Overview At MoFo, we couldn’t write our own success story without yours. Ready to write your story? Join MoFo as PROGRAM MANAGER, INNOVATION BUSINESS ANALYSIS on our Innovation team! This role can be based in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, New York or Washington, D.C. https://www.mofo.com/offices About The Role The Program Manager of Innovation Business Analysis is the strategic "engine room" of the Innovation team. Reporting directly to the Director of Practice Innovation & Technology, this high-impact role blends program management, strategic communications, and business analysis to drive the firm’s most critical AI and GenAI initiatives. We are looking for a candidate who can navigate complex data, build compelling executive narratives (PPT), and manage stakeholders. You will be orchestrating the program’s visibility and ensuring every SteerCo, report, and communication is world-class, with a specific focus on scaling AI enablement across the entire firm. • Firm-wide AI Enablement & Adoption Strategy • Strategic Roadmap: Design and lead the "last mile" of firm-wide AI adoption. You will move beyond basic training to create a comprehensive enablement strategy that ensures AI tools and agentic workflows are integrated into the daily fabric of legal practice. • Practice Group Advisory: Serve as a high-touch consultative partner to practice group leaders. Diagnose substantive legal workflows and prescribe specific AI-driven solutions that solve high-value pain points. • Change Management: Own the communication lifecycle and change management strategy. You will develop the narratives that move attorneys from "awareness" to "trust" and "habitual use" of AI technology. • Internal Thought Leadership: Identify "power users" and success stories within specific groups; package these wins into tailored internal case studies and thought leadership to drive viral, peer-to-peer adoption. • Program Orchestration & Executive Reporting • SteerCo & Leadership Readiness: Own the end-to-end preparation for Steering Committee meetings and leadership updates. You will be responsible for synthesizing complex project updates into high-impact, executive-ready presentations (PPT) and briefings. • Program Tracking: Act as the "air traffic controller" for innovation initiatives, ensuring all stakeholders and peers are tracking against milestones and providing necessary inputs on time. • Strategic Storytelling: Translate raw program updates and adoption data into a cohesive narrative that demonstrates ROI, progress, and strategic alignment with firm goals. • Business Analysis & Data Insights • Rigorous Analysis: Apply a "Business Analyst" lens to innovation. Leverage technology usage data and adoption metrics to identify trends, uncover regional or practice-level gaps, and "tell the story" of how technology is changing firm-wide efficiency. • KPI Development: Define and track the metrics that matter. Move beyond "logins" to measure true value, efficiency gains, and the "human side" of technology ROI. • Ad-Hoc Analysis: Conduct deep dives into practice group performance or vendor efficacy to provide data-backed recommendations for future innovation investments. • Stakeholder & Vendor Management • Peer Orchestration: Manage relationships with peers in IT, Marketing, and Practice Support to ensure cross-functional alignment on innovation rollouts and AI messaging. • Vendor Strategy: Partner with legal tech vendors to customize their enablement materials, ensuring they speak the "firm’s language" and address MoFo-specific use cases. About You • Education: Bachelor’s degree required. MBA or JD is a plus but not required if you have equivalent "battle-tested" experience in professional services or strategy. • Experience: Proven track record of managing complex programs with multiple stakeholders and leading large-scale change initiatives. • Skills: Exceptional written and verbal communication; strong analytical skills; expert-level slide design and storytelling. • The Profile: You likely have 4+ years of experience in management consulting, business analysis, program management, or a Chief of Staff role, ideally in a professional services environment. • GenAI Enthusiast: You are genuinely excited about the frontier of Artificial Intelligence. You don’t just use the tools; you think about how they transform the nature of work and the business of law. • PPT & Data Power User: You are a master of PowerPoint and Excel/data visualization tools. You can take a messy spreadsheet or a vague idea and turn it into a crisp, persuasive executive deck. • High Agency: You don't wait for instructions. You see a gap in a process, a communication, or a report and you fill it. You are comfortable "managing up" to ensure the program moves forward. • The Translator: You can sit with a partner to understand a complex legal workflow and then pivot to discuss technical requirements with a developer, translating the needs of both perfectly.
