Head of Legal (hybrid working) in London

Company Secretarial & Legal Operations Manager - PropTech London · Hybrid, minimum 3 days in the office Our client is a venture-backed property management group bringing established businesses onto a single platform. Legal enquiry and company secretarial work currently gets done well in pockets rather than as a system across the group. Pet, sublet and alteration consents, deeds of variation and other deeds, issued correctly against the lease. Confirmation statements filed on time, accounts minuted and filed at Companies House, directors chased through verification to completion, and anything at risk of running late escalated before it becomes a problem. When a director will not or cannot verify, you review the articles and memorandum, work out the board’s real options, and help the property manager advise them. From there you work with an in-house product team to turn the whole area into a more automated system - defining what gets tracked, pressure-testing it against how the work actually happens, then leading the rollout across every company. You come from a residential managing agent, freeholder, ground rent administrator or block management business , most likely from a leasehold sales, sales progression, company secretarial, RMC/RTM services, legal services or compliance team. You are systems-minded - comfortable with software, keen to work alongside a product team, and energised rather than threatened by the idea of turning your own job into a system. A legal qualification is a plus, not a requirement - practical experience is what matters. This is the rare one in property management: you own LPE1s, sales packs, consents, deeds and Companies House compliance across a growing group.
