Sr Director, Legal & Compliance Technology

About the role

Lennar is investing in the technology behind its Legal and Compliance functions. The portfolio spans matter management and legal spend, document management and drafting, entity and corporate governance, risk and insurance, compliance and ethics, and e-discovery. The Sr. Director owns this portfolio and the roadmap that shapes it: running the platforms Legal depends on daily, leading evaluations that determine what comes next, and carrying delivery once a direction is set.

This role is a deliberate pairing with Legal Operations, who owns business process and adoption; the two are accountable for the same outcomes and neither succeeds alone. Platform and investment decisions are made jointly with Functional and Technical leadership, so building the case and driving it to closure matters as much as the technical judgment behind it.

Responsibilities

• Strategy and roadmap
  • Own the capability roadmap and gap assessment, translating legal and compliance priorities into a sequenced, fundable plan
  • Lead build, buy, and consolidate recommendations, and develop the investment cases for executive approval
  • Drive alignment across Functional and Technical leadership; bring options and a recommendation, not open questions

  • Lead vendor evaluation and selection with Sourcing and Legal; own licensing posture, renewal strategy, and performance against contract
• Contract lifecycle management

  • Define the target-state contract architecture with Enterprise Architecture, including boundaries with the enterprise e-signature and procurement intake platforms, and the ERP
• Data, AI, and integration
  • Shape the AI agenda for legal and compliance work: evaluate and enable the AI already embedded in the portfolio, and set requirements where more is needed
  • Define the legal data, reporting, and integration requirements, and own acceptance of what gets delivered
• Partnership and leadership
  • Serve as the primary technology partner to Legal leadership
  • Hold scope, quality, and schedule across implementation partners; escalate risk early and with a recommended path
  • Lead a product team; partner with security, engineering, architecture, and data & analytic teams for delivery

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or higher, or equivalent practical experience
