Join Goodwin’s Global Operations Team, and make a real impact on a global scale. At Goodwin, we work with some of the world’s most successful and innovative investors, entrepreneurs and disruptors in the life sciences, private equity, real estate, technology and financial industries, and where they converge. As part of the Global Operations Team – all business professionals at the firm – you’ll collaborate with colleagues from varied backgrounds and experiences, fostering an environment where cross-functional learning, networking, and collaboration are at the core of what we do. Here, we’re not just supporting a law firm; we’re partnering with attorneys and clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions in high-stakes litigation and dispute resolution, world-class regulatory compliance and advisory services, and complex transactions. Our commitment to integrity, ingenuity, agility, and ambition drives us, and we’re proud to have been recognised as the “Best Business Team” by The American Lawyer. This is your opportunity to grow professionally in a dynamic, global environment, surrounded by forward-thinking peers. Join a strategic, ambitious, and innovative Pricing Team that’s rewriting how legal services are priced, delivered, and experienced. We’re commercially savvy, naturally collaborative, and intrinsically innovative—and we’re looking for an Analyst ready to make waves with us. This high-impact, fast-paced, high-visibility role partners closely with lawyers, clients, and colleagues across Finance, Client Development, and Legal Project Management. You’ll help shape and deliver pricing strategies that move us beyond the billable hour, improve profitability, and deliver greater value to clients.

Data & Insight Analyze historic matter data and performance metrics to inform pricing decisions. Translate data into actionable insights and compelling client narratives. Contribute to firmwide pricing and client value initiatives by applying data-driven solutions that enhance efficiency, transparency, and client value. Support in developing playbooks, toolkits, and self-serve resources for pricing enablement. Support in developing mechanisms to measure adoption of recommended pricing approaches. Monitor budget-to-actual performance, analyze variances, and prepare concise financial reporting for attorneys. Collect, construct and analyze matter and timekeeper data to produce reports on hours, rates, and profitability.

Collaboration & Relationship Building Support in developing and coordinating training/education to attorneys and clients on Goodwin’s pricing approach. Support the preparation of internal and client-facing materials with a focus on accuracy and clarity. Ensure deliverables are consistent, accurate and aligned with client expectations under tight deadlines.
