You will engage with senior stakeholders—including Partners, General Counsel, Legal Operations, Innovation, Knowledge Management, and Technology teams—to solve complex business challenges through legal technology.

Key Responsibilities

• Facilitate discovery workshops to analyse current legal workflows, identify challenges, and uncover opportunities for AI-driven improvements.
• Design, configure, and implement AI-enabled workflows that align with each customer's operational and business goals.

• Experience working with complex legal workflows across transactional, contentious, or advisory matters.
• Excellent consulting, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills, with confidence engaging senior legal professionals.
• A genuine passion for legal technology, AI, and transforming legal service delivery.
• Strong relationship-building, communication, and change management skills, with the ability to influence a broad range of stakeholders.

They drive meaningful adoption, deliver measurable business improvements, build lasting relationships with senior stakeholders, and provide valuable customer insights that influence future product development.
