Your day-to-day will include:
- Acting as a legal subject matter expert on the workflows of in-house legal work, contributing actively to the product development lifecycle.
- Translating complex legal and business problems into actionable insights and becoming a trusted advisor and authority to clients.
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including AI engineers, product specialists, and client engagement teams, to enhance client experiences and drive platform improvements.
- Preparing and delivering tailored insights, client presentations, and in-depth analyses of regulatory frameworks.
- Engaging in strategic initiatives to elevate our brand, crafting metrics-driven content that reinforces our mission and impact.
You'll be a great fit if:
- A J.D. from a top 25 law school and 3-10 years of experience spread across private practice and in-house work
- Extensive knowledge of in-house workflows and the challenges facing technology lawyers
- A proven background and confidence in dealing with CxO stakeholders
- A passion for technology and artificial intelligence, with a strong desire to use your experience to bridge the gap between law and technology
- Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage diverse stakeholders.
- A technical background would be helpful, but it is not needed to succeed.
