Desired Skills and Experience Independent network of media and advertising agencies is looking to hire its first ever Head of Legal Ops as they continue to build and grow their network

This is a newly-created network-level position that will oversee all operational legal needs across the business, created due to the ever-changing nature of legal needs in a creative/media environment.

The role is heavily operational, requiring someone who can run a high-volume legal function while simultaneously building the strategy and infrastructure at scale

This is less of a ‘compliance’ role, and much more of a ‘legal strategy’ position at a growing creative media/advertising network
