Full Job Description
Location: USA or Canada (Remote)

This is a leadership role from day one - a chance to define how a modern funds practice operates. You'll shape strategy, guide delivery, and build a team that pairs exceptional legal judgment with innovative execution.

The opportunity

You'll:
  • Lead and grow a practice with clear strategic backing from the firm.
  • Work directly with the firms decision-makers, allowing you to move quickly and drive meaningful change.
  • Collaborate with lawyers, technologists, and operations specialists across the firm.
  • Help build the infrastructure for a modern, global funds practice - powered by AI

Requirements

You're a technically strong funds lawyer (typically 3-5 PQE) looking for more than the next rung on the ladder. You want to build something lasting - a new type of practice grounded in excellence, innovation, and trust.

You thrive where autonomy comes with accountability and where technology is an enabler, not a box-ticking exercise. You're curious, have a vision of what the future looks like, and the drive to make it happen.

Benefits

Avantia aims to offer a competitive salary, which will depend on the final candidate's PQE and unique experience. You will have the opportunity to discuss your salary expectations during the first call with the Talent team. Our benefits include:
        • 20 days holiday + Regional Public Holidays
        • An additional day off for your birthday
        • Private Healthcare, Dental and Vision policy contributions
        • Life Assurance
        • 401k Match
