Meet the Personal Injury team 

The Personal Injury team is a specialist division within LEAP, focused on building software for personal injury lawyers. We’re a cross-functional team of legal professionals, software engineers, designers, and client-focused specialists, working closely together to deliver practical products used every day by PI firms. 

Our work is guided by in-house Australian Personal Injury Lawyers and informed by a well-established client feedback function, ensuring our products are shaped by real legal practice and continue to evolve in line with how lawyers actually work. 

What you'll do

The team’s Personal Injury Specialist acts as the vital link between legal practice and technology. You will provide expert guidance to legal teams and developers to ensure our software effectively supports personal injury litigation for both plaintiff and defendant matters. Your goal is to optimize our tools to streamline matter management, legal research, documentation, and settlement processes for PI firms.

To make this happen, you will:

• Collaborate with product managers to design and prioritize PI-specific features based on industry trends and client feedback. 

• Provide insights into PI legal workflows, documentation, and regulatory changes to ensure software accuracy. 

• Conduct user testing and provide detailed feedback to ensure applications meet the practical needs of PI law firms. 

• Work directly with law firms to provide training and ongoing support on matter evaluation and settlement tracking. 

• Iterate on software functionality to reduce errors and streamline case management processes. 

• Monitor the personal injury sector to identify emerging trends that should be reflected in future updates. 

What you'll bring

• 2 – 3+ years PQE of practical personal injury experience, ideally with exposure to majority plaintiff matters.
• Strong understanding of both common law and statutory schemes within the NSW jurisdiction.
• Experience with legal technology and a keen interest in how automation can reduce administrative burdens for law firms.
• In-depth understanding of the litigation lifecycle, from initial intake and medical discovery to settlement negotiations and trial preparation.
• User-centric perspective with the ability to evaluate UI/UX design to ensure it meets the needs of busy legal professionals.

You are the type of person who

• Has a strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate complex legal workflows into clear, structured requirements for developers.
• Is an effective communicator, able to convey complex legal concepts to non-legal stakeholders and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams.
• Is a creative and solutions-focused thinker, comfortable tackling non-standard challenges.
• Is curious and driven to stay up to date with industry trends and best practices.
• Is adaptable and flexible, able to respond quickly to feedback and changing project needs.
• Is transparent in approach, clearly communicating progress and roadmaps to ensure alignment with business priorities.

LEAP is an inclusive, people-first company committed to breaking down institutional barriers that keep people from reaching their potential. If you meet some, but not all the requirements above, we encourage you to still submit your application.
