Job description

WHY OMNILEX?

At Omnilex, we’re on a mission to transform the way lawyers work. Our AI-native platform lets legal professionals enhance their productivity in legal research and automate workflows. We collaborate closely with our clients and iterate at a market-leading pace. In a year, we have gone from an early MVP to a product used daily by thousands of legal professionals at our clients in Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein - and are now scaling rapidly across Europe.

You’ll be joining a young, passionate and dynamic team of 15, with roots at ETH Zurich.

Joining Omnilex at this early stage, you will have a large responsibility from day one with unlimited potential to grow personally and professionally together with the team.

YOUR ROLE

• At Omnilex, you are the person who turns a cautious law firm into a firm-wide rollout
• You will own the success of our most important accounts from first test to full deployment by sitting deep inside their workflows, understanding what they actually need, and making sure Omnilex delivers it
• You are the connective tissue between practicing lawyers and our engineering team. What you hear in client sessions shapes what we build next
• This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who wants to own outcomes, not just manage relationships

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Turn key accounts into firm-wide rollouts
• Own the testing and rollout process at our most strategic accounts in French-speaking Switzerland
• Consult law firms on how to integrate Omnilex into their actual workflows
• Identify what is blocking adoption and remove those blockers, one by one
• Be the person inside the firm that champions the rollout from pilot to full deployment
• Translate legal practice into product direction
• Capture what lawyers struggle with, what they ask for, and what they work around
• Bring structured, prioritized feedback directly into the product roadmap
• Sync regularly with engineering to explain the legal context behind every request
• Spot patterns across accounts. If three firms hit the same wall, that’s a product problem
• Be the expert in the room
• Run working sessions with lawyers to demonstrate how Omnilex fits their specific practice
• Explain new features in legal terms, not technical ones. That can be in form of written materials, webinars and other

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Key accounts that started with a pilot are running Omnilex firm-wide
• The product roadmap reflects real, validated needs from practicing lawyers
• Engineering knows exactly why something matters legally because you told them
• Law firms see you as a trusted advisor, not a vendor contact

WHO YOU ARE

• You have a legal background: Law degree or equivalent time working inside a law firm or legal department
• You understand how decisions get made inside law firms and how to navigate that
• You are equally comfortable in a client meeting and a product sync with engineers
• You take ownership of outcomes, not just activities
• You are structured, persistent, and know how to move a slow-moving institution forward
• You communicate with precision. Lawyers and engineers both trust what you say
• Fluency in French and English. Swiss work permit or EU/EFTA citizenship

Bonus:

• Experience in LegalTech, AI SaaS

WHY JOIN OMNILEX

• Own the rollout of a legal AI platform at the firms that will define how the industry adopts AI
• Work directly with the engineers and fundamentally shape the product
• Early-stage equity with meaningful upside and flexible work setup
