Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

7 transfer filings in the last year, covering 7 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • At the center of this is our Applied AI / Forward Deployed motion: we work closely with law firms and in-house legal teams to distill their core legal processes and embed them into bespoke solutions built on our platform.
  • As an AI Strategist on our Applied AI team focused on the legal vertical, you are the subject matter expert who makes this real for legal professionals.

Responsibilities

  • Lead discovery with law firms and in-house legal departments: what matters to the practice, what problems they are solving, and which workflows are worth automating
  • Define scope-what is the right thing to build-and own success metrics, pilot design, and commercial structure
  • Drive deployment and rollout across practice groups and legal departments, with real revenue responsibility alongside Sales
  • Build and deliver compelling, workflow-specific demonstrations: legal research, contract review and analysis, due diligence, drafting, deposition and discovery summarization, regulatory monitoring
  • Prototype workflows, skills, and connector configurations hands-on in Perplexity Computer and the API Platform to prove value in the customer's own use cases
  • Run pilots and evaluations that hold up to scrutiny from skeptical partners and general counsel
  • Assess whether we have the right research, contract, docket, and document-management integrations to serve each legal segment-and drive the roadmap where we do not
  • Own senior relationships with partners, general counsel, and legal-innovation leaders
  • Own senior relationships with partners, general counsel, and legal-innovation leaders; move engagements through qualification, scoping, proposal, pricing, legal, and close
  • Create urgency, write crisp follow-ups, and know when to push and when to wait

Requirements

  • 3+ years of direct experience practicing law at a leading firm or in-house-litigation, transactional, or regulatory-or in legal ops / legal innovation with deep workflow exposure
  • 5+ years of total experience spanning legal and some combination of technical GTM, sales engineering, solutions architecture, AI product strategy, or applied AI with customer exposure
  • Strong intuition for AI products, agents, and workflows, with the ability to understand technical systems without needing every detail pre-digested
  • Demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous customer problems into scoped, executable deployment plans with clear success metrics
  • High agency and low ego, with the ability to run multiple complex customer workstreams in parallel and make progress before the playbook exists
  • Working knowledge of legal technology platforms: Westlaw, LexisNexis, iManage, NetDocuments, Relativity, Ironclad, or similar
  • Experience selling or deploying technology into law firms or regulated enterprises, including outside-counsel guidelines, privilege, and security review
  • You are part customer owner, part product strategist, part sales engineer-fluent in both the language of the practice group and the language of the platform.
  • 3+ years of direct experience practicing law at a leading firm or in-house-litigation, transactional, or regulatory-or in legal ops / legal innovation with deep workflow exposure; you have run diligence, drafted and negotiated agreements, and lived the workflows you will now automate
  • Strong commercial instincts and comfort operating with partners, general counsel, CIOs, and heads of innovation
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; able to write proposals, customer memos, technical scopes, and launch narratives
  • JD and bar admission
  • Hands-on experience building with agentic systems, tool-use workflows, MCP, or LLM APIs
  • Founder or early-startup operating experience
  • Strong network across AmLaw 100 firms and Fortune 500 legal departments
