Position Summary

We recognize that a leading bottleneck for innovation in law firms is the struggle to get busy partners and associates engaged with tech and process investments. We are not immune as we have invested in dozens of progressive teams and programs across Reed Smith which can become complex for partners to keep up with and know exactly how and when to best engage them. Additionally, partners have established ways of working that have served them well over time, but may not be optimized for market conditions, client priorities, or cost models.

The Lab turns these issues on their head. Using the firm’s strategic priorities as its North Star and human centered design as its driving methodology, the Lab works with legal practices, client teams, and our business services teams to study them, identify improvements, and establish new ways of working for the future. However, never in isolation as the Lab seeks to bring our clients and all functions of the firm to the table. By doing so, the Lab brings the
collective knowledge and innovative tech and services of the firm (or identifies capabilities the firm does not yet provide) to the situation in the best ways possible. The work of the Lab is not only to find, understand, and solve problems, but also to build coalitions and stakeholder buy-in so that what we build becomes the firm’s new DNA. Fresh thinking, complete engagement, and high impact.

As a member of the newly formed Lab, you will be able to contribute your unique skillset to develop methods and lead engagements grounded in design thinking, anthropology, technology innovation, user research, qualitative analysis, and storytelling. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading human-centered design projects driven by qualitative and ethnographic research, managing team member performance, and interfacing with the firm at large to engage our attorneys and professional staff with the innovation function. Initial focus for the role will be bringing the Lab’s capabilities to contribute to ongoing internal business process initiatives. If you are excited about being a part of a new and innovative team and contributing to its success, we encourage you to apply.
