Technologist

Are you a tech savvy problem solver who would like the chance to make an impact as a Technologist, bringing ideas to the table to improve and transform technical processes to make them more efficient? Would you like to work for an ambitious, forward thinking business that offers hybrid working and prides itself on its people first culture?

An exciting Technologist opportunity has arisen at the stunning offices of our client, one of the UK's top law firms where you will sit between and work closely with fee earners, the technology team, and client services to look at ways to be more efficient in the use of various tools and platforms (primarily task management, document automation, collaboration solutions), and consequently improve service to clients by delivering innovative solutions. The idea is for fee earners to be able to use their time more efficiently on fee earning activities, and so as a Technologist, you will be looking at "better ways of doing tasks", making processes and programmes (such as automated solutions) more efficient as well as rolling out new technology to fee earners. There is also the chance to make an impact on an upcoming digital transformation project as well.

As a Technologist your new role will involve:

• Improving and creating new automated solutions (e.g. document automation) to improve efficiency
• Understanding challenges teams face serving clients and working to find solutions alongside other teams
• Designing and maintaining document templates and calibration tools
• Assisting with preparation for meetings and follow up on behalf of fee earners
• Troubleshooting issues and ensuring colleagues get the most out of the technology and systems
• Assisting with the delivery of training on new tools to colleagues

I am very interested in speaking with candidates who have experience working as a Technologist, Business Analyst, Technical Analyst, Technology Specialist, IT Specialist, Automation Specialist, Software Specialist, or Systems Engineer, and who possesses a degree in Law or Computer Science (or tech related subject). A passion for technology and strong IT skills are essential; knowledge of or experience using HighQ, Contract Express, Clarilis, HotDocs or project management workflow tools would be attractive.

Salary for this position is c. 30,000 to 32,000 p.a. (depending on level of experience).

Benefits include: hybrid working, life assurance, private healthcare, Group Income Protection, your birthday off (if it falls on a working day), charity day to use each year, Employee Assistance Programme, and company social events.

The company's stunning offices offer free parking (limited on-site on a first come first serviced basis or) close by to the offices, however if you are travelling by public transport they are only a short 10-15 minutes walk from the nearest train station.
