As a leading global consultancy, we deliver projects and services to the top 100 law firms both in the Australia and internationally. We have operations in the UK, US, Europe and Australia. We are experiencing rapid growth so are looking for new talent in several areas of our business. This is an ideal job if you're keen to develop your consulting and business analysis skills and further progress in your career. Enthusiasm, interest, and drive are as important to us as any relevant experience you have. We'll give you full training and the opportunity to work in a stimulating and supportive working environment.

There is an expectation that as the business grows and we setup a Melbourne office they would be in the office at least 3 days a week and assist in running this office/setting an example. Your role: As a Senior Consultant, you will build strong customer relationships with key individuals and teams across Harbor, our partners and our clients.

While it would be great if you had already worked in or alongside a law firm's risk and compliance or business systems teams working as a business analyst, we're really looking for a good mix of aptitude and attitude. For this role, that means recent project experience and hands on systems experience across business software and IT systems allied with problem-solving skills and a logical approach to challenges together with determination and an eagerness to learn. Essential Criteria: Knowledge of the legal industry with proven experience in a consulting/business analysis role working in or for law firms; Knowledge of business software and IT systems; Excellent organisational skills and analytical skills with an attention to detail; A good listener with the ability to communicate effectively with people of diverse disciplines and to all levels with a client's organisation; Manages their own time effectively to maximise utilisation and to balance demands from multiple projects; A commercial thinker with the ability to generate work for themselves but also for Harbor at large; Ability to work proactively, without close supervision; A natural team player willing to assist and share knowledge with other team members; Excellent English language verbal and written communication skills; Flexibility to switch between projects according to business priorities.
