Enterprise AI Transformation Lead

At Everlaw, our mission is to promote justice by illuminating truth. We're changing how legal teams at law firms, corporations, government agencies, and nonprofits find the information they need to achieve their truth-finding goals. Everlaw is building a deliberate, company-wide approach to AI—not simply to help people work faster, but to transform how we operate: redesigning workflows, improving the speed and quality of decisions, and creating new ways for teams to deliver meaningful outcomes. Reporting to the VP of IT & Security, you’ll own Everlaw’s horizontal Corporate AI program end to end across governance, shared tooling strategy, adoption, measurement, and cost and vendor management. You’ll drive AI transformation by mobilizing department AI owners and champions and partnering closely with Learning & Development, Legal, and IT & Security. This is a deeply hands-on role. You’ll get deep into enterprise AI platforms, agents, connectors, and workflows—evaluating tools, building and testing practical solutions, and translating what works into reusable capabilities that scale. This is not an AI research or production engineering role, nor is it a traditional program-management or consulting role. It is a builder-operator role for someone who can work deeply in the systems while running the program with rigor—connecting systems, people, and execution so AI becomes a durable part of how Everlaw operates.
