Legal Product Champion

The Role

This role doesn’t sit neatly in a box. It’s part lawyer, part product thinker, part trusted partner to our clients. As a Legal Product Champion, you’ll help midsized law firms adopt August, guide them through change, and show them how AI can be a real competitive edge. You’ll be the lawyer’s voice inside August — translating practice needs into product insights, influencing roadmap priorities, and helping us build tools lawyers actually use.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with firms: Build trust with partners, associates, and innovation teams; advise them on where AI fits into their workflows.
• Drive adoption: Lead pilots, onboarding, and rollouts across practice groups and firms.
• Translate practice into product: Capture lawyer pain points and opportunities, feeding directly into product and engineering conversations.
• Create scalable playbooks: Develop training, resources, and case studies that make adoption smoother across clients.
• Show impact: Help firms measure ROI and highlight wins — from faster drafting to better client service.
• Shape the role: This is a new function at August. You’ll help define what “Legal Product” means here as we scale.

What You Bring

• JD required, with 2–6 years practicing law at a law firm (BigLaw or leading midsized).
• Deep understanding of law firm workflows (litigation or corporate).
• A curiosity about AI and technology and how they can reshape practice.
• Strong communicator: credible with senior partners, relatable to associates, clear with engineers.
• Comfort navigating ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
• A builder’s mindset — proactive, hands-on, and focused on impact over perfection.
