WHY HARVEY

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.

This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. We have strong product-market fit and world-class investor support. We’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

ROLE OVERVIEW

As a Program Manager for the Legal Engineering organization, you will be joining Harvey's Legal Engineering organization to drive the operational infrastructure that enables one of the company's fastest-growing GTM functions to scale effectively. The Legal Engineering team partners directly with the world's leading law firms and professional services providers to deploy AI-powered solutions, and this role ensures that the programs, processes, and systems underpinning the team operate with rigor and consistency.

It is a rare opportunity to build program management from the ground up within a high-growth function at the intersection of AI and legal services.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Design and execute end-to-end programs that support the Legal Engineering team's operational rhythm.

  • Drive change management initiatives as the Legal Engineering organization scales, ensuring smooth adoption of new processes and tools.

WHAT YOU HAVE

  • 4–7 years of experience in program management, operations, or enablement within a high-growth technology or professional services environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to design and deliver cross-functional programs from concept through execution, managing multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
  • Strong communication and facilitation skills with the ability to influence without authority across a distributed organization.
  • Experience with change management, process design, and operational scaling in fast-paced environments.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action—able to build structure where none exists and iterate quickly.
  • Familiarity with GTM functions, legal technology, or AI products is a strong plus.
