Senior Jury Consultants lead complex jury consulting engagements and serve as a trusted strategic partner to clients. They apply social science research, behavioral insight, and knowledge of the civil litigation process to help legal teams assess how potential jurors may view a case and make informed decisions before and during trial.

This is a senior opportunity for an experienced jury consultant who can lead research from initial client discussions through final recommendations. In addition to conducting and analyzing research, the Senior Jury Consultant manages client communication, organizes and leads focus group teams, and helps translate findings into case strategy.

Compared with the Jury Consultant role, the Senior Jury Consultant has greater responsibility for leading engagements and coordinating the work around them. The Senior Consultant is expected to lead focus group research and the on-site team, manage client communication from intake through delivery, and provide strategic recommendations based on research findings. The role calls for at least five years of jury consulting experience and the ability to take the lead on client-facing work.
