***Salary in the range of $180,000 - $250,000 dependent on location and experience level***

Essential Job Duties:

AI Adoption & Workflow Development
- Lead the design, development, and scaling of AI-enabled legal workflows across business and M&A matters (e.g., due diligence, issue spotting, drafting, deal summaries, and client reporting).
- Partner with attorneys to identify high-value use cases and convert them into repeatable AI workflows, prompts, templates, and playbooks.
- Drive practice-specific AI adoption, ensuring tools are integrated into real attorney workflows-not used in isolation.
- Collaborate with innovation, KM, and technology teams to test, refine, and productize AI use cases for broader rollout.
- Establish best practices for AI usage, including prompt design, validation, quality control, and risk mitigation.
- Track and assess AI adoption, usage, and impact, using data to refine workflows and prioritize future development.
- Serve as a practice-facing AI champion, helping attorneys understand not just how to use tools-but how to rethink how work gets done.
Practice-Focused Knowledge Development
- Collaborate with Business and M&A attorneys to identify, curate, and maintain core knowledge assets, including model agreements, clauses, checklists, deal playbooks, and guidance materials.
- Evolve traditional knowledge assets into AI-ready formats that can power automation and intelligent workflows.
- Identify gaps or inefficiencies and develop next-generation knowledge solutions that combine content and AI.
- Support the lifecycle management of precedents and transactional content to promote consistency and risk mitigation.
- Develop taxonomies and metadata structures that enhance both human and AI-driven discoverability.
Attorney Support & Engagement
- Serve as a primary point of contact for KM and AI workflow-related requests.
- Partner with practice leaders to align KM and AI initiatives with strategic priorities and client needs.
- Capture attorney expertise and translate it into scalable workflows and reusable assets.
- Drive awareness and engagement through targeted communications, demonstrations, and hands-on support.
Knowledge Systems & Tools
- Work with KM and technology teams to evaluate, implement, and improve knowledge and AI platforms.
- Translate legal workflows into usable AI solutions (e.g., prompt libraries, workflow automations, document analysis frameworks).
- Support integration of AI tools into core systems (DMS, intranet, drafting tools).
- Test and refine AI tools to ensure accuracy, usability, and alignment with legal standards.
- Gather and synthesize feedback to continuously improve systems and drive adoption
Training & Practice Enablement
- Develop and deliver AI-forward training programs focused on real workflows and practical applications.
- Create practice-specific guides and "how-to" resources that embed AI into daily work.
- Support onboarding and ongoing enablement to ensure sustained adoption.
- Monitor legal, market, and technology developments and translate them into actionable insights and updated workflows.

Qualifications:

Required
- Juris Doctor from an ABA-accredited law school.
- Admission to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
- 4-6+ years of experience in business, corporate, or M&A law, or in a KM/innovation role.
- Strong ability to translate legal work into structured processes and repeatable workflows.
- Experience collaborating with attorneys and cross-functional teams.

Preferred
- Experience with generative AI tools in a legal context.
- Demonstrated experience developing AI workflows, prompt libraries, or automation solutions.
- Background in legal innovation, KM, or practice transformation initiatives.
- Experience driving technology adoption or behavior change within a law firm.
- Familiarity with data-driven approaches to measuring adoption and impact.

Additional Attributes
- Strong judgment in applying AI responsibly in a legal environment.
