This team specializes in evaluating legal processes and technology, developing technology roadmaps, system selection and implementation, and change management. We collaborate with leading vendors to provide clients with product-specific expertise and market insights. Our goal is to assist corporate legal departments in enhancing operational efficiency, managing data effectively, and utilizing technology to mitigate risk and cost.
In this role, you will work closely with Harbor project team members and clients to lead requirements gathering and analysis, execute legal technology best practices, and apply our methodologies to facilitate the selection, implementation, and optimization of legal technology systems.

Managing project scope, schedules, workplans, timelines, and budgets, as well as maintaining client relationships, are also integral parts of this role.
The ideal candidate will have over three years of relevant experience in the legal or consulting industry, such as in-house legal departments, law firms, legal software providers, or consulting firms. Experience in legal technology, including assessments, requirements gathering, system design, configuration, implementation, testing, and deployment, is essential.
