Job Description

Your time will be split across two areas of work.

AI and knowledge infrastructure

• Map existing legal workflows across the employment function to identify processes that are candidates for AI-assisted automation or enhancement.
• Work with lawyers to pilot and test AI tools against specific employment law use cases: for example, jurisdiction summaries, first-draft playbooks, or clause libraries.
• Research and document best-practice approaches to AI use in in-house legal functions, drawing on external developments as well as internal needs.
• Help build and populate a knowledge management system with structured, reusable legal content: jurisdiction guides, process notes, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and precedent documents.
• Support quality review of AI-generated outputs, identifying errors, gaps, and hallucinations to help calibrate tool usage and guardrails.

Employment law support

• Conduct legal research across EMEA jurisdictions on employment topics arising from live matters, including works council obligations, termination frameworks, and data privacy requirements in an employment context.
• Draft research notes, jurisdiction summaries, and briefing documents for review by qualified lawyers.
• Assist in the development of employment law playbooks and process guides as part of the wider governance programme.
• Track and summarise legislative and regulatory developments across EMEA that are relevant to the function's work.
• Support the team with day-to-day administrative and coordination tasks as needed.

Person specification

Essential

• A graduate with a genuine interest in pursuing a career in law.
• A clear interest in employment or labour law.
• Strong research and written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, accurate summaries for a non-specialist audience.
• Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams and meet deadlines in a fast-moving environment.
• Proficient in Microsoft 365: Teams, SharePoint, Excel, Word, and Outlook.
• Curious about AI and its application in legal work: you do not need to be technical, but you should be genuinely interested in how AI is changing the practice of law.

Desirable

• Prior exposure to an in-house legal environment, a law firm, or a legal technology setting through work experience, a vacation scheme, or a previous internship.
• Familiarity with AI tools.
