EDI Lead (Membership)

Anderson Quigley is happy to be working with The Law Society as they look to appoint to the role of EDI Lead (Membership).

The Role:

This is a unique opportunity to lead the delivery of Law Society’s equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) strategy for the solicitors’ profession and make a real impact. Situated in the Membership and External Affairs Directorate, the EDI and Wellbeing (Membership) team works to ensure people from all backgrounds can join and thrive in the solicitors’ profession. Experienced in motivating and developing teams, you will manage a growing team of dedicated EDI managers, developing practical resources that help our members embed EDI in their organisations.

You’ll bring your expertise to design and deliver impactful programmes, measure outcomes, and ensure our outputs are evidence-based, member-informed and deliver lasting change for solicitors.

You will build strong relationships with members and external stakeholders including senior stakeholders in law firms and in-house legal teams.

If you’re ready to lead, influence, and create meaningful progress towards a more diverse and inclusive solicitors’ profession, we’d love to hear from you.

What We Are Looking For: 

• You will have expert knowledge and understanding of EDI issues, best practice and what works to drive positive change, as well as legal and regulatory considerations.
• You will have strong people management skills, with experience of leading and coaching high performing teams.
• You will have experience of influencing and supporting external organisations to adopt inclusive practices.
• You will have excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build relationships across diverse audiences and influence at senior levels.
• You will have excellent communication and problem-solving skills with the ability to deal with complex issues.
• You will have excellent project management and organisational skills with a track record of designing, implementing and evaluating large-scale EDI initiatives and programmes that deliver measurable outcomes.

What’s In It For You:

This is an excellent opportunity to work with contemporary thinkers in a progressive membership organisation. The successful candidate will join a strong brand with a reputation for excellence and legal expertise, committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion, and a culture of trust, clarity, excellence and respect.

They offer hybrid working (with a baseline of two days a week working at our office in Chancery Lane, London and a mandatory in-person team day once a month) and a generous flexible benefits package.

The Law Society would welcome applications from people seeking flexible or alternative working patterns and will consider these on a case-by-case basis at appointment.
