Seyfarth Shaw Hiring KM Director as "Primary Architect" of Firmwide KM Strategy — Reports to CISDO, Partners With Chief Data & AI Officer

Seyfarth Shaw posted a Director of Knowledge Management role that is among the most structurally sophisticated KM job descriptions in the current market: the role serves as "primary architect of the firm's knowledge management strategy," reports to the Chief Innovation, Strategy & Design Officer, and explicitly partners with the Chief Data & AI Officer to align KM assets with the firm's data ecosystem for analytics, semantic search, automation, and responsible AI. The responsibilities include establishing firmwide taxonomy, metadata standards, and knowledge architecture, and defining requirements for AI-enabled search and retrieval capabilities — including "how knowledge, experience data, expertise, and matter context should surface in lawyer workflows." This role description illustrates how the KM function is being repositioned at the most advanced firms: not as a service function for attorneys but as a data and infrastructure architecture function that directly governs AI performance.
