• Build and maintain relationships with senior stakeholders at the region's top law firms and legal teams, and represent Harvey at key industry and client events.
• Partner closely with regional Sales, Customer Success, and Product leadership to set priorities, shape our go-to-market approach, and adapt our playbooks to each market.
• Establish regional operating rhythms (forecasting, QBRs, pipeline and adoption reviews) that your managers use to run their businesses and continuously raise the bar on quality and impact.

Requirements

• A legal qualification and extensive senior experience (typically 12+ years) at a leading law firm, in-house team, or legal technology company.
• Proven experience leading people managers and multi-country teams, with a track record of building and scaling high-performing organizations.
• Credibility with senior stakeholders in the APAC legal community, including partners, GCs, and C-suite leaders.
• Hands-on leadership of a legal technology or AI rollout, ideally across multiple jurisdictions or business units.
