What are we looking for?

The Senior Analyst Developer will be responsible for analysing requirements, designing, developing and testing robust IT systems to support the firm's rapid expansion and need for enhanced information to support business operations. 

This role will be supported by two Analyst Developers and you should be comfortable mentoring and offering guidance to them. It would suit a developer who is a clear and confident communicator who's looking for the opportunity to build and enhance applications, as well as a team management role.  Ideally you will be a graduate with solid programming experience in a professional environment, ideally in a law firm.  Experience of working in a team split across multiple global locations would also be useful.

The role

The role sits within the Business systems team so you will be developing, enhancing and supporting our business applications alongside our team of finance and systems analysts.  Report design / information visualisation will also be important.  Strong design, UI, development and SQL skills will be required.

As a technical expert, the Senior Analyst Programmer will assess the overall requirements, determine different options for how it might be engineered (including any pros and cons for each option), indicate data flows, specify interfaces, and highlight dependencies on external systems.  They will prepare functional design specifications, prototypes for evaluation, and describe data that can be used to test the solution.  Their designs will be challenged and they will be expected to iterate based on feedback. There is also a strong element of troubleshooting involved in the role.

The Senior Analyst Developer will ideally have familiarity with legal business processes and the sort of IT systems that support them, such as Elite 3E/Elite Enterprise for practice management, Interaction for client relationship management information, and knowledge of the IntApp product suite would be an advantage.
