Legal Engineer Manager, APAC

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. 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. With 1500+ customers in 60+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

As Harvey scales its pre-sales function across APAC, we are hiring a Legal Engineer Manager to lead and grow the team in Sydney. 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 or in-house teams 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 ASX 200 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.
