Applied AI Solutions Analyst

About the role

McDermott Will & Schulte LLP is building a purpose-built AI capability inside the firm: intelligent applications, agentic workflows, and deep integrations that are transforming how our attorneys and staff professionals work and how we serve clients.

• Design and build AI solutions using state-of-the-art AI foundation platforms — from conversational tools to full document automation
• Orchestrate agentic workflows that autonomously handle multi-step legal and business processes via integration frameworks and APIs
• Use prompting to engineer bespoke applications and solutions with high-quality output
• Integrate AI solutions with M365 applications, Enterprise Data Warehouse, the firm's Document Management System and other enterprise applications
• Run iterative feedback loops with stakeholders; validate solution designs and maintain clear documentation throughout delivery
• Monitor the LLM landscape and bring actionable AI innovations back to the team
