Director, AI Engagements

You're deeply fluent in AI, but not captured by hype. You understand how these systems work in production: RAG architectures, agentic workflows, prompt engineering, evaluation methods. You know how to separate signal from noise when every vendor claims to be the next breakthrough.

You hold current model-provider credentials. Anthropic Academy certifications (AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations, Claude Code, Building with the Claude API, Model Context Protocol) are a strong plus, and current OpenAI Academy coursework counts too. We treat these as a real signal, not a checkbox: they show you're building with today's tools, not describing yesterday's.

You're technical-adjacent and unafraid of it. You don't need to write Python all day, but you can read an API doc, reason about a system architecture, and have a credible conversation with engineers about tradeoffs.

You command a room at any level. Executive presentations, working sessions with skeptical users, hard conversations about scope and risk. You build trust fast and hold it under pressure.

You're relentlessly practical. You care about what works in production and what changes client behavior, not what sounds impressive in a deck.

You're comfortable with ambiguity. Harbor Labs is new and the market is evolving. You'll set the playbook, not follow one.

Nice to Have:

Senior experience in legal operations, legal technology, or a transformation/innovation function

Track record leading client engagements in consulting or professional services

Experience at a product company (product, solutions, or delivery leadership)

Hands-on experience with a broad range of AI development tools and LLM APIs

Why Harbor Labs:

We're a small, senior team working on hard problems with clients who are serious about deploying AI in production. The work is hands-on, the ownership is real, and the leadership you exercise here will directly shape what this team becomes. This is early. You'll have meaningful input into the strategy, the team, and what Harbor Labs grows into.

How to Apply:

Send us a note about why this role interests you and an engagement or initiative you led that you're proud of, ideally one where you set the strategy and stayed close to the work. Examples and references matter more to us than a polished resume.
