Job Summary:

• The Applied Data Science team within Legal Operations is building the data and AI foundation that powers one of Client's most critical legal programs.
• We are looking for a hands-on Data Program Manager (TPM) to embed within the program and own delivery coordination for the data and analytics workstream — tracking milestones, managing dependencies, writing requirements, and ensuring the team’s work stays visible and on track across a complex, cross-functional environment.
• This is an engagement for someone who thrives at the intersection of data, technology, and program delivery — and who gets into the details, not just the status updates.

Job Description:

• The Data Program Manager drives hands-on program delivery for the data and analytics workstream within a large, cross-functional legal program.
• You will be embedded in the program owing to the backlog, writing requirements, running ceremonies, and representing the data workstream to technology teams, functional stakeholders, and the PMO.
• Own end-to-end program management for the data workstream — tracking milestones, managing dependencies, and ensuring delivery against program commitments.
• Build and maintain program trackers, dependency maps, and status dashboards directly — not delegated, owned.
• Own the data workstream backlog — actively prioritize, refine, and sequence work with the engineering and analytics team.
• Run sprint ceremonies — standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and backlog grooming for the data workstream.
• Write detailed requirements documents and data specifications — translating business needs into clear, actionable inputs for data engineers, analysts, and architects.
• Manage multiple concurrent program phases simultaneously, coordinating data delivery commitments across overlapping timelines.
• Represent the data and analytics workstream in cross-functional forums including technology workstreams, functional teams, and the PMO.
• Translate data teamwork — pipelines, integrations, analytics models, data quality efforts — into clear program updates that non-technical stakeholders can act on.
• Manage intake, prioritization, and requirements for data requests coming from across the program.
• Identify and surface risks, dependencies, and blockers across the data workstream and escalate as needed.
• Coordinate with enterprise technology, data platforms, and functional teams on data delivery dependencies.
• Support data release planning and ensure data readiness milestones are met ahead of program releases.
• Partner with the data and analytics team to ensure program commitments are realistic, well-scoped, and achievable.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5 years of experience in program management, project management, or technical delivery roles.
• Experience managing data, analytics, or technology work streams within large cross-functional programs.
• Strong understanding of data and analytics concepts — able to engage credibly with data engineers, analysts, and architects.
• Proven ability to represent technical workstreams to non-technical stakeholders and leadership.
• Experience working within program management offices (PMO) or large enterprise program structures.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills — able to produce clear status updates, decision logs, and escalation summaries.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple work streams and dependencies simultaneously.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in legal operations, legal tech, or corporate legal environments.
• Familiarity with legal spending management, eBilling, outside counsel analytics, or LEDES/UTBMS billing data.
• Experience with data integration programs or data platform delivery.
• Understanding of agile delivery methodologies.
• Experience with program management tools (Jira, Smartsheet, Asana, or similar)
• PMP or similar certification.
