Legal Engineer - Tech

Stott & May is recruiting for a Series B AI startup

About the Company

Our client was founded with a simple thesis: AI is going to fundamentally change how professional services work gets done. They built the world's first truly collaborative AI platform for professional services. The platform is embedded in thousands of professionals' everyday workflows across nearly 20 countries with over 250 enterprise clients, helping them work more efficiently, accurately, and devote more time to complex problem-solving and high-impact, strategic work.

With offices in New York and London, they are on a mission to empower exceptional professionals by unleashing their expertise. Their team of product builders and domain experts ship fast and innovate directly with users and clients.

The Opportunity

This role doesn't fit neatly into a traditional box—it's part solutions architecture, part product innovation, part strategy consultant, and part client success. If you enjoy roles that stay static, this probably isn't it. Your mission is to help enterprise clients, some of the most respected organizations in the world, get the absolute most out of our AI platform.

This is an ideal role for high-performing attorneys, or 'reformed' attorneys from major tech companies (Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, etc.) or MBB consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) who want to be at the forefront of AI transformation in professional services.

What You'll Be Doing

Strategic Partnership: Act as a thought partner to enterprise clients—building trusted relationships, addressing complex operational challenges, and identifying high-value opportunities for them to scale their AI adoption

Client Success Ownership: Work closely with Customer Success teams to take full ownership of client relationships—from running pilots and proof-of-concepts to onboarding new users and ultimately driving full-organization adoption across major enterprises

Product Strategy Influence: Be the voice of the user inside the organization—sharing insights that directly inform product development, roadmap priorities, and strategic direction

Solution Architecture: Design and deliver clear, confident product demonstrations and training sessions that showcase the transformative power of AI for professional workflows

Process Innovation: Document best practices, contribute to the development of scalable implementation playbooks, and help shape how the company grows this function globally

Change Management: Confidently help clients navigate one of the biggest shifts in how professional services operate—from evaluating ROI and impact of AI to clearly mapping how AI will transform different business functions

What You Bring

You come from the world of high-performance environments—whether that's scaling products at major tech companies or solving complex problems at top-tier consulting firms. You've never been content with how things have always been done. You understand how sophisticated organizations think, work, and evolve, and you're ready to help them level up with cutting-edge technology.

Required Qualifications

Background: a JD, or equivelent degree, with 7+ years of experience at a major tech company or MBB consulting

Technical Fluency: Tech-curious and product-savvy. Not necessarily a coder, but passionate about navigating technical conversations, especially around generative AI, technology implementation, and digital transformation

Communication Excellence: Communicate clearly and confidently with diverse stakeholders, from C-suite executives to technical teams. Translating across disciplines is second nature to you

Strategic Thinking: Bring structure to ambiguity and energy to complexity; enjoy being the calm, credible presence in fast-moving environments

Process Optimization: Understand how to evaluate and improve existing processes through technology implementation and change management

Client Management: Proactive, self-directed, and comfortable managing multiple enterprise relationships simultaneously

Execution Focus: Care deeply about quality, but don't get stuck in perfectionism—you get things done and iterate to improve over time

Why This Role

This is a fast-growing company with bold ambitions, so you'll be joining at a time when things are moving quickly—in the best possible way. You'll have significant autonomy, substantial responsibility, and the chance to genuinely shape how AI transforms professional services. Everyone here has a founder mentality.

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary + equity in a high-growth Series B startup
• Opportunity to work with Fortune 500 enterprise clients
• Direct impact on product strategy and company direction
• Fast-track career growth in the AI/technology space
• Global team with offices in New York and London

This is an exceptional opportunity for ambitious professionals from tech or consulting backgrounds to lead the AI transformation of professional services. If building the future of work sounds exciting rather than terrifying, we'd love to hear from you.
