Role

Harvey’s Strategic Business Development Leads are skilled lawyers who apply their legal expertise to help current and prospective customers understand how Harvey’s AI solutions can drive transformation across law firms and legal teams — from improving individual workflows to enabling firm-wide innovation, adoption, and change. Working alongside Account Executives, they support all aspects of our Sales and Go-To-Market strategy.

  • Engage with English- and German-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.
  • Act as a trusted advisor, helping law firms and legal teams think through adoption strategy, change management, and how to integrate Harvey into daily workflows and firm-wide processes.
  • Lead tailored product demonstrations aligned with the priorities of law firm practice groups and in-house legal teams, validating use cases and illustrating clear value.
  • Identify and prioritize opportunities to deliver impact with Harvey across legal teams, supporting both individual users and broader adoption initiatives.
  • Partner with the marketing team to develop content and messaging for the DACH market that speaks to region-specific legal challenges and practices.
  • Act as the Voice of the Customer, bringing legal insight and user feedback into sales strategy, product development, and go-to-market planning.
  • Provide competitive and market intelligence specific to the DACH legal tech landscape.
  • Further strengthen Harvey’s reputation in the DACH region as a credible, substantive, and forward-looking AI partner to the legal industry.

What You Have

  • Based in London and eligible to work in the UK.
  • Fluent in German and English.
  • At least 3 years of experience practicing law at a top-tier law firm or in-house legal team, ideally with a focus in corporate law, litigation, or regulatory.
  • Strong understanding of German legal processes and the challenges faced by legal professionals.
  • Executive presence with the ability to engage partners, general counsel, and senior stakeholders.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
  • Commercial acumen and curiosity about how AI can transform legal services.
  • Prior experience in a customer-facing or business development role is a plus.
