Join the next wave of Legal AI

This is an exciting opportunity for a professional with a law degree to move into a role at the intersection of law, AI, regulatory compliance and product development. Working within a leading global legal and regulatory business, you will help shape how AI‐powered tools deliver accurate, reliable and practical compliance guidance. This is not a traditional legal role. It is ideal for someone who enjoys legal research, technology, problem‐solving and improving systems, and wants to apply those strengths in a fast‐moving AI environment.

You will play a key role in testing and improving AI‐generated regulatory compliance outputs, ensuring responses are accurate, well‐grounded and aligned to customer expectations. You will work closely with product, engineering and data science teams and contribute to how legal and regulatory content is structured, evaluated and enhanced for AI use cases.

About the role

As a Legal & AI Analyst, you will act as a subject matter expert supporting the development and improvement of AI solutions in the regulatory compliance market. You will validate AI‐generated responses, identify areas for improvement, conduct legal and regulatory research, and help structure content in ways that improve AI accuracy, usability and customer outcomes.

Key responsibilities

• Review and validate AI‐generated legal and regulatory responses for accuracy, relevance and usability
• Identify logic gaps, edge cases and performance issues, and recommend improvements
• Conduct legal and regulatory research to verify and support AI outputs
• Provide structured feedback to product, engineering and data science teams
• Support prompt design, evaluation frameworks and training data improvements
• Identify patterns and insights to enhance AI performance and customer experience
• Contribute to taxonomy, metadata and content structuring for AI systems
• Investigate customer feedback and determine optimal solutions
• Work across Australian, UK and global regulatory environments

• Strong legal research skills using primary sources
• Interest in or exposure to AI tools and emerging technologies
