  • Process Improvement : Identify and implement improvements to legal billing, matter management, and financial reporting processes to enhance efficiency and cost control.
  • Vendor & Rate Management : Assist in the negotiation of alternative fee arrangements (AFAs) and monitor compliance with outside counsel billing guidelines.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration : Work closely with the corporate Finance and Procurement teams to ensure alignment of legal budgets with overall company financial goals.

  • Strong understanding of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
  • Highly Preferred :
