Head of Legal Hub & Innovation - Volunteer

Help build PWN London’s Legal Hub from the ground up

Lead an exciting initiative combining legal expertise, member support and AI innovation to create a trusted legal guidance service for professional women and allies across London.

PWN London is a volunteer-led professional network committed to advancing balanced leadership through networking, leadership development, mentoring, professional growth, and community building.

As we continue to grow, one of our strategic priorities is to strengthen the value we provide to our members and create meaningful benefits that support them throughout their professional journeys.

This role will help us establish and develop our Legal Hub, an initiative designed to provide legal education, guidance, resources, and access to expertise for our community. The Legal Hub has been part of PWN London’s long‑term vision for several years, but we now need the right volunteer leader to help bring it to life.

The successful volunteer will help us create a sustainable framework for legal support, educational content, partnerships, and future innovation. Their expertise will help ensure that our initiatives are legally sound, appropriately governed, and aligned with best practices.

The role will also support the organisation more broadly by providing occasional guidance on governance, data protection, compliance, policies, and risk management matters. As a growing Community Interest Company (CIC), having access to legal expertise is invaluable in helping us operate professionally and responsibly.

Beyond the immediate organisational benefits, this role will contribute directly to our membership growth and retention objectives. By developing a high‑value Legal Hub, we aim to strengthen our Premium Membership offering, create new opportunities for member engagement, and establish partnerships with law firms and legal professionals who share our mission.

In the longer term, we hope to explore innovative approaches to member support, including the responsible use of technology and AI‑powered legal information tools. The volunteer will play an important role in helping us shape that vision and ensure it is implemented in a responsible and sustainable way.

Ultimately, this role offers an opportunity to create a lasting legacy by building a service that will benefit hundreds of professional women, allies, volunteers, and future members across London and beyond.

We are looking for a volunteer who is passionate about supporting professional women, promoting balanced leadership, and helping build impactful initiatives that create real value for our community.

The ideal candidate will have legal expertise combined with a strategic and collaborative mindset. They should be comfortable working in a volunteer‑led environment, contributing ideas, and helping shape a new initiative from concept to implementation.
