A major international law firm is seeking a resource manager to assist one of their practice groups. The successful candidate will work closely with partners, fee earners, and support staff, and must have a proven track record of building strong relationships.

• Building strong relationships with the practice group and optimizing work allocation
• Proactively anticipating and recognizing resourcing needs
• Monitoring resource needs and identifying times of increased or decreased busyness
• Attending weekly management meetings
• Understanding individual skillsets and identifying training needs
• Monitoring chargeable hours and providing feedback to partners
