Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Legal Engineer Manager role sits at a growing intersection in SaaS: domain-led pre sales for enterprise AI platforms. Harvey’s positioning in legal and professional services, alongside its stated international customer footprint, signals a company operating beyond early validation and into repeatable, scaled go to market, where consistent discovery and demonstrations become a core product surface.
For a SaaS career, the work builds durable experience in translating complex, regulated workflows into platform value, then operationalising that translation through a team. Managing Legal Engineers also creates exposure to the mechanics of scaling a specialist function: standardising demo quality, partnering with Account Executives on deal strategy, and feeding field insight back into product and marketing in a way that influences positioning and roadmap.
The role is best suited to professionals who combine legal credibility with comfort becoming deeply product fluent, and who prefer influencing outcomes through coaching and process rather than individual heroics. It will fit someone who enjoys stakeholder heavy conversations, can switch between strategic guidance and hands on customer sessions, and is motivated by building a repeatable pre sales motion inside an enterprise facing SaaS environment.

Job Description
Why Harvey
At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate — not incrementally, but end-to-end. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.
This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point.

The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.
Our team is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to the mission. We move fast, operate with intensity, and take real ownership of the problems we tackle — from early thinking to long-term outcomes. We stay close to our customers — from leadership to engineers — and work together to solve real problems with urgency and care. If you thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and want to help shape the future of work alongside others who raise the bar, we invite you to build with us.
At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.
Role Overview
As Harvey scales its pre-sales function across EMEA, we are hiring a Legal Engineer Manager to lead and grow the team in London. This role exists to provide senior leadership and strategic direction to a team of Legal Engineers who sit at the heart of Harvey's commercial motion - bringing legal credibility, product expertise, and consultative support to law firm and in-house prospects.
Harvey’s Legal Engineers are skilled lawyers from top-tier law firms who apply their legal experience to ensure that current and prospective customers understand how Harvey’s solutions enhance specific day-to-day workflows, working alongside Harvey’s Account Executives to support all aspects of our sales strategy. Legal Engineers build consultative relationships with law firm partners and associates and in-house attorneys at private equity firms and Fortune 500 companies, becoming trusted advisors on how Harvey’s AI solutions can make them more effective.
Similar to the way Solutions Architects secure the “technical win” in the sales process, Legal Engineers secure the “legal win” by performing in-depth customer discovery and education on Harvey’s solutions through targeted meetings and demos that resonate with the customer’s day-to-day workflows specific to their legal practice area.
Legal Engineers utilize their experience practicing law and their legal mindset to ask thoughtful questions to understand the needs of law firm and in-house attorneys, develop credibility, and then partner with Account Executives to educate them on Harvey’s value via large and small group sessions as well as one-to-one conversations.
What You'll Do
Lead, coach, and develop a team of Legal Engineers, setting clear performance expectations and building a high-trust, high-output team culture
Own the quality and consistency of Harvey's pre-sales legal engineering function, ensuring demos, discovery conversations, and deal support are delivered to the highest standard
Partner closely with Account Executives and GTM leadership to prioritise pipeline, develop deal strategy, and support conversion on complex or strategic opportunities
Engage with lawyers at prospective customers to understand and address their workflow challenges
Collaborate with Product and Marketing to ensure the team's field insights are feeding into positioning, roadmap, and go-to-market strategy
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.
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.
Travel may be required from time to time, including visits to customer office locations and company offices.
What You Have
Qualified lawyer with 7+ PQE, with experience in a law firm or in-house legal environment
Must have prior experience managing a team, with a track record of developing talent and driving performance
Deep familiarity with legal technology and AI tools, with an ability to quickly develop and demonstrate platform expertise
Strong commercial instincts and the ability to engage credibly with senior stakeholders at law firms and in-house legal teams
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with experience running training, workshops, or client-facing product sessions
Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach
