A Career that Empowers You to Build Your Future
We are looking for a Senior Manager, Legal Operations who brings the discipline of a finance manager to
the legal function. This role sits at the intersection of legal, finance, data, and analytics, responsible for
the budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and financial analytics that keep the Legal Department running
efficiently. The ideal candidate is a numbers-driven operator who has spent time in Legal Operations and
understands how to translate legal spend, matter data, and vendor performance into clear, decision-ready
reporting for leadership.
This is a highly analytical, reporting-intensive position. Much of your week will be spent building,
automating, and refining dashboards, financial models, and recurring reports that give the Chief Legal
Officer and executive stakeholders visibility into cost, efficiency, and risk.

partnering closely with Finance.
• Track and analyze outside counsel spend against budgets and rate agreements; produce vendor
and firm performance scorecards.

matter volumes, accruals, and department KPIs.
• Develop dashboards and management reporting that translate operational and legal data into
clear insights for leadership and the board.
Reporting Automation
• Design and build automated, repeatable reporting workflows that reduce manual effort and
improve the timeliness and accuracy of recurring reports.

• Analyze outside counsel cost trends and value delivery, and identify cost-saving opportunities.
• Drive process improvements that increase data quality, cost transparency, and operational
efficiency across the legal team.
Analysis & Business Partnership
• Serve as the finance partner to the Legal Department, providing analysis and reporting that
informs department decisions.
• Partner with Finance, Accounting, and Procurement on budgeting, accruals, and vendor matters.
• Provide ad hoc financial analysis and modeling to support strategic decisions (in-sourcing vs.
outsourcing, headcount planning, technology investments).
• Identify trends and cost drivers, and recommend actions to improve efficiency and predictability of
legal spend.
Requirements
• 7+ years of experience in finance, FP&A, or accounting, including budgeting, forecasting, and
management reporting.

• Proficiency with reporting and BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) and a track record of automating
recurring reports and dashboards.
• Expertise with Legal e-billing and matter management platforms required; experience with Legal
Tracker preferred.
