About the Role
An exciting opportunity for an experienced Lawyer or a Legal Counsel who'd like to take their legal career in a new direction - away from long hours and towards high-impact, client-facing work in legal innovation. This is relationship-driven, lawyer-to-lawyer role, where you'll operate across both pre-sales and post-sales activity within top-tier law firm and corporate accounts.
You will play a key role in a global drive to adoption and engagement of Lexis Nexis Protégé - our AI-powered legal platform that brings together legal research, drafting, and analysis in one seamless experience. Read about Protégé here: https://www.lexisnexis.com/en-au/products/protege
You will engage directly with lawyers, heads of department and practice area heads to secure support and endorsement for Protégé adoption.
This is a permanent, full-time position and can be based in Sydney or Melbourne with flexible hybrid working arrangements.
What You'll Be Doing
- Drive adoption of Protégé (AI-powered legal platform) in top accounts by working lawyer-to-lawyer with senior legal stakeholders
- Build trusted relationships with practice leaders and translate workflow priorities into practical AI-enabled solutions
- Deliver high-impact demonstrations that show how AI (Protégé) improves legal work and outcomes
- Partner with Relationship Managers and Directors to research prospects and execute pursuit strategies that build senior-level relationships and create new business opportunities (pre-sales activities)
- Capture customer insights in CRM and feed learnings back to the business to shape engagement and recommendations
Requirements
- Legally qualified professional (essential)
- 5 years' experience as a practicing lawyer, legal counsel or barrister
- Strong interest in moving beyond traditional practice into AI, legal tech or innovation
- Curiosity and enthusiasm for AI and how it can transform legal workflows
- Experience in client-facing, advisory, or stakeholder engagement roles (pre/post-sales experience beneficial but not essential)
- Background in a top-tier law firm or in-house legal team (highly regarded)
- Strong executive presence with confidence engaging senior stakeholders
- Experience presenting, facilitating, or demonstrating solutions - or a willingness to develop these skills
