Information Manager Benelux

The role

Do you want to shape how a leading international law firm finds, uses and shares information, while staying close to the legal work itself? This role offers both.

As Information Manager for Amsterdam, you'll deliver legal research, current awareness and specialist information services to our lawyers and business professionals. As Information Manager for the Benelux, you'll lead the regional information function. You'll guide our Benelux Information Professionals, manage budgets and supplier relationships, and keep a consistent, high-quality service in line with our global and regional strategy.

Reporting to the Information Management Lead, you'll work with partners, knowledge lawyers, PSLs and colleagues across Risk, IT, Client & Market Development, Thought Leadership and our AI teams. AI is changing how legal information is found and used, and you'll help decide how our information services evolve with it.
