About the Role
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Legal Executive/General Counsel Coach based in the United Kingdom.
This is a part-time coaching opportunity for highly experienced legal leaders who have led European legal teams within or alongside U.S.-headquartered technology companies.
You will use your senior legal leadership experience to help professionals become stronger leaders, communicate more effectively, navigate workplace challenges, and achieve meaningful career goals.
The role combines executive-level legal expertise with structured one-to-one coaching, supported by dedicated training, proprietary tools, and a collaborative coaching community.
You will work virtually with members while providing thoughtful support between sessions through digital communication.
All selected coaches participate in an ICF-certified coaching program, enabling experienced leaders to develop a structured and impactful coaching practice regardless of prior certification.
The flexible, remote format is designed to complement other professional commitments while encouraging long-term relationships with members.
This role is ideal for senior legal executives who are passionate about developing people, continuous learning, and helping professionals build fulfilling and successful careers.
Accountabilities
- Provide high-quality one-to-one coaching to members through virtual sessions using dedicated coaching platforms and tools.
- Help members establish clear professional goals, identify actionable steps, track progress, and maintain accountability.
- Draw on your senior legal leadership experience to help members strengthen leadership capabilities, communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and workplace effectiveness.
- Support members as they navigate complex professional situations, leadership challenges, career decisions, and organizational dynamics.
- Create a safe, respectful, empathetic, and confidential environment where members can openly explore challenges and take meaningful steps toward growth.
- Communicate with members between coaching sessions through dedicated email and in-app messaging to maintain continuity and momentum.
- Participate in required and ongoing coach training to strengthen coaching capabilities and apply the established coaching methodology consistently.
- Engage actively with the coaching community by sharing relevant coaching tools, legal leadership insights, experiences, and best practices.
- Contribute to a collaborative coaching culture centered on learning, growth, empathy, inclusion, and continuous improvement.
- Act as an ambassador for the coaching community by demonstrating professionalism, kindness, respect, sound judgment, and emotional intelligence.
- Maintain a consistent coaching commitment of at least 12+ hours per month for a minimum of 24 months to support meaningful long-term member relationships.
- Successfully complete the required ICF-certified coach training program before beginning coaching engagements and apply the methodology throughout your coaching practice.
