Legal AI Architect

About Manifest

Manifest O.S. is an AI-native company on a mission to replace the billable hour and make legal services more accessible for American businesses and consumers. We power the next generation of AI-native law firms with one unified global brand, a proprietary technology platform, and a centralized back office — enabling lawyers to eliminate administrative burden and focus on delivering exceptional outcomes for their clients. Backed by leading venture investors, Manifest O.S. is scaling rapidly.

About the Role

Manifest sits at the intersection of immigration law and enterprise software — and our buying process reflects that. When a prospect asks how we'd handle their H-1B cap strategy or whether our PERM approach is different from their current firm, the answer needs to come from a lawyer, not a sales deck.

That's why this role exists:

• Our B2B AEs run discovery and drive the commercial motion. The Immigration Solutions Consultant sits alongside them as the licensed legal voice — translating prospect pain points into clear, substantive explanations of how Manifest thinks and works differently, and ensuring every conversation that requires legal judgment has an attorney in the room.
• This isn't a traditional legal role, and it isn't a sales role. It's for an attorney who's energized by the commercial side of legal services, comfortable in a fast-moving deal environment, and skilled at making complex immigration concepts land with HR, Legal, and business stakeholders.

What You’ll Do

• Join B2B AEs on discovery calls and prospect meetings as the licensed legal voice in the room
• Diagnose each prospect's immigration program, workforce challenges, and compliance concerns through a lawyer's lens
• Translate prospect pain points into clear, credible explanations of how Manifest creates better outcomes — without crossing into legal advice
• Answer substantive immigration questions, validate program design assumptions, and give prospects the confidence to move forward
• Own the legal narrative in RFPs, proposals, and solution documentation
• Help the B2B team understand what matters legally to each stakeholder and how to frame Manifest's differentiation
• Bridge sales and Manifest's attorneys — ensuring what we promise in a deal is grounded in what our legal team can deliver
• Build out RFP libraries and legal positioning content that scales your expertise across the team
• Surface insights from the sales cycle to Product — translating what prospects are asking for and reacting to into actionable feedback
• Help design the guardrails, frameworks, and evaluation criteria that make AI outputs reliable and defensible for legal work

What We’re Looking For

• Active bar admission required; 3–6 years of US corporate immigration law experience
• Deep working knowledge of H-1B, O-1, TN, PERM, and EB-series at the program level
• Strong commercial instinct — you know what buyers need to hear to build trust and can deliver it with authority
• Comfortable in a structured sales process alongside AEs — familiar with discovery, deal cycles, and stakeholder mapping
• Exceptional communicator — able to make complex immigration concepts land clearly for CHROs, HR leaders, and in-house counsel
• High EQ and executive presence — you read the room, build credibility fast, and know when to speak and when to listen
• Clear understanding of ethical boundaries around legal advice in a sales context
• Client-facing law firm or in-house immigration experience a strong plus
• Startup mindset — thrives in ambiguity, energized by building, comfortable operating across legal and commercial functions

This is for you if…

You're a technically strong immigration attorney who's drawn to the business side of legal services. What energizes you is the conversation in the room — diagnosing what a prospect is really struggling with and giving them a credible answer that moves things forward. You want real commercial impact without spending your career billing hours.

This is not for you if…

You want to practice immigration law in a traditional sense, build a caseload, or stay firmly on the legal delivery side of the business. This role requires genuine comfort at the intersection of law and commercial process — and a real interest in being part of how deals get done, not just how cases get filed.
