Managing both partner relationships and customer engagement, you'll play a key role in expanding market reach, identifying commercial opportunities, and delivering measurable business outcomes.

Working closely with leadership, product, and technical teams, you'll act as a trusted advisor, helping partners and customers understand how AI can transform workflows, improve efficiency, and unlock new opportunities.

• A proactive, outcomes-focused approach with strong business acumen

Why This Role?

You'll be joining a highly regarded LegalTech business with an established customer base, strong market presence, and a significant investment in AI growth. This is a rare opportunity to help shape a rapidly expanding AI division while leveraging an existing network of clients and partners already engaged with the business.

The organisation also offers:

• Strong career development and progression pathways
