• Collect, organize, and analyze workload, filing, discovery, and matter data to identify trends, bottlenecks, and process improvement opportunities
• Develop dashboards, trackers, summaries, and other outputs that help attorneys and legal leadership manage work more effectively
• Serve as a coordination point across legal, business, and external stakeholders and communicate timelines and requirements

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree required; degree in business, data analytics, public policy, legal studies, operations, or a related field preferred
• Entry-level candidates and candidates with a few years of relevant experience are encouraged to apply; experience through internships, academic projects, prior employment, or process/data-focused work will be considered
• Prior experience in a legal department, law firm, regulatory environment, or utility/energy setting is helpful but not required
