Manifest OS is an AI-native legal tech company on a mission to replace the billable hour and make legal services more accessible. The company has raised $60M Series A from top-tier VCs (Menlo Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, First Round, Quiet Capital) and is building a platform that powers next-generation AI-native law firms with unified branding, proprietary technology, and centralized operations.
The Corporate Development Lead role owns the end-to-end integration of lateral attorneys and acquired practices joining the Manifest platform. This is a deliberately wide role spanning strategy, operations, product, marketing, and legal operations.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning the integration playbook: define what success looks like, build repeatable systems, and execute flawlessly so nothing falls through the cracks
- Launching new partners with impact: create go-to-market moments for each joining attorney through messaging, storytelling, webinars, and events
- Championing attorney experience: ensure joining Manifest feels like an upgrade through marketing support, profile-building, and genuine practice investment
- Bringing practices onto the platform: collaborate with product, ops, and legal leadership on case migration, workflows, billing, and staffing transitions
- Owning high-touch relationships: manage dinners, events, client introductions, and personal details that build trust
- Converting integrations into institutional knowledge: learn from each attorney who joins and feed insights back into sharper playbooks
- Tracking integration health: define milestones, measure outcomes, and surface risks early
Ideal candidate has 7+ years in strategy & operations, product, consulting, chief-of-staff, or senior generalist roles with broad ownership and cross-functional execution. Product experience working closely with engineering teams is essential. M&A, post-merger integration, or senior-hire onboarding exposure required. Must have a track record of owning measurable outcomes, high relationship EQ, and sharp communication skills. Based in NYC, willing to work from Flatiron office five days per week.
