This role combines expertise in data integration, migration, reporting, and business intelligence to deliver reliable, well-documented solutions that provide legal organizations with accurate, actionable insights.

Role Purpose

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement integrations between legal platforms and enterprise systems using ETL, APIs, middleware, or file-based exchange patterns.
• Map source-to-target data fields, define transformation rules, and maintain integration design documentation.
• Coordinate with application vendors and IT teams on API specifications, authentication methods, and data exchange formats.
• Use sandbox and development environments for integration build and testing; coordinate promotion to production.

Stakeholder Partnership and Delivery

• Communicate data findings, integration status, and technical decisions clearly to both business and technical audiences.
• Work effectively with client teams, platform vendors, and Sophus delivery colleagues in a structured project environment.
• Contribute to planning, status reporting, and continuous improvement of Sophus data and integration delivery practices.

Reporting and Business Intelligence

• Build operational reports, dashboards, and KPI views using SQL, BI platforms, and platform-native reporting capabilities.
• Translate business reporting requirements into structured, maintainable report designs with clear logic and documented assumptions.
• Validate report output against source data and resolve discrepancies in collaboration with business and technical stakeholders.

Data Migration and Reconciliation

• Lead or support data migration activities including extraction, transformation, loading, and post-load validation.
• Develop and execute data reconciliation checks, exception handling procedures, and quality assurance processes.
• Document migration runbooks, field mapping decisions, and issue logs to ensure audit-ready traceability.
• Triage data defects across migration and integration workstreams and drive issues through resolution and retesting.

Required Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• 5+ years in a data, integration, or BI-focused delivery role, ideally within legal technology or professional services.
• Proficiency in SQL for data analysis, migration validation, reconciliation, and reporting.
• Hands-on experience with ETL processes, API-based integrations, or structured data migration projects.
• Strong data mapping, transformation, and reconciliation skills with an eye for data quality and accuracy.
• Familiarity with legal operations data concepts such as matters, intakes, contacts, documents, time, and billing.
• Analytical mindset and strong attention to detail; comfortable debugging data issues under delivery pressure.
• Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to translate technical findings into business-readable summaries.
• Candidates must currently be located in the United States and authorized to work in the US.

Preferred Qualifications

• BS/BA in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Analytics, or a related field.
• Experience with legal BI or reporting platforms such as Power BI, Tableau, or platform-native reporting in case or matter management systems.
• Familiarity with document management system integrations (iManage, NetDocuments) and Outlook or email integration patterns.
• Experience with a legal case management or practice management platform data model is a strong plus.
• Relevant data, integration, or analytics certifications a plus.
