Vice President of Sales Strategy (Am Law)

Filevine is a Legal AI company delivering Legal Operating Intelligence for the future of legal work. Grounded in a singular system of truth, Filevine brings together data, documents, workflows, and teams into one unified platform—where modern legal work happens with clarity and consistency.

Powered by LOIS, the Legal Operating Intelligence System, Filevine connects context across every matter to transform legal operations from reactive to proactive. LOIS reads, understands, and reasons across your data to surface insight, automate complexity, and give professionals the clarity and confidence to see more, know more, and do more. Fueled by a team of exceptional collaborators and innovators, Filevine’s rapid growth has earned AI awards and recognition from Deloitte and Inc. as one of the most innovative and fastest-growing technology companies in the country.

About The Role

Filevine is expanding in New York, and we need a strategic leader who understands the nuance of the city’s top law firms. This is ideal for a former attorney who wants to move away from traditional practice and focus on relationship-building, market strategy, and growth. You’ll connect us with decision-makers at major firms, build out a network of trusted advisors, and pave the way to build a regional team down the line.

Core Responsibilities

• Shape the NY Strategy: Build and execute our go-to-market plan for the New York market, setting long-term goals for growth across BigLaw, AmLaw, NLJ 500, and large general-practice firms.
• Cultivate High-Impact Relationships: Develop a strong network of referral partners, consultants, and advisors whose introductions give Filevine a seat at the table. Your connections and industry standing will be the primary engine driving our presence forward.
• Create & Expand Opportunities: Identify key enterprise opportunities, land initial footholds in practice groups or regional offices, and build the relationships needed to expand across entire firms over time.
• Maintain Deal Momentum: Partner closely with our Strategic Accounts team, keeping executive relationships warm and aligned as opportunities progress toward close. (This role focuses on relationship leadership and vision, leaving technical demos and redlines to dedicated account executives.)
• Build and Lead the Local Team: As the New York motion gains traction, you will hire, mentor, and structure a dedicated team of sellers and relationship managers to scale our regional footprint.
• Represent the New York Market: Work side-by-side with internal sales, marketing, product, and customer success teams to serve as the voice of New York’s legal community within Filevine.

What You’ll Need To Succeed

• Legal Background: 10+ years as an attorney, partner or managing partner inside an AmLaw, BigLaw, or comparable large firm setting.
• Established Local Network: Strong existing relationships in and around the New York legal market, along with the credibility to continuously broaden your reach.
• Hands-On Leadership Style: Comfort rolling up your sleeves to personally drive early strategy and relationship-building before building and managing a larger team.
• JD (Juris Doctor) required
• Location: Based in or near New York City.

Nice To Have

• Prior business development, sales, or partnership experience in legal tech or professional services.
• A strong grasp of modern legal technology and the operational dynamics of large law firms.
• Proven experience hiring, coaching, or leading client-facing teams.

Work Location Expectation

Unless otherwise specified, this position is based out of our San Francisco, Chicago, Salt Lake City or New York offices. Candidates residing in or near these metro areas are expected to work on a hybrid (2-3 days in-office/week) or fully onsite basis.

Cool Company Benefits

• A dynamic, rapidly growing company, focused on helping organizations thrive
• Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance (for full-time employees)
• Competitive & Fair Pay
• Maternity & paternity leave (for full-time employees)
• Short & long-term disability
• Opportunity to learn from a dedicated leadership team
• Top-of-the-line company swag
