Support the research process, including managing submissions, coordinating interviews, and contributing to analysis in selected categories and indices. Maintain and build relationships with law firms, business development teams and sponsors to support participation in the programme and ensure strong submission numbers, through email, calls and in-person meetings. Work closely with senior team members to manage resourcing, prioritisation and workflow during busy research and reporting periods. Contribute to sponsor events, roundtables and new initiatives. Education : Degree level or above. Experience : Minimum 4 years experience in a similar project co-ordination role.

Job Title: Project Co-ordinator Salary: GBP £35 - £40k Location: City of London We need an experienced project co-ordinator to run our high-profile, client-facing research, editorial and thought-leadership programmes. RSGI is an intelligence and advisory firm, working in the legal industry. It is a dynamic and rapidly growing company, with a 15-strong team working in central London. Responsibilities include managing client programmes and co-ordinating core projects, which involves working closely with RSGI's management, research and editorial teams. In particular, the successful individual needs to be tech-savvy, with experience of handling large amounts of data, working with AI and other technologies, and running projects with many moving parts. Because these projects include multiple annual events, the role also involves some event management, specifically delegate acquisition and management, content creation and client follow-up. One critical programme is the FT Innovative Lawyers reports and awards. Now in its 21st year, it requires intensive management, from the submission process to the delivery of shortlists and content to the FT. The successful candidate will therefore not only deal with internal systems and teams, but should also enjoy working with external clients, helping manage queries and building relationships. Other responsibilities include co-ordinating research projects that involve intensive interview schedules and the marshalling of data, content and insights to produce high-level reports and round-table type events. Overseas travel is included, particularly as it relates to the event co-ordination part of the role. We are looking for an individual who can help improve our systems and processes and who can help us be more effective and productive in an AI-world, so creativity and a willingness to experiment and to grow with the company will be essential. Critical skills include : superb organisational skills, experience of project management systems and methodologies, polished communication skills (verbal, visual and written), fluency in Microsoft Office, including proficiency with Excel. Desirable skills: graphic design and other production skills, experience with Adobe suite, experience running social media and marketing campaigns, experience using HubSpot or other CRM tools, facility with generative AI tools. Key responsibilities: Coordinate the delivery of the FT Innovative Lawyers research and awards programmes across Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, and, from 2027, Brazil, working closely with the Research Director, Editorial Director, internal teams, the Financial Times, and external partners. Manage programme timelines and planning, including setting deadlines, tracking progress, and ensuring research, editorial and events milestones are met. Monitor and coordinate the work of the research team, helping to keep projects on schedule, managing deadlines, and supporting the smooth delivery of each reporting cycle. Act as a central point of contact for the programme, handling enquiries from law firms, in-house teams, sponsors and media partners. Lead the organisation of awards ceremonies, roundtables and related events, working with FT Live and sponsor partners on logistics, materials and event delivery in London, Hong Kong and New York. Prepare and oversee programme materials, including briefing packs, judging documentation, presentations, sponsor materials and event communications. Coordinate judging processes, including preparation of judging packs, scheduling panel sessions, and liaising with judges, sponsors and FT editorial. Support the research process, including managing submissions, coordinating interviews, and contributing to analysis in selected categories and indices. Maintain and build relationships with law firms, business development teams and sponsors to support participation in the programme and ensure strong submission numbers, through email, calls and in-person meetings. Work closely with senior team members to manage resourcing, prioritisation and workflow during busy research and reporting periods. Contribute to sponsor events, roundtables and new initiatives. Education : Degree level or above. Experience : Minimum 4 years experience in a similar project co-ordination role. How to apply: Please provide a CV and a one-page cover letter explaining how your work experience relates to the key responsibilities listed above.
