Requirements

• You move confidently through uncertainty, you operate at speed, and ship solutions that work—iterating quickly with lawyers, sales teams, and product partners to help Harvey and its customers win.
• You bring deep curiosity about AI's potential to transform legal work, a bias toward action, and the creativity to solve problems nobody's cracked yet.
• Based in Toronto and eligible to work in Canada.
• Canadian practising certificate (or equivalent common-law qualification) with 3+ years’ experience as a qualified lawyer at a top-tier firm (e.g., Chambers Band 1 / leading national firm) or in-house at a major corporate or financial institution.
• Deep understanding of Canadian legal workflows (corporate, regulatory, or disputes focus) and curiosity about AI’s role in reshaping them.
• At least 3 years of experience practicing law at a top-tier law firm and/or in-house with strong exposure to complex legal workflows and client expectations.
• Demonstrated ability to exercise sound judgment and make confident, well-reasoned recommendations.
• Ability to operate seamlessly across legal, product, and sales contexts—translating between stakeholders with clarity and precision.
• Executive presence and relationship-building skills, with comfort engaging partners, senior associates, in-house counsel, and legal leadership.

Nice To Haves

• Sales, customer-facing, or law firm business development experience is a plus, particularly where you’ve helped shape solutions rather than just present them.

Responsibilities

• Work directly with lawyers at current and prospective customers to uncover workflow pain points, recommend solutions, and show how Harvey fits into real legal work.
• Serve as the voice of the customer, translating feedback and legal workflow insights into concrete, lawyer-ready product direction.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, sales, and marketing to shape Harvey’s roadmap and ensure the product evolves in ways lawyers trust and adopt.
• Build and refine product demonstrations, workflows, and use cases that reflect how legal teams actually work, including how AI is changing that work.
• Introduce new capabilities in a way that’s tailored, credible, and compelling for each customer, continuously raising the bar for how Harvey is deployed.
