Job Description
This is not a typical client management role
  • At MPL, Legal is scaling fast. More clients, more complexity, higher expectations
  • We don't need someone to "manage relationships." We need someone who owns them
  • This role sits at the point where client expectation meets operational reality and makes sure the two align
The Role
  • You will take full ownership of how clients experience MPL Legal
  • From onboarding through to ongoing delivery, you are the person who ensures clients feel in control, informed, and confident not chasing, questioning, or second-guessing
You Will
  • Lead onboarding of new clients, turning complex requirements into clear, executable delivery
  • Act as the central point of ownership across Legal, Claims, and Operations
  • Build relationships that are based on trust, not dependency
  • Own SLA/KPI conversations setting expectations properly, not retrospectively managing issues
  • Identify risks early and deal with them before they become problems
  • Control change no ad hoc solutions that break scalability
What This Role Really Requires

This is a high-accountability role. It will suit someone who is:

  • Commercially aware you understand the impact of decisions on both client and business outcomes
  • Operationally credible you know how Legal and Claims work, not just how they're described
  • Confident with clients you can challenge, reset expectations, and lead conversations when needed
  • Structured in your thinking you bring order to complexity and make things repeatable
  • Proactive by default you don't wait to be asked or told
Experience We Expect
  • Strong background in client-facing or account management roles within claims, legal, or insurance environments
  • Good working knowledge of credit hire, personal injury, or litigation processes
  • Proven ability to manage stakeholders across multiple functions
  • Experience handling onboarding, implementation, or service delivery in a structured environment
What Success Looks Like
  • Clients describe MPL as easy to work with, structured, and in control
  • Onboarding is consistent, repeatable, and professionally executed every time
  • Internal teams are aligned, clear, and set up to deliver
  • Growth in Legal services happens without disruption, inconsistency, or rework
Why MPL
  • We are not building a traditional claims business
  • We combine Legal, Claims, and Technology to deliver outcomes differently and better
  • That only works if the client experience is as strong as the delivery behind it
