You'll also bring:

  • A strong understanding of how corporate legal departments operate and the challenges they face.

  • Practical experience using generative AI tools and an appreciation of how AI can improve legal workflows.

  • Confidence discussing AI opportunities, governance, adoption, and risk with both legal and business stakeholders.

  • Experience engaging with General Counsel, Chief Legal Officers, Legal Operations leaders, and other senior decision-makers.

  • Excellent communication, presentation, facilitation, and consultative problem-solving skills.

  • The ability to travel approximately 50% to support customers and business needs.
