The Role

You are a JD who thinks in systems. You understand the visceral pain of document review because you have done it, but unlike most lawyers, you are obsessed with efficiency and logic. You are the "power user" who always found a faster way to get the work done. You will wear three hats:

  • Commercial Authority: Partner with Account Executives to close major deals. Establish credibility with Managing Partners and General Counsels.
  • Workflow Architect: Translate legal complexity into logical product flows. Define the step-by-step reasoning logic our AI must follow to satisfy a senior associate.
  • Evaluation Leader: Lead and organize our internal team of legal specialists (nurses, paralegals, and reviewers) to test, grade, and validate the AI's output, ensuring our quality standards never slip.

Fluency Stack Legal

Deep experience in complex litigation, civil procedure, and the mechanics of defense law firms.

Systems Thinking

You are highly tech-savvy and organized. You can map out a complex legal decision tree on a whiteboard better than most Product Managers.

Leadership

Experience managing or directing the work of paralegals, nurse consultants, or junior associates.

Commercial

Ability to navigate high-stakes meetings with Managing Partners and explain technology without jargon.
