Position Summary

Flagship Pioneering is building a dedicated Legal Operations & Technology function, and we are hiring a second Legal Technology and AI Specialist to help lead its hands-on build-out of AI-powered tools and workflows across the legal department. Reporting to the Director, Legal Operations & Technology, this role combines technical AI engineering skills with legal domain knowledge to design, implement, and maintain AI solutions that accelerate legal service delivery across the organization.

Legal Operations & Technology is the engine that makes the legal function run efficiently — owning the department's technology stack, process design, vendor relationships, and performance metrics.
