• Decompose complex legal processes into discrete, measurable tasks executable by AI.
• Re-engineer existing manual legal workflows for AI-first execution, identifying optimal AI integration points and human judgment roles.
• Translate tacit legal knowledge into structured artefacts like prompts, schemas, and decision trees for AI systems.
• Own prompt engineering standards, schema specifications, and quality assurance protocols for AI outputs.
• Curate exemplar matters and precedents into reference packs to improve AI outputs.
• Design evaluation frameworks to rigorously measure AI tool performance.
• Track AI tool performance using data to drive iteration and make recommendations.
• Contribute to the strategic direction and roadmap of the Applied AI Lab.
• Identify high-impact use cases and drive adoption of AI-powered solutions.
• Act as a bridge between legal practice, technology, and product disciplines.
• Support the Applied AI Lab's needs, contributing beyond formal job description.
• Collaborate with lawyers, technologists, and external partners to identify and shape AI use cases.
• Ensure AI solutions are grounded in practice needs and integrated into existing workflows.
• Communicate clearly with diverse stakeholders, including partners, product engineers, and clients.
• Handle sensitive and confidential information with rigor and discretion.
• Stay informed about developments in generative AI, large language models, and prompt engineering techniques.
• Maintain an informed perspective on how legal teams work and where AI fits.
• Travel domestically and internationally as needed for global projects.

Requirements

• At least three years of experience in legal practice, legal technology, management consulting, or a technical role supporting legal or professional services workflows.
• Demonstrated experience in experimenting with new AI tools and engaging in technical conversations about prompts, schemas, and model behavior.
• Strong ability to transform ambiguous processes into structured, repeatable, and measurable systems.
• Ability to translate between legal and engineering perspectives.
• Solid understanding of how legal teams operate across different practice areas.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Proven ability to be proactive and self-directed in a fast-paced, experimental environment.
