Legal Project Manager

Position Summary:

The Legal Project Manager is the central coordinator for the growing Cybersecurity and Privacy Team, managing client-request intake, work allocation, deadline tracking and the team's project-management platform. Working with attorneys and practice leadership, this role keeps work visible, flags delays early and moves requests efficiently from intake to completion.

This is a dedicated project-management role, not a legal-assistant or document-production position. Legal advice and decisions on legal priorities remain with the attorneys.

Key Responsibilities:

Intake and Client Coordination

• Capture new client requests, including scope, timing, background and information needed for attorney review, then acknowledge and route as needed
• Obtain missing information from clients and coordinate attorney follow-up.
• Learn the team's cybersecurity and privacy request types and urgency indicators; escalate urgent or unclear requests promptly.
• Follow Firm conflicts and matter-opening procedures; approvals remain with the responsible teams.

Workflow and Deadline Management

• Assign work with supervising attorneys based on expertise, availability and priorities, with a clear owner, next step and due date for each request.
• Track active requests, milestones and deadlines; follow up on outstanding tasks and escalate bottlenecks, deadline risks and capacity constraints early.
• Communicate approved changes in scope, timing or staffing to relevant stakeholders.
• Close completed requests so records stay current.

Platform Ownership and Process Improvement

• Administer project-management platform (intake forms, boards, dashboards, reminders and automations) and help attorneys adopt shared tracking processes.
• Report regularly on intake volume, assignments, upcoming deadlines, aging requests and capacity.
• Identify, document and implement intake and workflow improvements with practice leadership.
• Handle confidential client and Firm information in line with Firm security requirements.

Job Requirements:

Experience & Education

• Legal Project Management certification or equivalent credential preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in law, business, or a related field.
• Minimum of four years of project management experience, preferably in a large law firm or professional services environment.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity, data privacy, or incident response work preferred.

Skills

• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and follow-through in a high-volume environment.
• Hands-on proficiency with Monday.com or a comparable project management platform.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, sound judgment, and a service-oriented approach to working with clients and attorneys.
• Ability to follow up with attorneys diplomatically, work independently, and adapt effectively as priorities change.
