Overview

Reporting to the Senior Manager, AI Acceleration & Administrative Enablement, the person in this role will be a senior, hands-on member of the firm’s global AI Enablement team, based in our London office. This role is for an experienced legal technology or AI enablement professional who combines deep, expert-level fluency in leading AI platforms with the ability to design and deliver training, build trust with senior stakeholders, and drive lasting adoption across business services teams.

Primary Objectives

• Serve as the firm’s go-to platform expert across Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot, Harvey and other AI tools used by business services professionals, translating platform capabilities into practical, role-specific use cases.
• Lead the design and delivery of AI training, enablement programmes, and adoption campaigns for administrative and business services staff across London and other EU/Asia offices.
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with EU/Asia business services leadership, practice group administrators, and regional stakeholders to drive habitual AI adoption.
• Partner with the Senior Manager, AI Acceleration & Administrative Enablement, and the broader global AI Enablement team to ensure EU/Asia programmes align with the firm’s global AI strategy while reflecting regional and local nuances.
• Track platform updates, new AI tool releases, and vendor roadmaps, providing early assessment of relevance to business services workflows.

Main Responsibilities (not exhaustive)

AI Platform Expertise

• Maintain expert-level, hands-on fluency with Claude, Harvey, Gemini, and other AI and legal AI platforms adopted by the firm, including new features, prompt engineering techniques, and known platform limitations.
• Serve as an escalation point for advanced or unusual platform questions from business services staff across EU/Asia.
• Evaluate new AI tools and platform updates, representing administrative and business services user needs in vendor discussions and firm-wide platform evaluations.
• Translate platform capabilities into role-specific workflows and use cases for practice assistants, secretaries, and other administrative teams.

Training & Enablement Delivery

• Design and deliver in-person and virtual training sessions, workshops, and drop-in ‘office hours’ for London and EU/Asia-based business services staff.
• Develop training materials, playbooks, quick-reference guides, and recorded content tailored to EU/Asia audiences.
• Track training participation and platform usage/adoption metrics, and report on outcomes to firm leadership.

Change Management & Stakeholder Engagement

• Build and maintain relationships with London and EU/Asia business services leadership, office managers, and department heads to identify enablement priorities and address adoption barriers.
• Support change management planning for AI-related technology rollouts affecting EU/Asia administrative teams.
• Act as regional liaison between the global AI Enablement team and EU/Asia offices, ensuring regional feedback informs the firm’s global AI strategy.

Collaboration & Mentorship

• Collaborate with business services groups to incorporate AI, legal technology, or find other opportunities to streamline and increase workflow efficiencies wherever possible.
• Provide guidance and informal mentorship to administrative staff developing their own AI fluency, and to junior enablement team members as the team scales.
• Collaborate with Legal Technology Portfolio, Strategy and Ops, IT, Information Security, Compliance, and other teams on responsible, compliant use of AI tools involving firm and client data.

Person Specification

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in promoting change through the adoption of technology, change management, and business process improvement in professional organisations.
• Demonstrated, expert-level, hands-on proficiency with Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Harvey, plus working knowledge of other generative AI and legal AI platforms — able to train others, troubleshoot advanced use cases, and speak credibly to platform capabilities and limitations.
• Prior experience designing and delivering technology training programmes to non-technical, professional audiences.
• Strong understanding of the working practices of legal administrative and business services teams.
• Familiarity with UK/EU data protection considerations (UK GDPR) as they relate to AI tool usage is a plus.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders.
