📋 Description

• Lead day-to-day delivery for your allocated client group, ensuring high-quality legal services, strong client experience, deadline compliance, and consistent execution. • Draft, review, negotiate, and oversee complex NDAs and ancillary transaction documents across private equity, M&A, and financing transactions. • Act as the senior point of escalation for difficult legal, commercial, client, counterparty, or workflow issues, identifying, challenging, and formulating high-quality solutions. • Oversee and review the work product of junior, specialist, and senior team members, ensuring quality, consistency, legal substance, and readiness for client distribution. • Lead, sign off, review, and refine client playbooks, templates, and precedents, ensuring consistency with internal guidelines, format, and structure. • Serve as the day-to-day account lead and ultimate “responsible person” for allocated clients, owning the overall health of each account. • Be available and on call to clients, hosting regular check-ins, negotiation calls, and quarterly business reviews (QBRs) to assess platform usage, service performance, and account direction. • Track customer health across allocated accounts, proactively identifying risks to satisfaction, retention, or renewal and acting early to address them. • Take ownership of client complaints and issues end-to-end, drafting competent responses and driving them through to resolution. • Support customer outreach and account growth, identifying opportunities to expand or deepen relationships — including onboarding additional document types, new workflows, or changes to scope — in partnership with the Account Manager. • Provide coaching, feedback, mentoring, and training to team members, identifying development needs and designing and delivering targeted training. • Monitor capacity, workload distribution, SLA performance, and service quality across your allocated group, escalating resourcing or performance issues as appropriate. • Contribute to hiring, interviewing, onboarding, performance calibration, and progression discussions. • Identify opportunities to improve service delivery, legal technology adoption, workflow design, and managed services scalability. • Contribute to the continuous improvement of internal processes and delivery of workflows.
