Legal Technology and Innovation Manager

Legal Technology and Innovation Manager
London | Hybrid working

We are recruiting for a Legal Technology and Innovation Manager to join a well-established legal technology function within a leading London-based law firm.

This is a senior, hands-on role focused on helping lawyers use technology effectively to improve how legal services are delivered, both internally and to clients.

The role

You will work closely with partners, lawyers and business services teams to identify opportunities where technology can add value, then lead the delivery and adoption of those solutions. This includes modern legal technologies such as AI, document automation, workflow and collaboration tools.

This is not a traditional IT support role. It combines legal understanding, technology delivery, project management and stakeholder engagement.

Key responsibilities

• Working with legal teams to understand workflows and identify opportunities for technology-enabled improvement

• Leading the implementation, rollout and adoption of legal technology solutions

• Delivering training, demonstrations and support to drive user adoption

• Managing multiple lawtech projects from concept through to live use

• Engaging with technology vendors and assessing new tools

• Supporting client-facing initiatives, pitches and technology-enabled services

• Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders across the firm

• Supporting and mentoring junior members of the lawtech team

What we are looking for

• Experience working with or within law firms or professional services organisations

• Strong exposure to legal technology, such as AI tools, document automation, workflow or collaboration platforms

• Proven experience delivering systems into legal environments and driving adoption

• Confidence working directly with partners and senior lawyers

• Strong communication skills and a practical, delivery-focused mindset

• Experience with project or process management methodologies

• A genuine interest in legal innovation and improving legal service delivery

Background

Suitable candidates may come from:

• An in-house legal technology or innovation role within a law firm

• A legal tech vendor, consultancy or alternative legal services provider with strong law firm exposure

• A legal background with a move into technology, innovation or legal operations

Why apply

• Join a mature and well-supported lawtech function

• Work with modern legal technologies, including AI

• High visibility role with real impact on how legal work is delivered

• Exposure to senior lawyers and client-facing initiatives

• Long-term role with scope to develop and specialise

Location & working pattern

London-based role with hybrid working. Regular office attendance is expected to support collaboration with legal teams.
