This position will be a part of the Strategy & Insights group.

Core Responsibilities

•
 

Develop & Own Forecasting Models:
 Build and continually tune drivers-based case progression and settlement forecasts that feed into attorney/staff headcount models, revenue projections, and P&L scenarios.

•
 

Headcount & Capacity Planning
: Translate case inventory and flow forecasts into staffing needs (attorneys, case managers, support), including "what-if" scenario modeling (growth, attrition, rightsizing) and pipeline management.

•
 

Revenue & P&L Modeling:
 Integrate forecasted case outcomes, fee structures, and timing lags into multi-period financial models to project cash flow, revenue recognition, profitability, and marketing ROI.

•
 

Prescriptive Analytics:
 Surface actionable recommendations (e.g., staffing reallocation, marketing spend adjustments, operations bottlenecks) based on deviations and leading indicators.

•
 

Dashboarding & Automation:
 Build and maintain automated dashboards/reports (Power BI + SQL, Excel, Python pipelines) to surface forecast outputs, variance analyses, KPIs, and scenario comparisons to stakeholders.

•
 

Cross-functional Partnership:
 Work closely with Operations, Finance, and Marketing to align assumptions, socialize forecasts, and embed analytic insights into planning cycles.

•
 

Benchmarking & Goal Setting:
 Establish internal benchmarks (e.g., case resolution velocity, attorney productivity, budgeting) and help set realistic targets.

•
 

Root Cause & Variance Analysis:
 Lead deep dives when actuals diverge from forecast; quantify driver impacts and recommend corrective actions.

•
 

Influence & Storytelling:
 Provide the Strategy & Insights group with concise narratives and presentations to report to senior leadership for driving strategic decisions.

•
 

Strategy & Insights:
 Provide timely, data-backed insights on special initiatives, one-off questions, and evolving business needs across multiple cross functional groups.

• Strong Excel modeling skills.

• Demonstrated ability to translate data into business impact, translating findings to a non-technical audience.

• Familiarity with drivers-based and bottom-up forecast construction, variance analysis, and scenario planning.

• Prior experience in legal operations, personal injury or litigation-focused forecasting, or professional services staffing models.

• Exposure to P&L modeling with lag structures (e.g., case lifecycle revenue recognition).

• Experience with prescriptive analytics / optimization (simple decision rules, cost-benefit tradeoffs).

• Familiarity with statistical survival analysis, competing risks, time series, causal inference, and specialized time-to-event modeling (common in case progression).

• Experience integrating data from CRM/Case management systems (e.g., Litify/Salesforce) into forecasting pipelines.

• Knowledge of revenue operations (RevOps) concepts and how they intersect with capacity and cost models.
