Managing Director, Legal Services

Overview

Join Goodwin’s Global Operations Team, and make a real impact on a global scale. At Goodwin, we work with some of the world’s most successful and innovative investors, entrepreneurs and disruptors in the life sciences, private equity, real estate, technology and financial industries, and where they converge. As part of the Global Operations Team – all business professionals at the firm – you’ll collaborate with colleagues from varied backgrounds and experiences, fostering an environment where cross-functional learning, networking, and collaboration are at the core of what we do. Here, we’re not just supporting a law firm; we’re partnering with attorneys and clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions in high-stakes litigation and dispute resolution, world-class regulatory compliance and advisory services, and complex transactions. Our commitment to integrity, ingenuity, agility, and ambition drives us, and we’re proud to have been recognised as the “Best Business Team” by The American Lawyer. This is your opportunity to grow professionally in a dynamic, global environment, surrounded by forward-thinking peers.

We are creating a new kind of leadership role with an opportunity to shape the way we deliver legal services. The Managing Director of Legal Services will oversee and unify all of our non-attorney timekeeper functions including paralegals, pro bono professionals, financial analysts, IP operations, and other emerging roles / teams. This leader will ensure these functions work together seamlessly to deliver maximum client value, drive firm profitability, and free up our attorneys to focus on the highest-value, most strategic work.

At a time when the classic pyramid model of legal staffing is disappearing and new expectations for efficiency, innovation, and business alignment are reshaping the legal industry, this role becomes absolutely critical. We are looking for a visionary builder and change leader who can help us design the firm of the future.
