    Default job background
    Description

    Job Title:
    Director of Legal Operations
    Cambridge, Hybrid

    Contract:
    Full time, permanent, 35 hours per week

    We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.

    We are looking for a Director of Legal Operations, a new and pivotal role within Legal & Business Affairs, entrusted with co-creating and executing the department's strategic vision to serve Cambridge more effectively.

    Our enthusiasm for operational excellence helps us continually improve the way we support Cambridge, and you will guide us in achieving this.

    We are a large yet close-knit team that supports each other, enjoys solving problems, and loves changing the way our colleagues think about Legal, Business Ethics and Compliance.

    Our mission is to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning, and research at the highest international levels of excellence.

    From teachers and learners to researchers and academics, we help to build confidence, unlock potential, and enable success.

    We are a united, vibrant, and respectful global community of people, and we ensure that every individual is recognised, listened to, and cared for.

    Whether you want a career that is linear, or want to follow your own path, we'll support you, and help give you the resources and training you will need to be bold and take ownership of what you do.

    We are particularly focused on inclusion and improving diversity at all levels in the organisation, including for this role.

    We know that diversity of thinking, backgrounds and approaches leads to innovation and creates an atmosphere where everyone's contribution is valued.

    The role is a key part of the senior team in Legal & Business Affairs, and you would get to lead on complex and exciting projects supported by great colleagues.

    It operates within a dynamic context, both due to the changing nature of our business, particularly the shift from print to digital, and from products to services, and also the international reach of our work as part of a global organisation with offices in over 50 countries.

    We promote work-life balance through flexible work schedules, hybrid work arrangements, and generous paid leave.

    In addition, you will be entitled to our health care benefits with coverage for dependents, group life insurance, and robust wellbeing programmes right from the first day of joining us.

    We're a founding catalyst member of General Counsel Sustainability Forum, and a member of LawWorks (a UK charity working to connect volunteer lawyers with people in need of legal advice, who are not eligible for legal funding), as well as supporting social mobility initiatives promoting wider access to our professions.

    We have our own Wellbeing and Green groups within the department and are key contributors to the organisation's sustainability strategy.

    In this role, you will report to the General Counsel, and be responsible for the implementation of Legal & Business Affairs' strategic plans.

    You will work with the team and colleagues across the organisation to align priorities and build seamless interaction between us and other business teams to support growth, and deliver innovation, excellence and efficiencies.

    You will lead a dynamic team, providing strategic planning, financial management, project management, technology expertise and talent management support.

    You will be instrumental in managing a budget of £6m, in addition to overseeing external legal spend and providing a single authoritative and up-to-date source of reporting and insight.

    This enables us to focus on delivering high-quality legal and compliance advice, support, and guidance at the right time to the right stakeholders.

    You're curious to learn (we are an education and research publishing organisation after all), and a perfect mix of self-starter and team player.

    You have a strong network of like-minded legal/tech/operations professionals.

    Along with sound legal operations skills, you communicate effectively, at a time and in a way that enables business colleagues to achieve their objectives.

    Whatever you are working on, you are able to deliver your own initiatives and projects in a way that inspires confidence, as well as working collaboratively with others in the team and the wider organisation.

    Your success will be underpinned by your ability to prioritise, with a practical and pragmatic approach, when handling a wide variety of day-to-day projects and activities.

    Given the breadth of the legal operations remit, you demonstrate a good understanding of your strengths and areas of expertise, and are thoughtful about how to fill any gaps, working with others in your team, the organisation or external providers.

    We like getting together in the office, and we also support hybrid working.

    The split of time between home and office will be a decision based on your and the team's needs, rather than rigid requirements, though we're generally aiming for an average of at least 2 days a week in the office.

    In addition to competitive salaries, we offer a world-class, flexible rewards package, featuring family-friendly and planet-friendly benefits including:

    ~28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
    ~ Private medical and Permanent Health Insurance
    ~ Discretionary annual bonus
    ~ Group personal pension scheme
    ~ Life assurance up to 4 x annual salary
    ~ Green travel schemes

    We are a hybrid working organisation, and we offer a range of flexible working options from day one. We expect most hybrid-working colleagues to spend 40-60% of their time at their dedicated office or location.

    We will also consider other work arrangements if you wish to work more flexibly or require adjustments due to a disability.

    You'll belong to a collaborative team that's exploring new and better ways to serve students, teachers and researchers across the globe – for the benefit of individuals, society and the world.

    Sharing our mission will inspire your own growth, development and progress, in an environment which embraces difference, change and aspiration.

    Cambridge University Press & Assessment is committed to being a place where anyone can enjoy a successful career, where it's safe to speak up, and where we learn continuously to improve together.

    We welcome applications from all candidates, regardless of demographic characteristics (age, disability, educational attainment, ethnicity, gender, marital status, neurodiversity, religion, sex, gender identity and sexual identity), cultural, or social class/background.
