Your research will span key legal markets including NYC, Houston, Dallas, DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Miami.

This role is the engine behind our growth — if you love going deep on data, understanding the nuances of legal practice areas, and helping design and build systems that make experts more effective, this is your opportunity.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

● Attorney List Building: Build comprehensive candidate lists across multiple practice areas by researching attorney backgrounds, deal sheets, and firm rosters.

● Tech Forward Mindset: Comfort with AI tools, data platforms, and automation. You don't need to be an engineer — but you should be excited about using technology to work smarter and faster.

● Research Depth: You're the kind of person who goes three clicks deeper than everyone else. You notice what others miss. You find patterns in data.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

● Quality: Senior recruiters trust your lists and need minimal revisions before presenting to clients.

● Speed: Research that used to take days is delivered in hours.
