highly strategic, client-facing role at the intersection of law,

someone who can walk into a major strategic account and quickly
establish trust, demonstrate expertise, and help shape a client’s
AI strategy. You may have started your career in private practice
before moving into legal innovation, legal operations, legal
technology, consulting, or a senior client-facing role. You may
also come from a legal-sector SaaS or advisory background where you
have helped larger organisations navigate transformation and
adoption. Most importantly, you will bring the credibility,
commercial judgment, and stakeholder presence to operate
effectively with senior decision-makers across the legal
market.
