Senior Legal Project Management Analyst

About the role

Are you energized by turning complex financial data into clear, actionable insight that shapes how legal teams work?

You'll lead the charge on matter and portfolio financial analysis, translating numbers into strategic recommendations that drive smarter decisions. Beyond that, you'll be the go-to expert for reporting: designing sharp, insightful analyses and setting the standard for data quality and analytical rigor across the team.

• Serve as owner and subject matter expert of the firm's budget tracking platform
• Analyze historical matter data to build reusable budget templates and maintain a database of matter analyses for future use
• Build and periodically update custom budget-versus-actual reports, and provide partners with reminders of key deadlines such as monthly accruals or forecast updates
• Draft and maintain client-specific playbooks and standard operating procedures
• Clean up, organize, and catalog scope documents and matter analogs so information can be efficiently reused across future matters
• Set up reporting on new matters, field ad hoc reporting requests from partners, and keep LPM dashboards updated with the most current information
