and execution.

We therefore operate a merit-driven culture built around personal responsibility, professionalism, initiative, resilience and accountability for outcomes.

Once a matter is assigned, the expectation is that you own it.

The CEO will not repeatedly chase deadlines, manage your personal task list, substantially rewrite routine correspondence or identify every next step. The purpose of this appointment is to reduce the CEO’s operational involvement, not add another layer of supervision.

Legal advice should be commercial and practical: identify the issue, explain the risk, set out the options, make a recommendation and drive the matter to completion.

As a senior member of a relatively small team, you will have meaningful influence over profitability and performance. We want someone who thinks increasingly like an owner: identifying ways to increase revenue, improve margins, reduce unnecessary external expenditure, strengthen client relationships and improve team productivity.

Following an agreed trial period and demonstrated performance, the company intends to consider a meaningful performance and profitability-linked bonus structure. This may reflect overall company performance, revenue growth, commercial contribution, successful development of additional client services, cost control and team productivity.

Strong performance will create greater responsibility, influence and financial reward.

We would normally expect approximately 7-10+ years of strong professional experience, including substantial exposure to commercial legal matters and evidence of management or commercial responsibility.

• A recognised university qualification in law, normally at Master’s level or equivalent.
  
• Strong commercial and corporate legal knowledge and excellent drafting and negotiation skills.
  
• Experience advising senior management and handling matters independently.
  
• Excellent professional English and Lithuanian capability appropriate to working locally.
  
• Experience combining legal work with management, operations or commercial responsibility is particularly attractive.
  
• Admission as an advocate is advantageous but not essential where commercial and management experience is compelling.
  

Candidates may currently be working as Senior Legal Counsel, Head of Legal, General Counsel, a commercial director with legal training, a senior corporate/commercial lawyer, General Manager or Deputy General Manager, or a senior professional-services manager.

We are looking for someone with complete ownership, highly ambitious, positive, commercially minded, discreet and resilient.

You should be motivated by excellence, achievement, responsibility and remuneration; comfortable making decisions; willing to challenge constructively; and capable of taking ownership without continuous supervision.

We value results, judgement and ownership rather than presenteeism. This is a full-time senior executive role and reasonable flexibility is expected when genuinely important client, legal, personnel or commercial matters arise outside normal office hours, without creating a permanent on-call culture.

Starting salary: €5,000-€6,000 gross per month, depending on experience and demonstrated capability.

Following an agreed trial period, the successful candidate may be eligible for a meaningful performance-related bonus linked to company profitability and individual commercial contribution. For an exceptional performer, the intention is that total remuneration, responsibility and influence will increase significantly over time. In additon, equity could be an option.

This is an opportunity to work directly with the Owner and CEO of an entrepreneurial international company, make a genuinely positive impact on the lives of our clients, to polish skills and interact with high-net-worth international clients, participate in strategic and commercial decisions, and help shape BCP’s vision to provide a true win/win through our Gateway to Europe.

We are looking for someone who does not simply want a job. We are looking for someone who wants to make a real difference, and to be rewarded for it.
