The Opportunity

Flock’s scope, size, and maturity require seasoned leadership capable of helping the business to scale into the next phase of our growth. We require an experienced legal leader capable of taking the commercial, transactional, and governance functions of the legal department to the next level, by upskilling and developing internal talent, hiring strategically, efficiently managing outside counsel and other resources, and directing the implementation of upgraded processes and tooling to serve our internal stakeholders and Flock’s external clients and partners in a collaborative, business-enabling way.

The Skillset

• Ten-plus years of in-house legal experience, working in fast-paced, highly-collaborative, innovative environments that demand business-orientation, flexibility, creativity, and determination.

• Experience managing the legal aspects of M&A transactions; passion for finding and implementing creative structures to achieve business objectives.

• A strong record of partnership with internal stakeholders, with a reputation for business enablement and collaboration.

• Familiarity with both private and public governance structures and norms; experience in transition(s) between the two frameworks preferred.

• Passion for and dedication to management and mentorship of more junior attorneys and legal professionals.

• A delightful, friendly, collaborative personality and approach, with a history of being told “you don’t seem like a lawyer!”
