Legal Engineer, Paris

Harvey Harvey · AI Frontier · Paris, France · Go to Market

This role is for a Legal Engineer in Paris who will act as a consultative advisor to legal professionals, demonstrating how Harvey's AI solutions can enhance their workflows and make them more effective. The role involves engaging with customers, understanding their challenges, leading product demonstrations, and partnering with marketing and sales teams. While the company builds AI solutions, this specific role focuses on customer-facing product demonstration and sales support, not direct AI/ML development.

What you'd actually do

  1. Engage with English- and French-speaking lawyers at existing and prospective customers to understand their workflow challenges, strategic objectives, and broader firm context — then demonstrate how Harvey’s AI solutions can address them.
  2. Establish yourself as a credible expert in solving customers’ specific legal problems (e.g. researching public and private databases for certain types of information, drafting and analyzing contractual provisions and whole documents, analyzing briefs and filings, corporate governance, conducting due diligence).
  3. Lead product demonstrations tailored to the context of various law firm practice groups and in-house legal teams, asking questions to validate how Harvey can add value and then showcasing Harvey’s features and benefits relevant to each prospective client’s potential use cases.
  4. Partner with the marketing team to develop content that will resonate with lawyers, tailored to the unique needs of their practice areas and client types.
  5. Act as the “Voice of the Customer,” using your legal perspective to help the broader sales team to develop and implement more effective strategies and synthesize customer feedback for the product team through a legal lens.
