Governance Team Leader

The Law Society is seeking an effective Governance Team Leader to oversee governance support for the member advisory committees that play a vital role in shaping the Society’s policy agenda, membership offer and delivery of its strategic goals.

Reporting to the Head of Governance, this newly created role sits at the centre of our governance and policy environment.

You will lead a team of governance officers, ensuring the smooth delivery of committee business, strengthening collaboration between committees and embedding consistent, high‑quality governance practices.

Please refer to the job description for full details.

You will bring experience managing governance teams in a policy‑focused environment, alongside strong project management expertise across organisational change, performance improvement and stakeholder engagement.

Your exceptional organisational skills will enable you to support both long‑term and day‑to‑day planning, managing multiple complex workstreams, frequent committee meetings and cross‑team coordination.

With a background in line management, you will demonstrate high levels of diplomacy and flexibility, as well as a proven ability to manage, develop and motivate people to deliver high‑quality outcomes.

This is an excellent opportunity to work in an organisation which has recently achieved gold accreditation from Investors in People in recognition of its work over the last few years focusing on being an employer of choice for people who want to make a difference.

You will join an organisation with a reputation for excellence, commitment to EDI, development and wellbeing, and a culture of clarity, trust, and respect.

We offer hybrid working (2 days per week in our London office), a generous flexible benefits package, a positive working environment and the opportunity to develop your career within a professional organisation.
