## Job description

## About Norm Ai

Norm Ai, the agentic law company, has a client base with a combined $30 trillion in assets under management.

Norm Ai pioneered Legal Engineering, the process that empowers lawyers to build and supervise domain-specific AI agents with Norm’s proprietary suite of no-code software tools. Norm Ai technology is deployed inside many of the largest and most consequential institutions in the world.

Norm Ai is also the technology behind Norm Law, LLP, a separate but affiliated AI-native law firm built for the era of agentic AI. Norm Law’s attorneys advise leading institutions across private funds, private equity, venture capital, real estate, registered funds, and financial regulation, using the same legal intelligence platform that powers Norm Ai’s products.

AI Fluency: Norm Ai expects all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end.

Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes. We look for practical, hands-on experience, not theoretical familiarity.

- Maintain a strong pulse on the talent market and provide insights on competitive hiring trends.
- Represent Norm Ai, helping to define and build our employer brand and candidate pitch.
- Track and report on pipeline metrics and recruiting performance.

## CORE QUALIFICATIONS

- Proven track record of attracting top talent.
- Thrive in ambiguity and enjoy building from scratch.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence cross functional partners.
- Are based in or willing to relocate to NYC, and comfortable working in a hybrid model.

## NICE TO HAVES
