Strategy & Operations Associate

Job description

About Us

Fideres delivers effective economic analysis and testimony, turning data into courtroom advantage. As global litigation experts, we help law firms secure new cases and offer unbiased, conflict-free insights for complex and innovative disputes. Driven by rigorous analysis, we empower justice—for all—from case strategy to victory.

By dedicating ourselves solely to litigation-based economic analysis, we can provide truly unbiased assessments and maintain our commitment to objectivity.

Our Competition litigation consulting team has provided expert opinions on major antitrust legal actions against Big Tech (including Apple, Amazon and Facebook), Big Pharma, Big Finance and Big Agriculture. Meanwhile our original and innovative investigations into river sewage and Covid-19 have led to national press coverage.

Our Financial and Securities Litigation team has worked on many of the most significant global cases involving securities fraud, market manipulation and financial cartels of the past decade, contributing expert opinions, and advising global law firms, institutional investors and regulators.

We operate across the US, UK, and EU, through four fully staffed offices with a team of around 70 professionals.

About this Role

We are looking for a Strategy & Operations Associate to join us at an exciting point in our growth. This is a new, London-based role reporting to our Business Manager and working directly with the Chief Operating Officer and the wider executive team.

Fideres is scaling quickly, expanding internationally and diversifying how we win and deliver work. As we grow, we need dedicated capacity to run the business day to day and to think clearly about where it is going next. This role does both. You will take ownership of core operational, reporting and process-improvement work, and you will help the COO and Business Manager structure, pressure-test and move forward the strategic questions that shape the firm’s future.

It is a genuinely broad, generalist role with real exposure to senior decision-making. Early on, the balance will lean towards operational delivery and reporting; as you build knowledge of the business and earn trust, the strategic element will grow. We are looking for someone comfortable moving between the two, and equally happy rolling up their sleeves on the administrative and coordination work that keeps a fast-growing firm running.

Key Accountabilities

Working closely with the Business Manager and the COO, your responsibilities will span three connected workstreams: keeping the business running well, helping us think about where it goes next, and making sure things get done across both.

Operations & Performance

• Performance reporting and dashboards: build and maintain management reporting and dashboards that track performance against targets across the business, turning data into a clear picture for the executive team.

• Operational delivery: take ownership of recurring operational and reporting cycles, freeing up the Business Manager and COO to focus on higher-value work.

• Process improvement: work with business unit heads and department heads to understand, document and improve their processes and systems, helping each function work more efficiently as we scale.

Strategy & Planning

• Strategic analysis and planning: help the COO and executive team vet new business plans and ideas; structuring the thinking, building business cases and options analysis, and laying out clear plans that senior leadership can review, steer and progress.

• Board and partner materials: prepare clear, well-structured papers and analysis to support decision-making by the COO, executive team and founding partners.

• Research and market insight: carry out competitor, market and internal research to inform strategic and operational decisions.

Delivery & Coordination

• Project management: coordinate and drive forward cross-functional strategic initiatives, keeping them moving between the demands of day-to-day business.

• General coordination and administration: provide hands-on support across a range of business activities as required. This is a growing firm and a broad role, and the successful candidate will be comfortable turning their hand to administrative and coordination tasks alongside the analytical work.

Key Skills, Personal Attributes & Behaviours

The successful candidate will have:

• Experience: around 3-5 years of relevant experience, ideally including a period in management consulting or a comparable analytical, strategic or operational environment.

• Education: a strong academic background. An MBA is welcome but not essential; we are more interested in judgement, analytical ability and initiative than in any particular qualification.

• Analytical and structured thinking: the ability to take an ambiguous problem or a rough idea and structure it into a clear, well-reasoned plan that others can act on.

• Commercial and financial acumen: comfort working with fina
