    Description

    Senior Counsel – Contract Intelligence & AI Integration

     

    Where cutting-edge technology meets high-impact legal strategy.

     

    A highly successful, nationally recognized organization is seeking a Senior Counsel – Contract Intelligence & AI Integration to help redefine how contracts are reviewed, analyzed, and optimized at scale. This is a rare opportunity for a forward-thinking attorney to sit at the intersection of law, artificial intelligence, and innovation, playing a critical role in transforming legal operations through smart technology.

     

    This role is 100% in-office and ideal for an attorney who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and is excited to lead the evolution of AI-driven legal workflows.

     

    What You’ll Do

    As a senior leader within the Legal Department, you will:

    + Own and lead the implementation, optimization, and oversight of AI-powered contract review and analytics tools

    + Review every incoming contract using advanced AI platforms to identify risks, gaps, inconsistencies, and deviations

    + Partner with attorneys to enhance and standardize contract language using AI insights and best practices

    + Build and maintain contract templates, clause libraries, and playbooks informed by data and business trends

    + Serve as the department’s AI subject-matter expert, training attorneys and paralegals on effective tool usage

    + Collaborate with IT and Procurement to ensure secure integration, data privacy, and confidentiality compliance

    + Stay ahead of AI regulations, legal ethics standards, and emerging legal-tech trends

    + Track and report metrics tied to efficiency, risk mitigation, and process improvement

    + Support senior legal leadership with complex contract negotiations and strategic projects

    + Maintain structured workflows and documentation within the contract management system

    Requirements

    What We’re Looking For

     

    + Active Texas law license, or licensed elsewhere with eligibility to obtain Texas licensure within one year

    + J.D. from an accredited law school

    + 8–10+ years of experience in contract drafting, negotiation, and risk management

    + Hands-on experience with AI-driven contract review or document automation tools (Ironclad, Evisort, Luminance, Harvey, or similar)

    + Prior in-house experience preferred, particularly in high-volume contracting environments

    + Strong command of data privacy, confidentiality, and AI-ethics principles

    + Proficiency with Microsoft applications, Lexis, and Westlaw

    + A mindset rooted in innovation, process improvement, and collaboration

     

    Why This Opportunity Stands Out

     

    + 25 days of PTO

    + Comprehensive Medical, Dental & Vision coverage

    + 401(k) with 100% company match up to 6%

    + High-visibility role with the ability to shape the future of legal AI within a growing organization

    + Stable, well-resourced legal department with leadership support for innovation
