This is a new role reporting into our recently appointed Operations Manager. 

You will help identify areas for improvement using data and industry knowledge. That is why we think experience of the legal sector would be very helpful.

This is a similar role to a Business Analyst, where you will go out into the business, meet colleagues, learn their ways of working and start mapping out the process. 

You can also support our work around enhancing business reporting and management information across the firm. You are comfortable analysing data through a variety of statistical methods and models.

You are probably someone who is very skilled with spreadsheets, systems and all things data. Completing data mapping for processes across various departments is on the 'To do list'.

You ask a lot of questions and we don't mind, in fact we want you to do that around the business. 

Apply only if you have an enquiring mind.

At Napthens we're more than just a firm of solicitors and lawyers.

The business services functions are a vital part of how we operate, providing essential support to allow the legal professionals to carry out their work and support our clients.

From marketing to technology, risk and compliance to operations, and HR to finance, the business services teams make up around a third of our colleagues.

We provide ongoing career support to all our colleagues, often providing long-standing careers both in the firm and in the legal profession.

Salary + Bonus scheme + benefits that support your health and wellbeing, hybrid working patterns, full time.

Our head office is Preston and we have five (5) other offices in the north west region including Blackburn, Lytham, Kendal, Southport and Liverpool.

From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences.

Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design.
