About Lawhive
We're on a mission to make sure everyone has access to the law.
Lawhive is an online platform for consumers and small businesses to get legal help for a fraction of the cost of a law firm. Our
platform combines regulated human lawyers collaborating alongside the world’s first AI lawyer, specifically built for consumer
legal work.
Equal access to the law is one of the biggest and most pressing unsolved problems in society today. We’re passionate about
leveling the playing field and believe access to the law should be a basic utility in society.
Our AI lawyer Lawrence is built on top of our own fine tuned LLM and recently passed the UK’s bar exam equivalent.
We’re backed by some of the top US and UK VC funds including Google Ventures, Balderton Capital and TQ Ventures. We recently
secured a $40M Series A funding round to facilitate international expansion and to grow our team, representing one of the five
largest Series A rounds in Europe for 2024.

DATA AT LAWHIVE We are building the world's first AI-native consumer law firm, and the data foundations underneath it have to match that ambition. Over the next 12 months, the data function will: * Build out our data stack to enable ingestion, analysis and processing of a growing corpus of data, both to support BI and AI use-cases * Drive data as a product with AI-native consumption so that anyone in the group can explore, dig into, and act on data without filing a ticket * Build the integration playbook for law firms as we expand our firm portfolio. We need a canonical Lawhive data model that scales to all law firms and types of legal work Our current stack: BigQuery, dbt, Hex, Dagster, K8s, Elementary, Claude Code, GCP and AWS infrastructure. We’ll look for strong opinions on best practices and technologies as we scale. THE ROLE As Head of Data, you'll lead Lawhive's data function through a step-change in capability. Reporting directly to our CTO, Jaime, you'll own the data stack, build the data integration capability for acquired firms, and run a small high-quality team that partners with every function in the business. This role is for someone who has done it before. You've migrated a scaleup's data stack end-to-end. You've integrated acquired-company data into a canonical model. You're AI-native in how you work and in what you build. And you're comfortable telling a CTO "this stack is wrong, and here's what we do instead." WHAT YOU'LL DO * Design and own the acquisition data integration playbook. Build a canonical Lawhive data model that future systems map to. Make firm onboarding a repeatable weeks-not-months process * Partner with Strategy on metric definition. You own instrumentation, semantic layer, and accuracy. They own the metric tree. Together, you run the metric council * Diagnose and improve our data stack in your first 12 months. Propose a target architecture against our goals of AI-native self-serve-first analytics (warehouse, modelling, semantic layer, BI, exploration). Replace tools where needed * Make Lawhive self-serve on data. Build the platform, modelling, and semantic layer that lets business users explore, drill in, and answer their own questions * Define and enforce data quality SLAs. Freshness, accuracy, ownership coverage, end-to-end lineage * Lead and grow the data team. Coach analysts into stronger cross-functional partners. Hire and onboard a data integration engineer in year 1 * Drive AI-native practices inside the data function. Use LLMs for entity resolution, schema mapping, data quality, and exploration. Set the bar for how a data team works in 2026 * Be a key cross-functional partner to Product, Engineering, Finance, Strategy, and the operational teams within acquired firms WHAT YOU'LL BRING You'll be a great fit for this role if: * You're commercially literate. You can partner with functional heads as a peer and translate business questions into data infrastructure * You've owned a data stack end-to-end at a B2B SaaS scaleup. You can walk us through what you built, changed, why, and what you'd do differently * You've built repeatable data integration patterns at an M&A-heavy company or rollup. Ideally, a B2B SaaS context. You know how to handle messy legacy systems and conflicting schemas * You have strong opinions on the modern data stack and data modelling best practices: warehouse, modelling, semantic layer, BI tooling, exploration. You can defend trade-offs * You're AI-native in your craft. You use Cursor, Claude, dbt AI, agentic notebooks daily. You've shipped AI features inside a data team (LLMs for entity resolution, schema mapping, data quality, exploration). You think LLMs change how data work gets done structurally, not just incrementally Nice-to-haves: * Experience standing up a semantic layer (LookML, Cube, dbt semantic layer) * Background at a PE-backed software rollup or M&A-heavy SaaS * Familiarity with legal services, legal tech, or regulated marketplaces INTERVIEW PROCESS * Introductory call with our Talent team * 1:1 with our CTO * Practical and Technical assessment: stack diagnosis and migration approach on an anonymised Lawhive context * Values interview with our Founders * We offer!
