The opportunity:

We are looking for an energetic, highly motivated leader to establish and lead our Legal Data Analysis team in Pune. This is a unique opportunity to help build a new team and expand an established global function into India.

As the first Team Leader for this function in Pune, you will play an important role in building the team's capabilities, culture, and operating model.

You will be responsible for recruiting, onboarding, coaching, and developing a team of Legal Data Analysts while ensuring consistent, high-quality product delivery. You will also establish effective processes and ways of working that enable collaboration across Pune and U.S.-based teams.

This role requires someone who is comfortable operating in a developing environment, can create structure where needed, and is excited about building a high-performing team while maintaining strong connections with colleagues and stakeholders globally.

We’ll trust you to:

• LL.B. or equivalent law degree from a recognized institution
• Professional experience in the legal field, legal research, legal data, legal publishing, legal operations, or a related environment
