Job Description
We are seeking an experienced strategic advisor who is equally at home analyzing a dataset and presenting to an executive leadership team. The Senior Manager, Client Advisory Services leads consulting engagements for law firm clients, translating Thomson Reuters’ industry-leading market intelligence into strategy that shapes their growth, profitability, and competitive position. Your ability to understand and address client needs will help our team foster long-term partnerships and drive success.
We are looking for a Senior Manager who can move fluidly between rigorous analysis and boardroom-level counsel. You will own the most complex client relationships, set the direction of custom research engagements, and deliver the recommendations firm leadership acts on — while working closely with fellow Client Advisory team members to shape the market intelligence and reporting that underpins that advice.

- Analyze financial and operational performance and provide guidance to improve profitability and efficiency.
- Frame the strategic questions behind each engagement and direct the research agenda needed to answer them.
Research and Analysis
- Perform comprehensive research and analysis on topics pertinent to client needs, using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
- Set the analytical approach and methodology for custom engagements and review outputs for rigor and relevance.
- Author and present high-impact reports, presentations, and executive summaries, translating complex data into a clear strategic narrative.
- Partner with team members on market reports and custom research, providing direction on scope, analysis, and client context.
Client Relationship Management
- Serve as the senior point of contact for key accounts, owning the relationship with firm leadership and managing multiple engagements simultaneously.
- Build and maintain strong and enduring client relationships by understanding their objectives and providing tailored solutions.
- Identify opportunities to expand existing engagements and support business development for the Client Advisory practice.
- Develop relationships with industry leaders and other stakeholders to drive market visibility and credibility for Client Advisory Services.
Collaboration and Continuous Improvement
- Mentor and develop junior colleagues, providing guidance on analysis, client communication, presentation, and professional growth.
- Work closely with internal teams to align research and advisory efforts with client goals.
- Collaborate with Client Advisory colleagues to share insights and best practices.
- Work with department and business segment leaders to help shape the team's service offerings and methodologies.
- Lead client meetings, presentations, and strategy sessions.
- Stay current with legal industry trends, market developments, regulatory changes, and emerging research methodologies, and brief clients on their implications.
