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.

You will own hiring, onboarding, coaching, and performance management while partnering closely with Sales, Marketing, and RevOps to build a scalable pipeline generation engine.

Design onboarding and enablement: Partner with GTM enablement to create onboarding and ongoing training programs that ramp SDRs quickly and build strong product, industry, and prospecting expertise.
Partner cross-functionally: Collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, and RevOps to improve lead routing, campaign effectiveness, and pipeline conversion.
Refine targeting and messaging: Continuously test and improve outbound strategies, messaging, and account targeting based on ICP fit and performance insights.
Leverage data and tools: Use platforms such as Salesforce, Salesloft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Gong, and ZoomInfo to track team performance and optimize workflows.
Build a strong team culture: Foster a high-performance culture grounded in ownership, learning, and collaboration.
