The job
- What you'd do
- Lead and coach a team of salespeople who sell AI software to big companies' in-house legal departments in the UK and Ireland. You'll also win new customers yourself and set the team's weekly prospecting targets.
- What you'd sell
AI tools that help law firms with legal research
When a law firm has to answer a legal question, a lawyer usually digs through the source materials themselves. The problem is, that work is slow and high stakes, and one missed detail can hurt a client. Harvey builds AI tools for law firms and other professional services firms, so lawyers can get to the answer faster.

Questions to ask on the first call
Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.
- 1.
How is time split between managing the team and carrying your own number?
Two jobs, one paycheck. Find out which one wins when time runs out.
- 2.
What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?
OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.
- 3.
What are the base and the OTE for this role?
No point investing hours before you know the number.
- 4.
What's the annual quota, and how was it set?
A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.
- 5.
What share of last year's closed deals did reps source themselves?
Shows how much pipeline you'll have to build on your own.
- 6.
Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?
New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.
› When the offer comes
Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.
- 1.
Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?
What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.
- 2.
Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?
The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.
- 3.
I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?
Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.
