The role involves partnering with product teams to enhance AI-driven contract review capabilities, ensuring legal accuracy, and providing training to users on best practices.
As the most trusted global leader in data-first contract lifecycle management (CLM) software, Agiloft helps organizations manage the end-to-end process of proposing, negotiating, signing, and leveraging contracts using our flexible Data-first Agreement Platform (DAP). With contract data as the foundation, customers quickly and collaboratively reach agreement and leverage contract visibility to thrive with competitive advantage. Employing powerful, pragmatic artificial intelligence as a legal force multiplier, and robust integration capabilities as a data liberator, organizations around the world trust Agiloft’s certified implementers to deliver connected, intelligent, and autonomous solutions across the entire contract lifecycle.
Top analysts like Gartner, Forrester, and IDC agree, all showing Agiloft as a leader in the CLM space. Our no code platform is easily managed and administered by business users, which is why Agiloft is the contract you keep: nearly a full 100% of new customers are satisfied with their initial implementations, and some 97% of customers renew every year. Ours is a growing, vibrant, successful company that is at the forefront of a market that is becoming a must-have for all organizations.
We believe that the way to build the strongest, most vibrant place to work is to bring in individuals from all walks of life, and to support them in bringing their authentic selves to their day, every day. Our working philosophy is that “EX = CX”: when employee experience is excellent, so is customer experience. We support multiple Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), and offer a working environment that supports healthy work/life balance, including floating holidays and a quarterly, no-questions-asked wellness day.
We're looking for an experienced commercial attorney to embed directly within our Product organization as an Innovation Lawyer. This is a unique role at the intersection of law, AI, and product development — you'll serve as the in-house legal expert who helps our product managers, designers, and engineers build, test, and continuously improve the contract review and analytics capabilities at the core of our AI platform.
You won't just advise from the sidelines. You'll be hands-on: reviewing AI outputs, surfacing edge cases, shaping how we evaluate legal quality, and helping translate what "good" looks like in the real world of contracts into something our teams can build toward. You'll also play a key role in helping our customers succeed, leading training sessions and best-practice programs that give them the knowledge to get the most out of our tools.
If you're a lawyer who is energized by technology, curious about how AI is reshaping legal work, and eager to shape a product used by legal and contract teams around the world, this role was built for you
