The position offers a hybrid work model across Taunton, Yeovil, or Exeter, with benefits including private healthcare, 25 days holiday, and flexible working.

At Porter Dodson, we're investing in a new and exciting capability within our Marketing & Business Development team and have an opportunity for a business development data analyst to work on a hybrid basis in either our Taunton, Yeovil or Exeter office on a full time, permanent basis.

We're looking for a curious, analytical and commercially minded individual who loves working with data, uncovering insights and helping shape business decisions.

  • Provide meaningful intelligence to support decision-making across the firm.
  • Help identify new ways to use technology, data and AI to improve business development activity.

We’re interested in hearing from candidates who enjoy solving problems, finding answers in data and helping others make informed decisions and have a real interest in the legal sector.

  • Highly analytical and naturally curious.
  • Data-driven and comfortable working with large datasets.
  • Technology confident with strong systems capability.
  • Comfortable working independently and investigating opportunities.
  • Research-focused rather than sales-focused.
  • Enthusiastic about understanding how data can drive commercial success.
  • Able to communicate findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proactive and willing to explore new tools and technologies.

  • Data analysis or business intelligence.
