At the Law Society, we have a rich history stretching back 200 years to 1825. Throughout that time as the independent professional body for solicitors in England and Wales, we have worked hard to promote the value of the profession, protect the justice system and support our members.
Today, our 400 staff and 400-strong volunteer community work to serve our 200,000 members. It is an exciting time for us – this year we’re celebrating our 200th anniversary and preparing our next ambitious strategy, which will take use from 2025 – 2028. There is much to be done – and this role will play a crucial part.
This is a newly created role, which will lead an ambitious change strategy and cultural shift around technology delivery and management that is aligned to our strategic goals. You’ll also ensure alignment between technology, data and how we deliver those changes.
There’s a real opportunity to drive a member-centric approach, enabling us to anticipate and respond to member needs, continually improving capabilities for our members and making this a great place to work.
Our teams work relentlessly on all kinds of projects, both large and seemingly small, but all crucial to our members and achieving our ambitions. The scale and complexity of our work behind the scenes can be surprising – for a small organisation we cover an unexpected breadth of activity.
It really is a privilege to work on so many fascinating issues, and to do so with so many passionate and motivated people across our staff and volunteer communities. Our greatest strength comes from the diversity of experience, expertise and skills of our people – all pulling together towards our collective goals.
I wish you luck with your application and look forward to working with the successful candidate to help achieve our ambitions in the future.
Ian Jeffery, Chief Executive
