About the Role

The Director of Legal will play a pivotal role in setting the legal strategy for Transport for London (TfL) and the wider Greater London Authority (GLA) group, overseeing a directorate of approximately 100 legal professionals and managing an associated budget of around £5 million.

The successful candidate will provide expert legal counsel on a wide range of issues, including complex commercial contracts and infrastructure projects, property and planning matters, employment law, public and regulatory law, and commercial disputes.

The Director of Legal will be responsible for ensuring that the Legal Directorate maintains the appropriate levels of expertise and resources across all specialisms, managing legal risks, providing strategic guidance on significant transactions and complex issues and disputes that could have significant reputational and financial impact.

The role will involve regular interaction with the most senior levels of the organisations we advise, including the Commissioner, Executive Committee, and Directors of TfL, senior officers across the GLA Group, and key stakeholders across Government departments and external partners.

About You

You will be a professionally qualified solicitor or barrister in the UK (or equivalent jurisdiction) operating at a senior level, with extensive post-qualification experience within a complex public sector or regulated environment.

Your background will demonstrate a deep expertise across multiple areas of law, with a proven track record of successfully managing significant legal matters of high value and complexity.

As a strategic leader, you will possess exceptional communication and influencing skills, with experience of engaging credibly and effectively at the highest levels of your organisation (up to and including Board level) and of navigating politically sensitive issues.

You will have experience leading large and diverse teams of legal professionals, fostering a culture of collaboration, development, and excellence, and will be driven by best practice and ensuring your team remains at the forefront of legal expertise through ongoing professional development and training programmes.

You will have extensive experience of overseeing relationships with external legal providers, ensuring that your organisation's legal services are delivered in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

What We Offer

We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion and want to represent the city we serve, which will help us become a more innovative and efficient organisation.

We offer a hybrid working arrangement, enabling a balance of 50 per cent of time split between the office and home over a 4-week period.
