About the Job

Requirements

  • A Master's degree in Law and substantial subject-matter expertise in at least one legal domain, with familiarity with the practice of smaller law firms and in-house counsel.
  • Demonstrable experience with legal content and knowledge management in a legal-tech environment.
  • Ability to translate legal expertise into machine-consumable knowledge structures while preserving legal nuance and reliability.
  • Experience working with taxonomies, ontologies, metadata, content models, and knowledge graphs, and understanding how legal content should be enriched, structured, and tagged to support reliable, contextual AI outputs.
  • Sound understanding of generative artificial intelligence, retrieval, retrieval-augmented generation, reasoning, and agentic workflows, and the ability to assess their impact on legal knowledge products.
  • Ability to analyze quality signals and usage data and turn them into concrete content recommendations.
  • Ability to think in knowledge structures, concepts, relationships, and reasoning paths, not only documents.
  • Ability to view legal information from the end-user perspective and translate complex legal questions into useful knowledge structures, content types, and AI use cases.
  • Ability to critically assess AI answers for legal correctness, completeness, source use, reproducibility of reasoning, and practical usefulness.
  • Ability to collaborate in cross-functional teams and work comfortably with product and engineering terminology, translating between legal content and product teams.
  • Ability to persuade stakeholders and bring them along in decisions about content modeling, knowledge structures, and AI quality.
  • Ability to identify how legal knowledge can be structured for digital applications.
  • Curiosity and willingness to learn about new developments, understand and evaluate new technologies, and work at the intersection of law, data, content, artificial intelligence, and digital innovation.
  • Interest in artificial intelligence, legal technology, and knowledge management; programming is not required, but the candidate should want to understand how systems reason and use legal knowledge.
  • Understanding of metadata, structure, and knowledge architecture.
  • Ability to work as a sparring partner for subject-matter experts and product and AI teams.
  • Organization, structure, and results orientation, including ensuring deadlines are met.
  • Comfort working in a changing environment and contributing to new methods, processes, and content strategies.
  • Relationship-management ability, including establishing and maintaining working relationships.
  • Willingness to work at least two days per week in the Mechelen office.

Responsibilities

  • Act as a legal quality gatekeeper by providing input on, testing, validating, and exchanging feedback about AI results.
  • Analyze quality signals and evaluation data, identify content causes of incorrect or weak AI answers, and implement targeted content fixes.
  • Help establish rubric-based evaluations comparing graph and retrieval-augmented-generation approaches, with and without a graph.
  • Analyze existing content types, design new ones, and roll them out; convert templates, checklists, playbooks, guidelines, Q&As, and practical guides into actionable formats that map a situation to a required action, including gap analysis and prioritization by domain and market.
  • Contribute to the legal interpretation of documents and questions.
  • Contribute to modeling AI-supported legal document research focused on speed, precision, and reproducible reasoning.
  • Enrich and validate knowledge graphs by modeling legal concepts, rules, authorities, and relationships.
  • Assess existing legal content for its value to AI tools, identify structural gaps, and provide input for extraction, normalization, and enrichment.
  • Advise product, content, and AI teams on how to model, structure, and use legal knowledge to continually improve AI-answer quality.
