About the role

We are seeking a Senior Legal AI Manager to lead the adoption and ongoing product management of Harvey AI and future legal technology across the firm. Working directly with legal practices and champion groups, you will support the Head of Legal Technology and Transformation to position Clayton Utz at the forefront of AI-enabled legal service delivery in the Australian market by creating scalable, practice-specific AI assets that drive measurable value for lawyers and clients alike. This is a newly created, high-impact position that sits at the intersection of legal practice, technology, and innovation. You will own the AI asset layer of the firm's Harvey adoption program, working in closely with the Legal Technology and Transformation team and the AI champions. You will be the interface between the firm's lawyers and the Harvey team, driving the creation and curation of legal assets, including workflows, playbooks, and prompts and working closely with practice group champions to embed AI capability into day-to-day legal work in a way that reduces complexity and maximises value for users. This is not a software rollout or platform administration role.
