  • Leading senior-level discovery and structured workflow analysis to diagnose challenges, map decision makers / champions, and identify value levers, inefficiencies, and measurable ROI opportunities.


  • Translating legal workflows into clear, commercially compelling use cases and solution strategies, aligned to practice areas and firm strategic objectives.


  • Designing and delivering tailored, insight-led demonstrations and high-impact presentations that connect workflow insight, product capability, and commercial outcomes across 1:1, small group, and large group settings.

  • Have experience establishing credibility with partners, firm leadership, and senior in-house counsel through strong executive presence, legal expertise, and AI fluency.


  • Be able to deliver persuasive, insight-led presentations and demonstrations that engage both legal and business stakeholders (including impromptu whiteboard-style and formal presentations/demos).


  • Demonstrate a deep understanding of legal workflows, legal service delivery models, and emerging legal technology trends - able to translate this into tailored, workflow-specific value narratives.


  • Demonstrate curiosity, intellectual enthusiasm, and conviction about how AI and legal technology can transform legal workflows and client delivery.


  • Be able to collaborate effectively across teams (sales, marketing, product, client success) to deliver unified client engagement strategies.
