Job Title: Information and Systems Manager

PDT Solicitors is a friendly, dynamic, technology embracing firm. We talk a lot about the PDT Experience and what is means to work for and with PDT. 

​

We reacted to the challenges of the last couple of years by cultivating this PDT Experience to become stronger, more focused, and more flexible, and our ability and enthusiasm to embrace and celebrate the use of technology has been a factor in our recent success.  

​

As part of this process, we implemented a new Content Management System ‘LEAP’ in April 2021, which has provided us with time saving benefits and automated processes to help deliver a better service to our clients. This improvement in technology has also inspired us as a firm to look at ways to fully utilise the system, improve our bank of precedent documents and templates, improve our enquiry process, develop our management reporting and link with our marketing lists and a new CRM system.

​

We are looking for a strategic thinker and problem solver to join PDT to help drive our usage of technology, initially for the development of the LEAP system, and then to look at how we can implement further technology to benefit the firm.

You will work alongside the Marketing Director to become the LEAP champion, working with all departments across the business to understand their requirements, bring together ideas, troubleshoot and find solutions, implement new initiatives and ensure consistency of use throughout the firm. 

​

You will find senior management and Partners supportive and enthusiastic about the usage of technology and the benefits it can bring the firm.
