Sr Director, Client Partner Counsel - Personal Lines Auto

About the role

The opportunity Liberty Mutual is looking for a managing attorney to lead legal support for one of our largest and fastest-moving businesses. You'll lead a small, technically specialized team of lawyers and legal professionals supporting the personal auto operation within US Retail Markets — a $26+ billion business unit — and serve as the senior legal partner to the Personal Auto President and their leadership team. Reporting to the Deputy General Counsel, you'll set legal strategy and direct resourcing against the business's strategic priorities. It's a role for a lawyer who wants both: substantive work on complex and emerging regulatory questions, and a genuine seat at the table where the business makes its decisions.

Responsibilities

• Advise the Personal Auto business. You'll be the point person for legal matters across the product operation — insurance product design, pricing, underwriting, forms, telematics, and state management operations. Much of this work involves novel questions in a fast-evolving regulatory landscape, and you'll be expected to bring original thinking rather than precedent alone.
• Represent the company in complex matters. You'll advise on substantial legal and business transactions requiring insurance product and regulatory expertise, including matters involving adverse parties and partners. You'll conduct deep research in your areas of specialization and direct and refine the work of others.
• Lead and grow the team. You'll manage goals, capacity, performance, and development for your direct reports, building the team's depth in a highly specialized practice and coordinating closely with other Legal managers.
• Improve how the team works. You'll strengthen knowledge sharing, documentation, and the team's use of tools and technology so legal support scales with the business.
• Lead with influence. You'll build relationships across a matrixed organization and lead in a way that makes people want to work with you; balance legal risk with commercial pragmatism, bring clarity to competing priorities, and remove roadblocks so your business partners can decide with confidence. You'll develop the people around you while staying curious — thinking broadly and seeking outside perspectives rather than defaulting to how things have been done.
