Full job description
Firm Operations Project Manager
Cooley LLP is seeking a Project Manager to join the Firm Operations team.
About Cooley: Cooley is a global law firm with an expansive practice and more than 3,000 employees and partners worldwide. We value and celebrate diverse perspectives and strive to create a workplace where every individual can thrive. At the core of Cooley’s success is the exceptional talent and unwavering spirit of our people. We embrace individuality while fostering a ‘one-firm’ culture where collaboration and creativity thrive. Our people are the foundation of our success and the driving force behind everything we do.
Hybrid Schedule Philosophy: As part of the Cooley culture, we recognize and appreciate the value of being together, in person, to build comradery with others in the office and to be a contributing member of the Cooley office. However, we also appreciate the benefits and flexibility that come from remote working. As such, the default assumption for employees and partners is a hybrid schedule: some in-office presence and some work from home days absent certain essential in-office roles that require five (5) days/week in-office
Position summary: Cooley Firm Operations embraces a culture of excellence and transparency, and all members of the department are expected to move this agenda forward. The Firm Operations Project Manager will proactively manage multiple related critical projects to achieve a specific organizational goal(s), ensuring that all requisite projects are being actively driven and seamlessly coordinated with the firm’s evolving platform/data and digital workplace strategies. The Firm Operations Project Manager should, at a moment’s notice, be able to report accurately and cohesively regarding the status of a given project and should feel comfortable managing up to five high-profile initiatives simultaneously. As a team member within central firm operations, the Firm Operations Project Manager is expected to understand the full intake/demand cycle, inclusive of budgeting and procurement so that they may guide their program stakeholders through an end-to-end experience with all operational aspects of program-related business. Specific duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
Position responsibilities:
Establish rapid familiarity with various project lifecycles including but not limited to agile custom software development, software and vendor selection (RFI/RFP), process reengineering initiatives; extensively research project frameworks where required to quickly self-start and deliver various types of projects successfully
Critically analyze work on receipt and on an ongoing basis, ensuring the most efficient and cost-effective options are employed, factoring in detailed assessments of in-house assets and proposing business process changes where appropriate
Ensure that business needs and desired project outcomes are documented and measured (during and post-implementation) at a detailed and comprehensive level, continually leading to better decisions and investments
Extensively research and understand market relevance (and alternatives) and monitor for changing conditions that may impact the scope or body of work
Proactively build and maintain delivery and test plans that are built to surface issues, risks and dependencies as early as possible; ensure that project/task dates, assignments and regular updates are made consistently in the project management platform (project plans in the firm’s PPM platform should serve as one-stop shop for what’s happening on a given project at any point in time)
Ensure stakeholder and firm operational readiness for delivery of work, build and deliver change management and communication plans accordingly
Ensure that all key project artifacts are delivered – roles and responsibilities, scope statement/charter, business requirements, test plan, release plan, change management and communication plan, etc
Proactively and transparently communicate bodies of work, progress/stoppages, potential risks and issues to team leadership on a proactive and ongoing basis; when in doubt, escalate
Work intra and inter team to understand, evaluate and action enterprise resource constraints, work/delivery overlap, and areas where outcomes and business benefits are not adequately well-defined to warrant firm investment
Adhere to consistently evolving and improving delivery standards established by team/department leadership
Establish and maintain program-level KPIs and reports
All other duties as required
Skills and experience:
Required:
After orientation at Cooley LLP, exhibit proficiency in the Microsoft Office suite, iManage and other firm applications
Ability to work extended and/or weekend hours, as required
Ability to travel, as required
3+ years project management and planning experience implementing projects. Senior candidates must have 5+ years applicable experience in the field.
Experience with a suite of projects/programs inclusive of process reengineering and improvement, software and vendor evaluation and selection (RFPs) and implementation, and agile custom software development
Experience working in the legal and/or operations industry
Competencies:
Ability to trust and elicit trust
Strategic, critical thinking and reasoning skills
Excellent verbal and written comprehension skills
Strong business acumen
Risk intelligent, anticipatory and perceptive
Proactive and agile, able to think 5 steps ahead
Outcome-driven and solution-oriented; driver and task-maker rather than task-taker
Deep blend of delivery experience and business analysis experience
Able to juggle and prioritize multiple competing priorities; swift turnaround on deliverables to be able to manage multiple critical initiatives at once
Comfortable operating within a grey area and willing to ask questions and ask for help
Expert collaboration and communication skills, ability to professionally convey clear and concise information to any audience
Cooley offers a competitive compensation and excellent benefits package and is committed to fair and equitable employment practices.
