AI in this role
Support sales strategy by acting as a legal engineer demonstrating AI solutions to law firms and enterprise clients.
At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.
This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. We have strong product-market fit and world-class investor support. We’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.
Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.
At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.
Role OverviewHarvey’s Legal Engineers are skilled lawyers from top-tier law firms who apply their legal experience to ensure that current and prospective customers understand how Harvey’s solutions enhance specific day-to-day workflows, working alongside Harvey’s Account Executives to support all aspects of our sales strategy. Legal Engineers build consultative relationships with law firm partners and associates and in-house attorneys at private equity firms and Fortune 500 companies, becoming trusted advisors on how Harvey’s AI solutions can make them more effective.
Similar to how Solutions Architects secure the “technical win” in the sales process, Legal Engineers secure the “legal win” by performing in-depth customer discovery and education on Harvey’s solutions through targeted meetings and demos that resonate with the customer’s day-to-day workflows specific to their legal practice area.
Legal Engineers utilize their experience practicing law and their legal mindset to ask thoughtful questions to understand the needs of law firm and in-house attorneys, develop credibility, and then partner with Account Executives to educate them on Harvey’s value via large and small group sessions as well as one-to-one conversations.
What You’ll DoEngage with English- and German-speaking lawyers at existing and prospective customers to understand their workflow challenges, strategic objectives, and broader firm context — then demonstrate how Harvey’s AI solutions can address them.
Establish yourself as a credible expert in solving customers’ specific legal problems (e.g. researching public and private databases for certain types of information, drafting and analyzing contractual provisions and whole documents, analyzing briefs and filings, corporate governance, conducting due diligence).
Lead product demonstrations tailored to the context of various law firm practice groups and in-house legal teams, asking questions to validate how Harvey can add value and then showcasing Harvey’s features and benefits relevant to each prospective client’s potential use cases.
Partner with the marketing team to develop content that will resonate with lawyers, tailored to the unique needs of their practice areas and client types.
Act as the “Voice of the Customer,” using your legal perspective to help the broader sales team to develop and implement more effective strategies and synthesize customer feedback for the product team through a legal lens.
Tailor the introduction of new solutions to specific customer needs.
Further the market perception of Harvey as uniquely credible, substantive, and helpful in applying its AI solutions to make lawyers better at their jobs.
Conduct research and analysis on customers and competitors.
JD or equivalent legal qualification.
Fluent in German and English.
At least 3 years of experience practicing law at a top-tier law firm (Vault 50 or equivalent), preferably with a transactional, in-house or transformation experience.
Executive engagement skills and presence, with an ability to establish strong relationships with key decision makers and build credibility at all levels.
Outstanding presentation skills to both legal and executive audiences, whether impromptu on a whiteboard or using presentations and demos.
Strong understanding of legal processes and challenges faced by legal professionals.
Curiosity about AI’s potential to transform the legal industry.
Sales or customer-facing experience, including law firm business development and/or secondment, is a plus, as is experience directly managing law firm client matters and client relationships.
