- Lead regular review meetings with Partners and lawyers on complex matters
- Act as a senior point of expertise for revenue control and billing matters

- Confidence working with Partners, lawyers and senior stakeholders
- Experience managing complex client portfolios
- Line management or mentoring experience, with a supportive and collaborative leadership style
