About this Opportunity
We are seeking a versatile, enthusiastic, and proactive colleague for the Head of Debt Products Legal role in the Business & Commercial and Corporate & Institutional Business (BCB & CIB) Legal team. This opportunity suits a highly motivated individual who excels in managing relationships, leadership, and organization, working as part of the senior leadership team.
Serving as Head of Debt Products Legal entails managing a diverse team of roughly 25 lawyers across London, Edinburgh, and Bristol, working with the BCB and CIB business units alongside the Business Support Unit on commercial lending products, propositions, and strategy. This team addresses all aspects of product lifecycle, from product development through to insolvency and restructuring.
At BCB, this spans multiple projects ranging from significant digitisation work, product advancement, customer experience redesign, to legal and regulatory reform. In CIB, the team handles a variety of strategic concerns, such as international expansion (US and Europe), ESG proposals, and major transaction growth goals.
Working closely with the GC and leadership team, you’ll be involved in influencing and contributing to vision, values, and decision-making. The role requires an ability to coordinate a diverse portfolio of activity across multiple partners.
As DPL continues to evolve within the L&S Future Ready strategy, and both BCB and CIB adapt to changes in senior executive leadership, the Head of Legal will lead an agile, upbeat, and innovative team, driving the next stage of strategic change through data, technology, and simplification. They will also play a key role within the broader L&S extended leadership team, contributing to Future Ready’s delivery and demonstrating the Group’s values.
