ABOUT DRAFTWISE
Draftwise is a contract drafting, review, and negotiation AI powered by your legal knowledge. We turn a firm's guidance, precedent, and language into a legal ontology, ground our models in it, and run complex drafting, review, and search workflows directly within Microsoft Word and in the browser.
We serve top law firms and legal departments globally, including over half the Vault 10, dozens of Am Law 100 firms, and Fortune 500 organizations. We are headquartered in NYC with offices in London and West Palm Beach, are Y Combinator alumni, and raised a $20M Series A from Index Ventures.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
We are looking for a Deployment Strategist to embed with leading law firms, discover where Draftwise can create transformational value, and turn that discovery into outcomes for customers and repeatable product capabilities.
This is a forward-deployed role. The center of gravity is product discovery in the field: learning how lawyers actually work, identifying the highest-value problems, and understanding the documents, data, systems, and organizational constraints behind them. You will be accountable for driving transformational outcomes for the customer. Those outcomes must be demonstrable and measurable.
You will move comfortably between conversations with managing partners and C-level executives, working sessions with associates and knowledge teams, and technical discussions with customer IT and Draftwise engineers. You will distill what you learn into clear product requirements, scope them with Product, Engineering, and ML, track them through delivery, and validate the result with users.
Every engagement should create leverage beyond a single customer. You will distinguish one-off requests from recurring needs and help turn validated patterns into reusable product capabilities, evaluations, configurations, and playbooks.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Embed with customers, often onsite, to observe how partners, associates, knowledge professionals, innovation teams, and IT teams work, and uncover high-value problems they may not yet be able to articulate.
- Define the customer outcome before prescribing a solution, then map the workflows, decisions, documents, data, systems, organizational constraints, and incentives that shape where and how Draftwise can create the greatest value.
- Work directly with customer documents, data, systems, and Draftwise tools to test feasibility and determine where AI can create transformational value.
- Distill user and customer needs into clear product requirements; scope them with Product, Engineering, and ML; make trade-offs; track the work; and drive it through delivery.
- Build and configure prototypes, demos, data transformations, lightweight automations, and evaluations; put them in front of real users early and iterate from evidence.
- Identify which needs are customer-specific and which reveal repeatable patterns; help turn validated patterns into reusable platform capabilities, configurations, evaluations, and playbooks.
- Present findings, requirements, trade-offs, and outcomes credibly to managing partners, customer IT, frontline users, and Draftwise teams, using field evidence to shape what we build next.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- 3+ years of experience in deployment strategy, forward-deployed work, product discovery, solutions engineering or consulting, or another customer-facing technical role where you owned outcomes in complex environments.
- A track record of taking ambiguous, high-stakes customer problems from discovery, to clear product requirements, to shipped solutions that produced material customer outcomes.
- Strong analytical judgment and the instinct to get beneath stated requirements and understand the workflow, the data, the organizational dynamics, the real constraints, and where value is ultimately created.
- Strong technical fluency and hands-on experience with modern AI tools. You can query data, work with APIs and data models, stand up a prototype or automation, use AI coding tools as a force multiplier, and critically evaluate their outputs and limitations.
- Exceptional written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the range to work credibly with executives, lawyers, technical teams, and frontline users.
- The delivery discipline to scope ambiguous work, make trade-offs, manage dependencies, track progress, and keep a cross-functional team oriented around the customer outcome.
- High ownership, low ego, sound judgment, and willingness to travel and spend meaningful time onsite with customers.
