The Role

We’re looking for a sharp, experienced Plaintiff Personal Injury attorney ready to make a real impact by shaping legal technology that improves how PI lawyers work every day. This is your opportunity to bring your years of PI practice into a fast-growing SaaS company where you'll collaborate with Product, Marketing, Sales, and Client Success to help thousands of law firms win cases, stay organized, and grow thriving practices. 

A Typical Day Involves

• Be the expert: Advise our Product team on workflows, features, and user experiences tailored to U.S. Plaintiff Personal Injury firms. 
• Build smarter tools: Help design powerful automations—like medical chronology tools, settlement calculators, litigation timelines, and more. 
• Shape our voice: Partner with Marketing to deliver compelling, real-world PI content (webinars, blog posts, CLEs, product releases). 
• Drive adoption: Support our Sales and Implementation teams with training, demos, and insights that speak directly to PI firms. 
• Connect to the front lines: Meet with our PI clients, gather feedback, observe workflows, and translate that into product and process improvements. 
• Contribute to our PI strategy: Influence our go-to-market approach, messaging, and roadmap as we scale up in the PI vertical. 

What You Bring

Essential: 

• Juris Doctor (JD) and active or recently active license to practice law in the U.S. 

• 4+ years’ experience practicing Plaintiff-side Personal Injury law (e.g. MVA, premises, dog bite, med mal) 

• Passion for legal tech and streamlining messy workflows into elegant processes 

• Strong understanding of PI firm operations—intake to settlement 

• Excellent communication skills—you can explain legal nuance in plain English 

• Confidence and curiosity—comfortable talking with law firm owners, developers, and marketers alike 

Nice to Have: 

• Prior experience using legal software (bonus points for Smokeball, Filevine, CasePeer, Needles, Smart Advocate or LEAP) 
• Experience speaking at CLEs, writing legal content, or mentoring others 
• A knack for UX, automation, or tech tools (even if you’ve never coded!)
