Legal Operations Delivery Manager

  • MPL Claims Management
  • Colchester, Essex
  • 27/07/2026
Full time Information Technology Telecommunications

Job Description

  • That only works if the operation behind it is structured, scalable, and aligned with Claims
The Role
  • You are responsible for making sure Legal delivery is ready, consistent, and scalable not reactive
This Means
  • Ensuring the Legal function has the capacity, workflows, and structure to absorb growth
  • Owning how Legal integrates with Claims not just in theory, but in day-to-day delivery
  • Building processes that work under pressure, not just on paper
  • Making sure service quality doesn't drop as volumes increase
  • You are the person who ensures that what MPL sells can be delivered properly
What This Role Really Requires

This is a delivery-first role. It will suit someone who:

  • Thinks in systems, not tasks - you design how things work, not just react to issues
  • Understands operational pressure - and builds processes that hold up under it
  • Is comfortable with accountability - if delivery breaks, you own fixing it
  • Uses data to drive decisions - not instinct or assumption
  • Challenges constructively - especially where process, structure, or capacity isn't good enough

You are here to build an operation that scales without falling apart

Experience We Expect
  • Background in claims handling, legal operations, or delivery-focused roles
  • Strong understanding of credit hire, personal injury, or litigation processes
  • Proven experience in operational delivery, capacity planning, or process improvement
  • Confidence working across multiple teams and challenging where needed
  • Highly organised, structured, and comfortable with complexity
What Success Looks Like
  • Legal delivery is consistent, controlled, and scalable
  • Growth in volume does not create chaos or service failure
  • Legal and Claims operate as one joined-up function
  • MI is actively used to improve performance, not just report it
  • The operation is predictable, efficient, and resilient under pressure
Why MPL
  • We combine Legal, Claims, and Technology to deliver better outcomes
  • That only works if the operation behind it is
  • This role is central to making that happen
