About the role

Wordsmith is building the legal operations platform for in-house teams and is growing fast. The GTM Legal Engineer guides in-house legal teams through the shift toward AI-enabled operations, combining legal ops expertise, solutions architecture, change advisory, and client partnerships to demonstrate how AI can improve legal workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with Account Executives across the full sales cycle, bringing in-house credibility and knowledge to discovery, demos, and commercial conversations with legal leadership and team members.
  • Lead tailored product demonstrations for and in-house legal teams — grounding every demo in the operational realities of inhouse legal work.
  • Conduct in-depth discovery to understand how each legal department is structured, how work flows, where inefficiencies lie, and where Wordsmith can deliver impact across contract management, regulatory compliance, matter management, and external counsel oversight.
  • Hands on support during pilots or evaluation periods, helping connect specific business needs with the developing technology.
  • Translate the value of AI into language that resonates with in-house stakeholders: reduced cycle times, cost efficiency, risk reduction, and freeing lawyers to focus on business priorities.
  • Confidently engage on ROI — helping legal and finance stakeholders evaluate and articulate the business case for AI adoption internally.
  • Act as the voice of the in-house customer within the GTM team, feeding commercial and product teams with insight on how corporate legal departments think, prioritise, and buy.
  • Be a leading voice for in-house users inside the company — sharing insights from legal ops teams, commercial lawyers, and compliance functions that inform product development and roadmap priorities.
  • Work closely with product and engineering teams as well as embedded legal engineers to translate real-world in-house legal needs into clear, actionable product requirements.
  • Help develop commercial messaging, content, and collateral that speaks directly to the priorities of GCs, Legal Ops leaders, and in-house teams.
  • Contribute to the development of the legal engineering function as it scales, helping to define how the company engages with and serves in-house customers globally.

Qualifications

  • Qualified attorney with experience in an in-house legal team — whether at a corporation, financial institution, or high-growth company.
  • Strong understanding of how in-house legal departments are structured and how decisions get made — from the GC down to legal ops and interacting with other company members.
  • Ability to engage credibly across a range of in-house stakeholders: legal leadership, legal ops professionals, procurement, and business clients.
  • Executive presence and communication skills — comfortable presenting to a GC, facilitating a workshop with a legal ops team, or running a business case discussion with a CFO.
  • Genuine ability to translate across disciplines: bridging legal, commercial, technical, and operational conversations without losing the thread.
  • Curiosity about AI and a conviction that it will reshape the in-house legal function.
