 Corporate Compliance Counsel | Global Antitrust &amp; Regulatory Work at Unmatched Scale &ndash; Relocation to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
 
 
 
 
 
 
 If you&rsquo;re a competition or regulatory lawyer considering a move in-house, this is an opportunity to step into a role where your advice directly influences major international transactions and strategic decisions. You&rsquo;ll be working at the centre of a global organisation, advising on complex EU and UK regulatory matters across a diverse and expanding international portfolio.
 
 
 
 
 
 This is also a fully supported international move, offering the chance to relocate with long-term accommodation and a comprehensive benefits package covered, allowing you to focus on the work and the opportunity rather than the logistics.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The Firm
 
 
 
 This opportunity sits within the in-house legal function of a globally significant energy company, headquartered in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The organisation operates across the full energy value chain, from upstream exploration and production through to downstream refining, chemicals, and retail. It is consistently ranked among the largest companies globally by market capitalisation and continues to invest heavily across international markets.
 
 
 With a rapidly expanding global footprint spanning subsidiaries, joint ventures, and affiliates, the business is undertaking one of the largest capital investment programmes in its sector.
 
 
 
 
 
 Alongside this, it is investing significantly in AI, sustainability, and carbon capture technologies, increasing both the scale and complexity of its regulatory exposure.
 
 
 The compliance legal team sits at the centre of this growth, advising across competition, trade, and regulatory matters on a truly global basis. The team is lean, high-calibre, and works closely with senior management and business leaders across the organisation.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The Role
 
 
 
 You will take a leading role advising on EU and UK competition and antitrust matters, particularly in the context of investments, divestments, and M&amp;A activity.
 
 
 
 
 
 Your work will involve supporting complex transactions, conducting regulatory due diligence, and advising on competition risk across international deals. You will also engage directly with regulators, providing strategic input on compliance frameworks and governance across a broad range of jurisdictions.
 
 
 
 
 
 Alongside transactional work, you will support compliance with ESG, sustainability, and climate-related regulations, as well as broader governance and human rights considerations where relevant.
 
 
 
 
 
 This is a highly visible role, working closely with senior stakeholders across business lines, subsidiaries, and joint ventures. You will be expected to provide clear, commercially focused advice and play a key role in shaping how the organisation approaches regulatory risk globally.
