Next Level Law is also applied to our people. Our collegiate culture means everyone is encouraged to achieve their next level in everything they do. RollOnFriday recently ranked us as the 6th best law firm to work at in 2026. With our ambition to succeed, comes a strong desire to make a positive contribution to the communities we serve, and we are committed to delivering the objectives set out in our ESG strategy. Diversity plays an integral part in all that we do, with female partners comprising 42% of our partnership. The team you will join The AI capability sits within Birketts' Information Technology function, working closely with Product Development, Knowledge Management, Learning & Development, Security and Risk & Compliance. Delivery will be product-led and iterative, with a small cross-functional working group using matrixed resources across teams. The role will operate within Birketts' core ecosystem, including Microsoft 365 (Copilot), iManage (Document Management), Aderant Expert (Practice Management), Intapp Intake (new client onboarding) and Microsoft Fabric (data platform). Azure is a likely hosting platform for any future 'Birketts-approved AI environment', subject to requirements and build vs buy decisions. The work you will be doing As AI Technical Lead, you will be a hands-on technical leader within Birketts' IT team, working in close partnership with the Product Manager for AI. Your focus will be to turn early AI usage into safe, repeatable and supported capabilities-starting with productising M365 Copilot and Copilot Agents in priority workflows (document drafting/review and knowledge workflows in selected practice areas) and delivering practical integrations into Birketts' existing systems. This is a hands-on role: alongside shaping standards and enablement, you will write and ship code where needed to deliver small integrations, automations and repeatable AI-enabled workflows. This role is delivery-oriented: you will design, build and ship incremental improvements, partnering with colleagues across Development, Data, Security, Knowledge Management and Learning & Development to drive adoption, skills sharing and effective change management. You will also support evidence-based build vs buy decisions on specialist third-party legal tools and any future 'Birketts-approved AI environment'. Platform architecture and security governance will be delivered in collaboration with Birketts' wider Technology and Information Security leadership.

You may be required by your line manager to take on additional responsibilities when requested. What we are looking for This role is well suited to a hands-on technical lead who enjoys building and improving products in partnership with product management and users. You will be able to translate business needs into secure, auditable and integrated solutions, and you will be comfortable delivering in a matrixed model, bringing others along through coaching, documentation and shared patterns. You will be comfortable coding as part of delivery, not only producing guidance and patterns.
