• Ensure pricing strategies are robust, comply with regulatory requirements and align with internal profitability targets and policy, collaborating with relevant stakeholders.

• Participate in global fee deal negotiations, setting out and agreeing opening, acceptable, and alternative positions with client partners.

• Deliver practical pricing recommendations and insights that reflect commercial considerations and support strategic priorities.

• Lead quantitative analysis and financial modelling projects to generate insights for price-setting, taking risk profile and market factors into account.

• Continuously enhance pricing processes to meet evolving business needs, including training lawyers and business teams, reporting, and monitoring pricing performance.

• Oversee reporting systems to track pricing outcomes, including automation opportunities; manage pricing research initiatives to improve understanding of margin, risk, and profitability drivers.

• Develop commercial strategies in partnership with stakeholders to help achieve internal margin targets.

• Shape pricing market cadence by analysing competitive intelligence and adopting best practice in technology and artificial intelligence for fee modelling.

• Lead and develop a high-performing team, set and implement team goals, and provide ongoing professional guidance.

• At least five years' leadership experience in a finance or pricing function within a global professional services or corporate environment, ideally in the legal sector.

• Demonstrated ability to lead a team delivering rigorous finance and audit activities, with experience in payroll functions.

• Proven track record in global fee negotiation, and in analysing competitive intelligence in the legal market to inform risk and profitability management.

• Strong commercial acumen, advanced skills in SAP and related analytics platforms, and fluency in business English.

• Excellent communication skills, including presenting financial insights to senior stakeholders.

Are personable and approachable, possess engaging communication skills and are an adaptable team player, bringing energy, professionalism and attention to detail to all your tasks.
