Job description

Why Harvey

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.

This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. We have strong product-market fit and world-class investor support. We’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

Role Overview

As Head of Legal Engineering, APAC, you will lead Harvey’s pre-sales and post-sales Legal Engineering organisation across Asia-Pacific, with teams in Sydney, Singapore, Seoul, and Tokyo.

You will manage the leaders who run each market, set how we operate across the region, and serve as a senior face of Harvey with the region’s leading law firms and in-house legal teams. This role exists to build a high-performing, commercially impactful APAC legal engineering function that drives pilots, adoption, and expansion with our most important regional customers and prospects.

You will partner closely with regional Sales, Customer Success, and Product leadership to shape how we bring Harvey to market across very different legal systems and business cultures. It is a senior manager-of-managers role for someone who is equally comfortable in front of partners and GCs, internal executives, and a distributed team of managers and legal engineers.

What you will do

• Lead, coach, and develop the managers and market leaders who each own their own Legal Engineering teams across APAC, spanning both pre- and post-sales.
• Own Legal Engineering performance for the region end to end, from pilot design and quality through conversion, adoption, and expansion.
• Build and scale the APAC Legal Engineering organization as we enter new markets and deepen existing relationships.
• Build and maintain relationships with senior stakeholders at the region’s top law firms and legal teams, and represent Harvey at key industry and client events.
• Partner closely with regional Sales, Customer Success, and Product leadership to set priorities, shape our go-to-market approach, and adapt our playbooks to each market.
• Establish regional operating rhythms (forecasting, QBRs, pipeline and adoption reviews) that your managers use to run their businesses and continuously raise the bar on quality and impact.

What you will bring

• A legal qualification and extensive senior experience (typically 12+ years) at a leading law firm, in-house team, or legal technology company.
• Proven experience leading people managers and multi-country teams, with a track record of building and scaling high-performing organizations.
• Credibility with senior stakeholders in the APAC legal community, including partners, GCs, and C‑suite leaders.
• Hands-on leadership of a legal technology or AI rollout, ideally across multiple jurisdictions or business units.
• Strong commercial acumen and familiarity with complex, high-touch B2B sales or pre-sales motions.
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, with the judgment to balance commercial, product, and legal considerations at a regional level.
