Ours is an environment of outperformance. We achieve this not with targets and incentives, but by fostering a positive, supportive, fair, and open atmosphere. We respect and value difference but insist on inclusivity. We celebrate all aspects of diversity and challenge any form of bias. This is vital to our ability to work as one team, with a common goal.

About the role

This is a rare opportunity to play a leading role at the intersection of complex legal matters, advanced pricing strategy and GenAI‐assisted delivery. You will be a recognised expert in complex matter pricing, supporting partners and senior stakeholders on high‐value, multi‐jurisdictional and technologically sophisticated matters. Working at the heart of the firm's commercial agenda, you'll help shape how we price, structure and deliver work in an evolving legal market - including matters that leverage technology and GenAI to drive efficiency, value and innovation. You will lead and develop a high‐performing pricing team, while working with lawyers, legal tech specialists, legal project managers and finance colleagues to design compelling commercial proposals that work for both clients and the firm.

Key aspects of the role include:

• Leading the firm’s complex matter pricing capability, including matters with tech‐ and GenAI‐assisted delivery
• Acting as a trusted commercial adviser to partners on:

• pricing strategy

• financial modelling, margin analysis and negotiation planning

This role offers global exposure, strategic influence and the opportunity to help shape the future of pricing in a leading international law firm.
