Legal | Manager

Manager Legal Advisor optimizing Risk with Modern Legal Solutions and safeguarding Searce's innovation through proactive dispute resolution and decisive litigation.

What are we looking for

real solver?

Solver? Absolutely. But not the usual kind. We're searching for the architects of the audacious & the pioneers of the possible. If you're the type to dismantle assumptions, re-engineer ‘best practices,’ and build solutions that make the future possible NOW, then you're speaking our language.

  • Improver. Solver. Futurist.
  • Great sense of humor.
  • ‘Possible. It is.’ Mindset.
  • Compassionate collaborator. Bold experimenter. Tireless iterator.
  • Natural creativity that doesn’t just challenge the norm, but solves to design what’s better.
  • Thinks in systems. Solves at scale.

This Isn’t for Everyone. But if you’re the kind who questions why things are done a certain way—and then identifies 3 better ways to do it — we’d love to chat with you.

Your Mission : The Role

solving for better.

You're the proactive legal backbone of our business, ensuring innovation thrives within a secure and compliant framework. This role isn't about passively reviewing documents; it's about actively shaping our future by identifying and neutralizing legal risks before they become roadblocks. Your mission is to seamlessly integrate legal foresight into every business decision.

As a Directly Responsible Individual (DRI), you'll balance crucial business objectives with astute legal risk mitigation. You'll achieve this by leveraging your keen observation, analytical skills, and clear communication to solve differently, challenging the status quo in traditional legal approaches. You'll lead from initial legal due diligence to enabling our teams with modern technology and streamlined processes.

This isn't your typical legal role. You'll be in the trenches with our teams, understanding their nuances and empowering them to move faster and more securely. You'll remain 100% accountable for the clarity of your legal interpretations, the robustness of protections, and the tangible reduction of legal risk.

If you’re a business-savvy legal professional with the sharp mind of a strategist, the unwavering integrity of a guardian, and the collaborative spirit of an enabler—we've got a critical seat for you at the table. You're our proactive risk intelligence engine.

You're not just a legal advisor. You're our proactive risk intelligence engine.

Your Responsibilities

what you will wake up to solve.

You're the proactive legal backbone of our business, ensuring innovation thrives within a secure and compliant framework. This role isn't about passively reviewing documents; it's about actively shaping our future by identifying and neutralizing legal risks before they become roadblocks. Your mission is to seamlessly integrate legal protection into our operational DNA, working hand-in-hand with diverse teams. You'll leverage your expertise to illuminate legal pathways and empower informed decision-making.

Here’s how you'll make your mark :

  • Strategic Risk Management & Advisory : Proactively identify, analyze, and strategically mitigate inherent legal risks (data privacy, IP, contracts, regulatory compliance) in business operations, new product development, and tech initiatives.
  • Interpret & Apply Complex Laws : Provide clear, actionable interpretations of intricate laws and contractual terms, ensuring company-wide adherence and advising on their practical business implications.
  • Validate & Optimize Legal Documents : Lead the review, drafting, and negotiation of diverse legal documents, ensuring they're robust, protect company interests, and align with business objectives.
  • Business Enablement & Collaboration : Act as a key liaison, translating legal complexities into understandable business impacts.

  • Modernization & Continuous Improvement : Champion and implement modern legal technologies (e.g., CLM, AI-driven research, e-discovery) to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. You'll continuously identify inefficiencies, designing smarter, streamlined solutions for faster, legally sound operations.
  • Accountability & Impact : Own legal outcomes as the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for the integrity of legal advice and the effectiveness of risk mitigation. You'll track and communicate the impact of legal interventions, showing how proactive strategies contribute to business continuity, growth, and reputation.
