The Opportunity:

An exciting opportunity exists in our global Knowledge and Expertise (K&E) function for a Service Management Coordinator to provide efficient and effective workflow management and administrative support for the Knowledge & Expertise function, acting as the central contact point for internal and external queries and requests.

K&E's work and responsibilities go to the heart of Ashurst's 2027 strategy. Our specialists across the firm empower our legal teams with insights, skills and tools so that they can deliver exceptional client service across the globe. They:

• equip our practice areas with high-quality research and thought leadership, and develop and maintain our legal knowledge and information resources;
• enable our lawyers to achieve practice excellence through legal learning programmes and mentoring;
• enhance our legal teams' work and client delivery by implementing next-generation tools and technologies, and by driving consistency in our legal documents and processes.

This is a new, vitally important role, that enables K&E to provide a globally consistent and high-quality service offering to the firm and its clients.

The role will report to K&E's Programme Manager and work closely with all members of the K&E Senior Leadership Team, and the Service Management Coordinator in APAC.

The role will be the primary point of contact for K&E in EMEA, engaging with both internal and external clients to address their queries, triage service requests and connect them with specialist resources within the function.

The role will be responsible for managing a diverse range of on-demand tasks from the team's leadership, providing critical administrative support to enable the progression of projects and activities and ensuring efficient coordination within the function.

The role requires strong organisational skills, basic data management and analysis skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate effectively with team members and external stakeholders.

This is a full-time, permanent role that can be based in either our London or Glasgow office with hybrid working.
