About The Position

Join Goodwin’s Global Operations Team, and make a real impact on a global scale. At Goodwin, we work with some of the world’s most successful and innovative investors, entrepreneurs and disruptors in the life sciences, private equity, real estate, technology and financial industries, and where they converge. As part of the Global Operations Team – all business professionals at the firm – you’ll collaborate with colleagues from varied backgrounds and experiences, fostering an environment where cross-functional learning, networking, and collaboration are at the core of what we do. Here, we’re not just supporting a law firm; we’re partnering with attorneys and clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions in high-stakes litigation and dispute resolution, world-class regulatory compliance and advisory services, and complex transactions. Our commitment to integrity, ingenuity, agility, and ambition drives us, and we’re proud to have been recognised as the “Best Business Team” by The American Lawyer. This is your opportunity to grow professionally in a dynamic, global environment, surrounded by forward-thinking peers. As Senior Analyst, Client & Market Intelligence, you will help build a leading-edge client and competitive intelligence capability that goes beyond reporting to predictive and prescriptive analytics. You will transform data from multiple sources into curated insights, growth strategies and actionable recommendations that anticipate disruption and capitalize on emerging opportunities in legal services. Through strategic partnership with Client Development leadership, Strategy & Transformation, Digital & Technology, and Marketing, you will influence how Goodwin uses client, marketing, and competitive intelligence to deepen client relationships, expand the client base, and drive cross-practice growth. In this role, you will help shape how Goodwin realizes client growth potential in a data-driven, strategic way. You’ll be instrumental in making sure the firm not only knows its clients and markets intimately, but acts on that knowledge — driving the types of client development, cross-practice synergies and growth that keep Goodwin at the forefront of innovation and client service.
