Director of International Finance

Opportunities to take on the most senior international finance position at one of the world's leading law firms are few and far between.

Lex Talent has been exclusively retained to recruit a Director of Finance for a top 10 global law firm.

If you're an experienced finance leader within the legal sector, this is an opportunity worth considering.

Based in London, you'll take responsibility for the finance operations of the firm's largest international office, home to approximately 500 employees, while also overseeing finance teams across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

You'll work closely with senior partners and London leadership, as well as the firm's global finance leadership in the US. You'll have significant autonomy, responsibility and visibility across the firm's international operations.

The remit is broad and goes well beyond financial reporting. You'll oversee client accounting, billing, WIP, collections, budgeting, financial reporting, treasury, tax and regulatory compliance, alongside the continued development and improvement of the finance function.

Just as importantly, you'll lead and develop international finance teams, advise senior partners, influence commercial decision-making and play an important role in how the firm's international finance operations evolve.

You don't need to be doing this exact job today.

You may currently be a Finance Director, Head of Finance, Financial Controller or another senior finance professional within a law firm who is ready to take on a broader remit.

What matters is your understanding of law firm finance, your ability to lead people and your confidence working with senior stakeholders in a demanding, high-performing environment.

For the right person, this represents a significant international leadership opportunity within one of the world's most respected law firms.

The search is being handled exclusively by Mark Neal at Lex Talent, and all conversations will be treated in complete confidence.
