JOB DESCRIPTION
Connect to your Industry
The legal sector is changing fast. Generative AI, digital technologies and rising expectations around efficiency are reshaping how legal services are delivered, and the pace of that change is only accelerating.
The Deloitte Legal Management Consulting (LMC) team works with in-house legal departments and law firms to help them rethink their operating models from process, people and technology. We combine consulting expertise with a deep understanding of the legal sector, helping clients move from strategy to practical, technology-enabled transformation. Deloitte Legal in the UK is part of the global Deloitte Legal network, with over 2,500 legal professionals in more than 85 jurisdictions, making it one of the largest legal businesses in the world.
Connect to your opportunity
As a Manager, you will act as the primary steward and co-ordinator of agreed deliverables with clients, own the day-to-day client relationship on site, manage junior team members, maintain a clear understanding of the client's desired outcome and steer the direction of work accordingly, and begin to build expertise in a specific area while helping to identify sell-on opportunities.
What you will be working on:
- Assignments across the full legal market — with in-house legal departments, contracts teams and law firms, including projects involving AI and technology-enabled transformation
- Developing deep expertise in one or more LMC domains, and leading and developing multidisciplinary project teams
- Taking primary ownership of the day-to-day client relationship, building trusted working relationships at mid-to-senior stakeholder level
- Actively contributing to business development, including proposals, bid workstreams and the development of new LMC propositions and methodologies
What your day-to-day will look like:
- Supporting the strategic planning and scoping of engagements, owning multiple workstreams and deliverables, and applying knowledge of the client's broader legal context to shape recommendations
- Managing Consultant and Analyst grades, reviewing deliverables, providing timely feedback, and using PowerPoint, Excel, Swift, PairD and Legora as core delivery tools
- Owning and leading client meetings and workshops, communicating clearly and concisely, managing daily client interactions, proactively identifying risks, and staying at the forefront of LMC and AI market trends
- Contributing to scope documents and statements of work, managing engagement budgets, interpreting engagement data, and taking personal accountability for steering work in alignment with client and Deloitte objectives
- Setting clear expectations for junior team members, providing regular and specific feedback, addressing performance concerns promptly, coaching team members and sharing knowledge
- Leading bid workstreams, drafting tender responses, contributing to account management and new offer development, and proactively identifying new opportunities from client engagements
- Leading practice development initiatives, contributing to LMC propositions and thought leadership, and serving as a subject matter resource for other teams

Personal independence
Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
