Legal AI Program Manager

Harbor Labs is building the next generation of AI-enabled legal services. We partner with leading law firms and corporate legal departments to turn emerging AI capabilities into practical, scalable ways of working often before a proven playbook exists. This role sits at the center of that work: leading complex programs, guiding senior legal stakeholders, and converting what we learn into repeatable approaches that can scale across clients and Harbor.

Build what comes next. Join a team working at the edge of legal AI where the problems are real, the answers are still emerging, and your judgment can directly shape how leading legal organizations adopt and scale new technology.

Why this role exists:

As our embedded AI engagements expand, clients increasingly need more than strong project execution. They need a leader who understands the realities of legal AI delivery, can shape the conversation with lawyers and legal-operations teams, and can turn technical and adoption signals into sound program decisions.

The Legal AI Program Manager will create the structure that allows multidisciplinary teams to move quickly without losing rigor. You will bring clarity to ambiguity, challenge assumptions constructively, and help clients make confident decisions about where AI can create meaningful value and where it cannot.

What makes this different:

• This is not a traditional PMO role and it is not a schedule-management position. You will be expected to understand the work deeply enough to influence it.
• You will operate at the intersection of AI, legal work, client delivery, and organizational change—partnering with AI delivery leaders and technical specialists while serving as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders.
• Because Harbor Labs is still evolving, you will have a meaningful voice in how we work, what we build, and how this capability scales. The frameworks and operating practices you create will shape future engagements, offerings, and teams.

What you'll do:

• Lead complex legal AI programs from strategy through adoption. Create the structure, priorities, decision forums, and momentum required to move enterprise AI initiatives forward across one or more embedded client engagements.
• Guide senior legal stakeholders with credibility. Advise General Counsel, legal-operations leaders, and lawyers on use cases, sequencing, governance, adoption, and what strong AI programs look like in practice.
• Orchestrate multidisciplinary teams. Connect client leaders with Harbor specialists across AI delivery, legal operations, workflow design, change, and technology so that decisions translate into coordinated action.
• Turn delivery signals into program decisions. Translate what is happening in configuration, prompting, evaluation, workflow design, risk,
