This role can be based in San Francisco, New York or Washington, D.C. https://www.mofo.com/offices ABOUT THE ROLE The Associate Director of Practice Intelligence is a strategic leader responsible for reimagining how MoFo captures, curates, and deploys the firm's institutional knowledge — and for ensuring that knowledge becomes the engine that powers the firm's AI and innovation initiatives. This role bridges the gap between the substantive practice of law and the transformative potential of AI and emerging technologies. Reporting to the Director of Practice Innovation & Technology, this role sits within the Practice Innovation team as an integrated part of the firm's innovation strategy. The premise is simple: AI is only as good as the knowledge it's trained on. The firm's precedents, playbooks, templates, and accumulated expertise are its most valuable intellectual assets, and this role ensures they are structured, accessible, and optimized to fuel AI-enabled legal delivery. This is a strategic, practice-embedded role for an experienced attorney who understands both the substance of legal work and the transformational potential of making firm knowledge intelligent, searchable, and actionable at scale. Practice Intelligence Strategy Define and lead MoFo's Practice Intelligence strategy: a reimagined approach to knowledge management that treats firm knowledge as a strategic asset and a prerequisite for effective AI deployment. Apply legal practice experience to develop frameworks for how the firm captures, organizes, curates, and surfaces institutional knowledge across practice groups. This includes precedents, work product, playbooks, deal/case intelligence, and accumulated expertise. Establish "knowledge-readiness" standards for practice groups, ensuring their institutional knowledge is structured and AI-ready as a prerequisite for AI tool adoption and pilots. Partner with Practice Innovation colleagues and IT to ensure knowledge architecture decisions align with the firm's AI platform strategy and tool ecosystem. Practice-Embedded Advisory Serve as a consultative partner to practice group leaders: applying legal practice experience to diagnose knowledge gaps, identify high-value opportunities for knowledge capture and curation, and design solutions that integrate naturally into attorney workflows. Work directly with attorneys to develop practice-specific knowledge assets: playbooks, clause libraries, template systems, matter intelligence databases, and other structured resources that improve quality, consistency, and efficiency. Lead initiatives to capture tacit knowledge from experienced practitioners and translate it into structured, reusable formats that benefit the entire practice group and enhance AI tool effectiveness.
