About The Position

Lennar is investing in the future of its Legal organization, and the Director of Legal Technology will play a critical role in shaping what comes next. This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for a strategic, technology-forward operator who can help transform Legal into an AI-native, streamlined, and data-driven function. Reporting to and partnering closely with the VP of Legal & Compliance Operations, the Director will help define how Legal operates, prioritizes work, leverages technology, and delivers value to the broader business.

Demonstrated experience owning business requirements and adoption for a multi-platform legal technology environment (CLM, matter management/eBilling, or comparable).
Experience leading the business side of CLM implementations (e.g., Ironclad, Conga, Icertis, ContractPodAi) — requirements definition, workflow design, UAT, training, and adoption.
Experience defining governance, evaluation criteria, and use-case prioritization for AI-assisted legal workflows, partnering closely with technical/AI teams on execution.
Strong process design and business analysis skills; comfortable reading data/reporting outputs and translating them into decisions, without requiring hands-on SQL or scripting.
Systems thinking at a portfolio level: able to connect legal business strategy to a coherent operating model across systems.

Comfort with ambiguity and change; able to bring structure and focus to evolving environments.
