Department Overview
UC Legal - Office of the General Counsel (UCL) provides legal services to the university, including representation, advice, research and training. We also provide legal opinions to the Board of Regents, administration, faculty, staff and others acting on the university's behalf. We report jointly to the Board of Regents and the president.

Position Summary
The Managing Counsel of Strategic Legal Initiatives (MC-SLI) will report to the Deputy General Counsel, Legal Policy and Operations, and will be a member of the Immediate Office of the General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Legal Affairs (GC/SVP). The MC-SLI will work directly with, and indirectly manage UC Legal staff and outside counsel to provide legal advice to the GC/SVP and the UCL Leadership team. The advice will be in the form of recommendations based on evergreen assessments of our matters (active and closed) to look for trends, best practices, new templates, trainings, staffing and organizational changes intended to reduce legal risk and expense, and to improve client service and internal efficiencies.

The MC-SLI will have three areas of responsibility:

• The MC-SLI will design and launch a systemwide UC Legal program to identify opportunities, develop and analyze options, and implement strategies to reduce legal risk, improve workload/workflow management, and provide cost-efficient legal services. This role focuses on execution, not just advisory work, and will drive implementation of initiatives from the idea stage to the development of a project plan, execution, and success measurement. Examples of strategic initiatives could include establishing a UC Legal affirmative litigation program, identifying new legal strategies or services to facilitate client priorities or reduce University risk, and opportunities to improve the provision of legal services through delegations or outsourcing.
• Strategic Planning. The MC-SLI will oversee the ongoing implementation and annual refresh of UC Legal's Strategic Plan, including driving the completion of cornerstone projects focusing on four main areas - advancing client priorities, optimizing the delivery of legal services, energizing the legal team, and enhancing business processes.
• Impact Evaluation and Measurement. In collaboration with the General Counsel and Deputy General Counsels, the MC-SLI will lead the process of identifying key performance indicators (KPIs) and the implementation of a system to collect, analyze, and report on these KPIs with the goals of continuous improvement in the quality of legal services and maximum cost savings to our clients. This position requires the ability to synthesize data from our portfolio of legal matters, feedback from our legal team and clients, and knowledge of our practice areas, systems, policies and processes. This role requires a high level of autonomy and self-motivation, strategic thinking and strong analytical skills. The successful candidate must navigate across all levels of the UC organization and have a proven record of consensus building around complex solutions; the ability to deeply listen and collaborate with a diverse group of colleagues and achieve results without direct supervisory authority over teammates. This role also requires an aptitude for identifying meaningful metrics that drive business results for the UC system by developing systems to collect and maintain data and developing regular reporting and analysis to measure key results, including the ability to concisely and persuasively communicate key data to various audiences.

Key Responsibilities
