Job description

Technology Enablement Partner - Legal Technology, AI & Automation

London | Hybrid working

I'm working with a leading UK law firm looking to appoint a Technology Enablement Partner to join its growing Technology function. This is a senior, business-facing role that will act as a key bridge between Technology, the firm's legal practice groups and its business services teams. The successful candidate will work closely with stakeholders across the firm to understand their priorities, identify opportunities and shape practical solutions using technology, AI and automation.

Key responsibilities:

• Building trusted relationships with legal practice groups and business teams
• Identifying where technology, AI and automation could improve business outcomes
• Translating business challenges into clear solution options and recommendations
• Helping teams maximise the value of existing technology
• Assessing new requests and determining the appropriate delivery route
• Working closely with Change, Business Analysis and Technology colleagues
• Supporting solutions through delivery, adoption and value realisation
• Contributing to the firm's wider technology and innovation community

This is not a hands-on development role. However, you will need sufficient technical understanding to discuss solutions credibly, recognise what is possible and translate effectively between business stakeholders and technical specialists.

The ideal candidate will bring:

• Experience in technology business partnering, legal innovation, digital transformation, product or solutions-focused roles
• Strong stakeholder-management, communication and influencing skills
• Experience identifying business problems and shaping technology-enabled solutions
• An understanding of AI, automation, low-code/no-code tools or emerging technology
• The ability to operate effectively between business and technical teams
• A pragmatic, collaborative and commercially focused approach
• Experience within a law firm or wider professional-services environment would be advantageous but is not essential

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing function and play a visible role in helping the firm turn ideas into practical, valuable outcomes.
