Responsibilities

• Partner with attorneys and operational leaders to surface workflow pain points and translate them into AI use cases
• Design and build AI solutions using state-of-the-art AI foundation platforms — from conversational tools to full document automation
• Orchestrate agentic workflows that autonomously handle multi-step legal and business processes via integration frameworks and APIs
• Use prompting to engineer bespoke applications and solutions with high-quality output
• Integrate AI solutions with M365 applications, Enterprise Data Warehouse, the firm's Document Management System and other enterprise applications
