What you'll do
- Join account executives in meetings with partners and legal innovation leaders at large firms.
- Lead consultative conversations and tailored product demonstrations grounded in everyday legal workflows.

- Serve as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, guiding adoption from initial trial through full rollout.
- Share customer insights with product and sales teams to inform offerings and go-to-market plans.

- Contribute content and customer success stories with marketing.
- Stay current on AI and legal technology trends and share expertise inside and outside the company.

- Experience at an AmLaw 250 firm, or at a large technology company.
