Analyst - Regulatory Legal (NE)

Job Purpose

The Analyst is responsible for designing, coordinating, and executing regulatory workflows across the New England legal team, including filings, discovery, and docket management. The role owns how this work is delivered through structured workflows, digital tools, and AI-enabled processes.

This role combines production execution with design and ownership of regulatory workflows, ensuring work is delivered accurately, efficiently, and at scale. It is central to enabling a modern, digitally supported delivery model for the legal function, allowing attorneys to focus on legal judgment and advocacy.
