WHY HARVEY

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. We have 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.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Harvey’s Japan Head of Legal Engineering is an experienced lawyer-operator who will build and manage a Japan-based team of Legal Engineers and Legal Engineering Product Specialists. They will lead this hybrid team to help Japanese law firms and in-house legal departments integrate Harvey into their day-to-day workflows, driving adoption, measurable value, and long-term expansion. The role sits at the intersection of legal, product, and go-to-market, translating local market needs into concrete product usage and feedback. They will partner closely with global Legal Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success leaders while owning team strategy, execution, and talent development in Japan. This is a rare opportunity to found and scale Harvey’s Japan Legal Engineering organization and shape how AI is adopted across one of the world’s most sophisticated legal markets.

What You’ll Do

- Build, lead, and develop a high-performing Japan Legal Engineering team, including both Legal Engineers and Legal Engineering Product Specialists, with clear goals, coaching, and career paths.

- Design the operating model for Legal Engineering in Japan — coverage model, engagement rhythm, and collaboration patterns with Sales, Customer Success, and Product — to support both pre-sales and post-sales needs.

- Ensure your team consistently delivers high-quality discovery, demos, onboarding, and workflow design for Japanese law firms and in-house teams, tailored to local practice areas and bilingual (JP/EN) environments.

- Work cross-functionally with global Legal Engineering and Product to translate Japanese customer feedback into roadmap input, feature priorities, and localization requirements.

- Own headcount planning, hiring, and onboarding for Legal Engineers and Legal Engineering Product Specialists in Japan, ensuring the right mix of legal expertise, product aptitude, and customer-facing skills.

What You Have

- Substantial experience practicing law in Japan (or with Japanese clients), with a strong understanding of how leading Japanese firms and in-house teams operate.

- Proven experience managing or leading legal, client-facing, or technical-specialist teams, including responsibility for hiring, performance management, and coaching.

- Demonstrated ability to build and scale a function or team, ideally in a high-growth, technology, or innovation-oriented environment.

- Deep interest in legal technology and AI, with enough product aptitude to guide Legal Engineers and Legal Engineering Product Specialists on demos, workflow design, and customer enablement.

- Professional fluency in Japanese and English, with the ability to manage a bilingual team and engage credibly with senior stakeholders in both languages.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
