Document Production Specialist – Join Eversheds Sutherland’s Home-Based Team
Eversheds Sutherland is a global law firm with over 5,000 people across 30+ countries. Operating as a full-service firm with deep niche expertise, we deliver top-tier legal solutions worldwide. Central to our mission is our commitment to purpose-driven work, enabling clients and colleagues alike to thrive in a dynamic environment.
We’re hiring an experienced Document Production Specialist to strengthen our home-based Day Team (12pm–8pm, Monday–Friday), while remaining accessible to regional offices in Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester, or Birmingham for monthly in-office days.
The Opportunity
Our In-House Team (part of our Day Support Unit) specialises in document production—producing legally critical materials of the highest quality to support our client teams globally. Key responsibilities span a broad spectrum, including:
- Processing dictation (audio content from BigHand, Speech Recognition, or Windows Media Player)
- Polishing and formatting complex legal and client-facing documents (ensuring house style and firm branding compliance)
- Designing, refining, and managing pitches, presentations, posters and other collateral material
- Proofing for grammatical, structural, and client consistency
- Daily volume of 150+ tasks, each varied in nature (ranging from simple amendments to high-stakes projects with tight turnarounds)
This role blends autonomy (spending time at home) with collaborative opportunities—meaning occasional in-person days are balanced with remote flexibility.
