About this role
WHY HARVEY
At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.
This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. We have strong product-market fit and world-class investor support. We’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.
Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.
At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.
ROLE OVERVIEW
As Harvey's founding Director of Government Affairs and Public Policy, you will build the function responsible for how Harvey engages with governments, regulators, judiciaries, and the institutions shaping the future of AI in legal and professional services — in the US and globally.
This is a senior leadership role reporting directly to the Chief Strategy Officer. The primary emphasis is on public policy: educating and informing policymakers, building Harvey's credibility as a substantive, trusted voice in consequential conversations about AI governance, the future of the legal profession, and access to justice.
The scope spans federal, state, and local bodies in the US, EMEA and APAC — where bar associations, state licensing authorities, and judicial and legislative actions are currently setting the most consequential AI policy. You will own the overall strategy and engagement framework, build the company's presence from a standing start, and hire the regional team beneath you as the function grows.
