- Ensure ownership, timelines, and outcomes are clearly defined

- Proactively follow up with stakeholders to drive closure

3. Coordination & Orchestration

- Act as a central point to ensure cross-practice initiatives maintain momentum

- Bring the right stakeholders together at the right time

- Function as an 'execution anchor' to ensure priorities do not fall off the radar

4. Communication & Documentation

- Draft high-quality internal notes, summaries, and strategic documents

- Help articulate leadership thinking into clear written outputs

- Maintain institutional memory of key decisions and context

5. Data & Analysis

- Work with finance and internal teams to collate and analyse data

- Create crisp, decision-oriented analysis to support leadership discussions

- Translate complex or unstructured information into clear, consumable insights

- High business curiosity and sound judgment

- Comfort operating in ambiguity and evolving environments

- Ability to engage confidently with senior stakeholders

Who This Role Is Ideal For

- MBAs seeking close exposure to leadership decision-making and firm-building

- Ex-lawyers looking to transition into a business- and strategy-facing role

- Strategy, consulting, or founder's office professionals seeking proximity to execution
