Department: Business Operations
Location: London
ALM / Law Business Research is a customer‑focused, market‑driven company dedicated to the success of customers with information products and marketing services and events. We deliver premium content to professionals in the legal, finance, real‑estate and insurance industries.
You will sit at the centre of ALM / Law Business Research's strategic agenda, translating ambiguous business questions into clear hypotheses, sharp analyses, and actionable recommendations. Unlike large consulting engagements, you will stay to see your work implemented – and own the outcomes.
The Role Spans Four Interconnected Areas
* Growth & market strategy – identifying and sizing expansion opportunities across segments, geographies, and product categories within our B2B information, events, and digital media portfolio.
* AI and product innovation – defining where AI and data can create differentiated propositions for our customers, working with product and editorial teams to bring ideas to life.
* Strategic partnerships – sourcing, structuring, and developing partnerships that open new distribution, content or technology pathways.
* Pricing, monetisation & commercial strategy – building models and frameworks on subscription economics, pricing architecture, bundling and customer lifetime value to improve commercial performance across the portfolio.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead structured workstreams on the group's most important strategic initiatives, managing scope, analysis, stakeholder coordination and delivery of board‑level recommendations.
* Run market, customer and competitive analyses in B2B information, events and digital media, synthesising findings into crisp insight that changes decisions.
* Develop and stress‑test strategic partnership opportunities – identify partners, define value exchange and support commercial negotiation.
* Build commercially grounded models and frameworks – market sizing, scenario planning, pricing analysis, customer lifetime value.
* Support the CSO in preparing materials for the executive team, board, and investors – translating complex analysis into concise narratives and clear recommendations.
* Partner with business unit leaders to convert strategy into execution plans with measurable milestones and KPIs, tracking progress as conditions evolve.
* Contribute to building LBR/ALM's internal strategy capability – playbooks, analytical templates and repeatable frameworks that raise the bar across the organisation.
What Makes This Role Distinctive
* Direct access and influence – work alongside the CSO day‑to‑day with clear line‑of‑sight to executive and board priorities from the outset.
* Own the outcome, not just the slide – stay to see recommendations implemented and models tested against reality.
* A genuinely interesting strategic moment – post‑merger portfolio integration, AI‑enabled proposition building and a live M&A and partnerships pipeline across an international B2B platform.
* Material scope quickly – own significant workstreams rather than small slices of large projects, stretched across strategy, commercial analysis and execution.
* A culture that values thinking and doing equally – analytical rigor is expected, but so is bias to action; we are not a slide‑ware culture.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
* 5–10 years of total experience, with a meaningful portion in strategy consulting, specialist commercial due diligence or a high‑calibre in‑house strategy function.
* Experience at a specialist strategy or sector‑focused consultancy is particularly valued.
* Track record of project‑managing complex workstreams end‑to‑end – structuring the problem, driving analysis, aligning stakeholders and landing recommendations at C‑suite or board level.
* Direct experience in or adjacent to one or more: subscription and recurring revenue models, B2B information or data businesses, digital media or technology‑enabled services.
* Comfort working with imperfect data to produce directionally sound, timely insight – ‘good and fast’ often beats ‘perfect and late.’
* Some exposure to partnership development, commercial structuring or investor‑grade business planning is a plus.
Skills & Attributes
* Structured problem‑solver – decompose complex, ambiguous questions into clear workplans and testable hypotheses while keeping the commercial question at focus.
* Commercially instinctive – understand what drives value in information and media businesses and can identify levers that move the needle.
* Strong, precise communicator – build trust quickly with senior stakeholders and present nuanced findings that drive decisions.
* Collaborative and low‑ego – comfortable operating as a trusted thought partner to business leaders and functional specialists, and willing to roll up sleeves when needed.
* Growth mindset – motivated by learning, rapid iteration and building something rather than advising from the outside.
