About The Position

Norm Ai, the agentic law company, has a client base with a combined $30 trillion in assets under management. Norm Ai pioneered Legal Engineering, the process that empowers lawyers to build and supervise domain-specific AI agents with Norm’s proprietary suite of no-code software tools. Norm Ai technology is deployed inside many of the largest and most consequential institutions in the world. Norm Ai is also the technology behind Norm Law, LLP, a separate but affiliated AI-native law firm built for the era of agentic AI.

AI Fluency:
Norm Ai expects all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end.
Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes. We look for practical, hands-on experience, not theoretical familiarity.
This Role
We’re hiring an experienced TA Specialist to own hiring for attorneys across Norm Law. This is a full cycle role, helping identify, engage, and close top legal candidates at all levels. Norm Law is in a period of rapid, intentional growth — we're hiring with urgency and with standards, and those two things have to coexist. The TA Specialist we bring on needs to be someone who can move fast without cutting corners on quality, and who thinks as carefully about how we scale as they do about any individual hire.
You will work directly with law firm leadership and practice group heads to define hiring needs, build out recruiting infrastructure, and develop relationships with passive and active candidates. We’re building something new and looking for someone who knows the legal talent markets and can tell a compelling story about where law is going.
