Description

Role Overview:

Amplifon , the world's largest distributor of hearing aid technology, is searching for an
Associate General Counsel who is ready to take on the cornerstone challenges facing our industry.

Amplifon Americas' accelerated growth requires diverse, authentic, creative, and dynamic talent.

If your passion is leading, planning, and implementing legal initiatives that enhance Amplifon and its business, this is the perfect opportunity to amplify your career.

In this role, you will navigate internal and external relationships on a variety of topics, with a heavy focus on Canadian mergers & acquisitions, general corporate governance and commercial contracting.

Most importantly, you'll support our Canadian team in delivering our mission of bringing sound to life for millions of customers.

Success Criteria:

Our teams rely on sound, experienced, and balanced legal support.

Your work as a trusted legal advisor will ensure business leaders are educated on the risks and ramifications of their decisions.

Part of legal leadership among teams is navigating and being comfortable taking risks. Not crazy risks, but informed, appropriate risks measured by compiling, analyzing, and reviewing quantitative & qualitative information.

An excellent understanding of Canada-based mergers and acquisitions is vital to this role.

We are seeking someone who can navigate a transaction from inception to close:

planning for and managing due diligence, drafting transaction documents, strategizing for and leading negotiations, getting alignment from all internal stakeholders, providing regular reports on deal status, handling closings, and attending to post-closing matters.

To the extent appropriate, you would also handle integration planning, implementation and execution.

To be successful in this role, you will need excellent organizational and communication skills, as well as the ability to work on multiple transactions in a fast-paced environment.

When you can't recall, or are not familiar with, the information you need, legal research should be another area you easily navigate.

**Qualifications: - Canadian Juris Doctorate degree

Current license to practice law in at least one Canadian province (ideally Ontario)
610 years' experience in law firm or corporate setting
Proven experience in mergers and acquisitions of all types, sizes and complexities
Ability to prioritize responsibilities and successfully manage multiple transactions at a consistently superior level
Wellversed in corporate governance and commercial contracting
Superior negotiation and communication skills
Ability to communicate complex legal issues to business units in an understandable, practical way
Ability to be flexible and change quickly based on shifting business priorities
Comfort working in a fastpaced environment
Excellent analytical ability and attention to detail
Strong interpersonal skills, including selfconfidence, clear communication (including giving and receiving feedback constructively), conflict management, problem solving, decision making and assertiveness
Intangible skills, including sound judgment, intuition, integrity, curiosity, agility, creativity, humility and an ability to thrive in challenging and ambiguous situations
Proven ability to serve as a strong business partner and history of building trust with others
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint

Preferred Experience:

Experience working in a global organization
Medical device, pharma or healthcare background

While this is a highlight of what you'll do, what you'll gain is pretty great too:

Competitive compensation & benefits
Career path planning & mentorship
Awardwinning work/life balance
International business exposure
An amazing team of colleagues and leaders
