Are you our next Legal Innovation Strategist? 

You’ve practiced law. You’ve drafted the documents, sat through the meetings, and worked around the inefficiencies. And when AI tools hit your radar, you didn’t wait. You dove in—prompting, testing, optimizing—finding faster, smarter ways to get legal work done. 

You’re not just curious about AI. You’re already using it to transform how you work—and now, you want to help law firms do the same. 

At Affinity Consulting, we’re hiring a client-facing Legal AI Strategist with recent law firm experience to help legal teams rethink how they work—from intake to output, drafting to delivery. This isn’t a back-end builder role. It’s a high-impact, people-facing, problem-solving position for a lawyer who’s ready to turn insight into action—and help firms do the same. 

You won’t be handed someone else’s playbook. You’ll help write the next chapter in how legal work gets done. 

This is a rare opportunity to: 

  • Design new systems from a blank canvas 
  • Help law firms embrace change—and thrive in it 
  • Be seen and heard as a national voice on legal innovation 
  • Work with a team of smart, kind humans doing work that matters 

If you’re ready to stop keeping up with change and start leading it, this might be your next big move. 

What you would do, (unofficially). 

You’ll serve as the bridge between the law firm’s real-life headaches and our team of brilliant AI builders. It’s a high-impact translator role—perfect for someone who knows what it’s like to work inside a law firm, can spot inefficiencies instantly, and can imagine how thoughtful AI adoption, intelligent workflows, and automation can make their work radically better. 

What you would do, (officially). 

As our Legal AI Strategist, you’ll lead client engagements focused on AI and automation strategy. You’ll be the face of our AI transformation work—partnering with clients to surface needs, design solutions, and co-create the future of work in the legal profession. You’ll collaborate closely with our internal team of specialists, trainers, and consultants to bring those solutions to life. 

You’ll also speak, teach, and write—helping position Affinity as the national leader in legal AI transformation. 

Your responsibilities. 

Client Strategy & Discovery 

  • Lead discovery sessions with law firms to understand workflows, uncover frustrations, and identify high-value opportunities for AI 
  • Develop strategic roadmaps that show how AI and automation can drive efficiency, quality, and profitability 
  • Build trust with lawyers, firm leaders, and staff by meeting them where they are—and showing them where they can go 

Internal Collaboration 

  • Translate client needs into usable documentation for internal AI solution specialists 
  • Partner with team members to bring strategies to life through implementation and enablement 
  • Spot patterns and help us standardize our offerings into repeatable, scalable frameworks 

Training & Evangelism 

  • Deliver live and virtual education sessions for law firms and industry groups 
  • Participate in podcasts, webinars, and conference panels to help demystify AI for the legal world 
  • Create enablement assets and thought leadership content that drives demand and trust 

Market Intelligence & Learning 

  • Stay up to date on emerging AI tools, legal tech platforms, and best practices 
  • Test new tools, evaluate their fit for legal use cases, and contribute to internal evaluations 
  • Help evolve our AI services based on what’s working (and what’s not) 

Your first 90 days. 

You’ll hit the ground running by joining client strategy sessions and learning our frameworks. You’ll help refine our discovery process, contribute to client roadmaps, and work with our implementation team to bring ideas to life. You’ll get clear on what law firm leaders need most—and help us deliver fast wins that lead to long-term change. 

What we’re looking for. 

We’re not just looking for someone who understands law firm life—we’re looking for someone who’s lived it and reimagined it. 

You’ve practiced recently enough to know how legal work really gets done—and you’ve already started using AI tools to do it better. You’re already using ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or legal-specific AI platforms to streamline tasks and boost output. You understand prompts, risks, and ROI. You’re not just curious about AI—you’re doing it, and you want to help others catch up. 

You’re ready to take that experience and help others transform how they operate—from solo attorneys to enterprise firms. You ask sharp questions, connect dots others miss, and know how to turn friction into opportunity. 

Bonus points if you bring: 

  • Experience mapping legal workflows or implementing new systems 
  • Comfort leading workshops, speaking on panels, or training teams 
  • A bias toward action and a deep respect for both people and process 

You’re Our Person If You: 

  • Have recent, real-world experience practicing law 
  • Are excited—not intimidated—by AI, automation, and systems thinking 
  • Can talk to a skeptical managing partner and a savvy software consultant in the same day 
  • Love making people feel empowered, not overwhelmed, by new tools 
  • Want to help shape the future of the legal profession—and enjoy the ride along the way
