• Demonstrated experience owning complex, cross‑functional programs from strategy execution through launch, adoption, measurement, and continuous improvement
• Experience using operational, adoption, and performance data to evaluate outcomes, set priorities, and communicate executive‑ready recommendations
• Experience working within or closely supporting a corporate legal department, law firm, legal‑services organization, or other highly regulated professional environment

What we’ll look for:

• Experience with Power Automate, Power Apps, Copilot Studio, Airtable, Jira, or comparable platforms
• Solid facilitation, presentation, and written‑communication skills, including the ability to make complex AI and technology concepts practical and accessible to attorneys, legal professionals, and senior leaders
