1 month ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom TRSS Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Legal Manager to join our team at TRSS. As a key member of our organization, you will play a critical role in providing dedicated project leadership to pilot the operationalization and implementation of a legal offering to support journalists and independent newsrooms.

As a Legal Manager, you will be responsible for mapping evolving trends and legal threats for journalists, media freedom NGOs, and independent media outlets. You will build excellent relationships with key stakeholders, both internal and external, including expanding our network of expert NGOs and legal teams working in the media, journalism, and media freedom space.

You will refine the operating model for the media-legal offering based on feedback received, including intake process, eligibility requirements, project flow, and impact monitoring mechanisms. You will work closely with our Media Freedom and Programmes team to ensure alignment and integration of the media-legal offering within the Foundation's existing media freedom work, and to identify other innovative programming, products, and approaches that best leverage the Foundation's assets.

You will scope and support the management of pro bono or low bono legal requests and cross-border research projects that address critical needs of journalists, media freedom NGOs, and independent media outlets. You will scope and oversee the development of tools, resources, trainings, and other content on key legal issues of relevance to journalists and independent media outlets to address threats to their safety and independence and build resilience.

You will deliver and/or coordinate delivery of trainings, legal health checks, and events for media freedom NGOs, journalists, and/or media houses, often in partnership with the programming teams. You will support the development and implementation of a communications, engagement, and outreach plan, as needed, in collaboration with the Foundation's Communications, Social, and Media Freedom teams.

You will support bid development and partnership-building to ensure financial sustainability of the offering. You will carry out a variety of administrative, reporting, planning, monitoring, and logistical responsibilities linked to the project.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • An LLB, with preference for a qualified lawyer or an advanced law degree.
  • At least five years' experience working in the legal field, with prior experience in media law or related human rights matters, either in a law firm, media house, or non-profit organization.
  • Strong understanding of international standards on press freedom and/or the media law/policy landscape. Understanding of the legal needs of journalists and media outlets in the global south or Central/Eastern Europe/FSU an advantage.
  • Excellent project management and organizational skills, including the ability to manage effectively multiple matters and projects in a fast-paced environment, with a high degree of creative and flexible thinking, and the ability to incorporate lessons learnt through pilot delivery.
  • Prior experience working on donor-funded projects is a plus.
  • Excellent research, drafting, and analytical skills, with experience in training an advantage.
