Harvey is an AI platform transforming legal and professional services through frontier agentic AI and enterprise-grade infrastructure. The Head of Social Impact will define and drive Harvey's global social impact and access-to-justice agenda as a senior leader within the Responsible Business function.
In this role, you will:
- Define and lead Harvey's global social impact strategy with specific focus on access to justice, including clear priorities, principles, and multi-year goals
- Design, pilot, and scale high-impact programmes and partnerships with civil society, justice sector organisations, professional bodies, and multilateral institutions
- Build and manage a portfolio of external relationships (NGOs, community organisations, bar associations, etc.) that advance impact objectives and inform product and policy choices
- Develop coherent external narrative for Harvey's social impact work in partnership with Communications, Marketing, and Leadership
- Establish practical, outcomes-oriented approaches to impact measurement and learning, translating insights into recommendations for product, policy, and go-to-market teams
- Serve as internal expert on social impact and access to justice, providing guidance and frameworks to help product, commercial, and policy teams make decisions aligned with Harvey's impact commitments
You will work closely with leaders across product, partnerships, legal, and people to embed impact into how Harvey builds and deploys legal AI. This is an opportunity to build a modern, outcomes-driven social impact function in a fast-moving company reshaping legal work, operating autonomously within a small, agile team.
Harvey is a venture-backed company founded in 2022, headquartered in San Francisco, with strong product-market fit and world-class investor support. The company operates with three core values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Significant experience (typically 7+ years) designing and leading social impact, public interest, or community-focused programmes in complex organisations
- Track record of building strategic partnerships across different types of organisations (civil society, community-based organisations, justice sector actors, educational institutions, advocacy groups) and delivering tangible outcomes
- Demonstrated ability to translate high-level missions (access to justice, equity, inclusion) into clear strategies, programmes, and decision frameworks that non-specialists can understand and act on
- Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-changing environments; ability to build from scratch, set direction with incomplete information, and iterate quickly based on feedback and learning
- Strong communication and stakeholder skills; ability to represent an organisation externally with credibility, facilitate alignment among diverse partners, and handle sensitive or contested topics with nuance
- Informed interest in opportunities and risks of AI in society, with willingness to engage deeply with implications of deploying legal AI in justice ecosystems
