  • Lead sales pursuits, proposals, and client presentations to secure new mandates.
  • Build and maintain senior relationships with corporate clients, law firms, and partners.
  • Collaborate with Markets & Partnerships, Marketing, and regional leaders on go-to-market initiatives and thought leadership.
  • Track pipeline, revenue, and growth metrics to deliver on annual targets, operating entrepreneurially in a fast-moving, lightly structured environment where initiative and persistence drive results.

  • Design and implement qualitative and quantitative data analysis methodologies to discover meaningful trends, red flag behavior and optimize operational efficiencies.
  • Leverage analytics and technology to identify trends, anomalies, and risk indicators across large, complex datasets.
  • Advise clients and colleagues on high-profile, challenging and multi-jurisdictional matters requiring data analytics expertise.
  • Lead by example as a hands-on practitioner when needed, applying technical and analytical skills to support project delivery, troubleshoot complex data challenges, and ensure client expectations are met - demonstrating both leadership and ownership of the Americas delivery footprint.
  • Leadership

  • Lead and inspire a diverse, high-performing team across multiple geographies, fostering collaboration, innovation, and accountability.
  • Partner with the Global Discovery + Data Insights leadership team to shape strategy, service offerings, and talent development.

  • Drive cultural and operational change within the Americas practice, influencing peers and stakeholders to embrace innovation, new delivery models, and a growth mindset.
  • Mentor and coach junior team members to help them advance professionally and foster a productive and enjoyable work environment.
  • Foster clear, consistent communication across teams and stakeholders, ensuring alignment on priorities, progress, and client expectations.
  • Project management

  • Ensure timely, high-quality delivery of complex analytics projects – managing scope, budget, and evolving client priorities with sound judgment, agility, and a bias for action.
  • Work to exceed clients’ expectations while identifying and mitigating business risks associated with projects.
  • Establish and uphold consistent project management standards and best practices to ensure efficiency, accountability, and quality across all engagements.

  • Familiarity with compliance, legal, or investigative contexts, such as anti-bribery, fraud, AML, sanctions, or broader regulatory frameworks.
  • Comfortable operating in a dynamic, lightly structured environment, able to take initiative, navigate ambiguity, and drive progress with limited oversight.
  • Ambitious and growth-oriented, eager to develop into a senior leadership role and take on increasing commercial and practice-management responsibilities as the Americas practice expands.
