- Change Management & Adoption: Lead enablement, training, and communications to drive stakeholder buy-in and sustain new ways of working.
- Go-to-Market Partnership: Collaborate with pre-sales/sales on discovery, value cases, and scoping; shape Statements of Work and identify advisory revenue opportunities.
- Product & Partner Feedback Loop: Provide structured input to product leadership on enhancements; cultivate partner relationships to extend solution value.
- Thought Leadership: Develop client-ready artifacts (playbooks, white papers, conference presentations) that codify best practices and market insights.
Required Skills:
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Legal Studies, or related field; advanced degree (MBA/JD) a plus.
- 7+ years in legal operations, consulting, or business process improvement within a corporate legal department, law firm, or legal tech provider.
- Proven success implementing and optimizing ELM/e-billing, matter management, CLM, and legal tech; strong understanding of integrations and data flows.
- Demonstrated ability to analyze complex operational and financial data, define KPIs, and translate insights into clear recommendations and roadmaps.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills—comfortable with attorneys, operations leaders, finance/procurement, IT, and executives.
- Strong project/program management skills across discovery, design, implementation, and change management; adept at balancing multiple priorities.
- Business acumen to align legal strategies with enterprise goals and build value/ROI cases.
