[Hiring] Senior Consultant - Legal GenAI @Consilio

Role Description

Consilio’s Legal Management Consulting team works with in-house legal departments around the world to improve how they operate, including the responsible adoption of generative AI. We are hiring a Senior Consultant to take a leading role in our Legal GenAI practice. You will own workstreams on client engagements covering:

• AI readiness
• Tool selection
• Prompt design
• Process redesign
• Operating model changes required to make GenAI work in practice inside a legal team

This role carries real responsibility. You will manage your own deliverables, work directly with senior client stakeholders, and help shape how the practice grows. You will also mentor junior consultants and contribute to proposals and thought leadership. This role includes travel so you must be willing to travel internationally.

Responsibilities

• Lead workstreams on Legal GenAI engagements, including AI readiness assessments, tool selection, process redesign, and implementation planning.
• Run client workshops and interviews with senior in-house legal stakeholders, and translate the outputs into actionable recommendations.
• Own client deliverables end to end – from structure and analysis through to final review with the engagement lead.
• Evaluate and pilot GenAI tools (for example Legora, CoCounsel, Harvey, Wordsmith) and design prompt libraries and use case frameworks for clients.
• Map legal processes and identify, with the client, where GenAI adds genuine value and where it does not.
• Mentor and review the work of junior consultants, and help them develop on engagements.
• Contribute to proposals, RFP responses, and business development for the GenAI practice.
• Develop points of view, whitepapers, and training material that strengthen Consilio’s position in the market.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of relevant experience in legal consulting, legal operations, legal technology, or an in-house legal function. Backgrounds in finance, technology, or data are also welcome where the candidate has worked closely with legal teams.
• A degree in law, finance, information technology, data science, or a related field.
• Demonstrable hands-on experience with GenAI tools, ideally in a legal or professional services context. You should be able to talk credibly about what works, what does not, and why.
• Strong written and spoken English. You can structure a complex problem on a page and explain it clearly to both lawyers and technologists.
• Confident managing your own workstream, your own time, and your own deliverables, with appropriate oversight from the engagement lead.
• Comfortable in front of senior stakeholders, including General Counsels and Heads of Legal Operations.
• Solid working knowledge of Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint). Familiarity with contract lifecycle management and legal operations tools is an advantage.

Requirements

• Experience on a Legal GenAI implementation, pilot, or vendor selection from start to finish (helpful but not essential).
• Exposure to legal operations, contract management, compliance, or knowledge management (helpful but not essential).
• Change management experience or certification (for example Prosci) (helpful but not essential).
• A second language relevant to our client base (for example French or German) (helpful but not essential).

Benefits

• Ownership of substantive workstreams on engagements with large global legal teams from week one.
• Direct working relationships with senior in-house legal leaders.
• A practice that is actively growing, with a clear path into more senior consulting roles.
• Support for relevant certifications, training, and conference attendance.
• A team that values pragmatic, evidence-based work over consulting theatre.
