Legal Research Manager | Fully Remote
Harbor is hiring an experienced Legal Research Manager to lead research services for several law firm clients. This is a role for someone who enjoys variety: different clients, practice areas, research challenges, and teams.
At Harbor, legal research is our business. You’ll be part of a large community of librarians and information professionals, with colleagues to learn from, share expertise with, and call on when a question takes an unexpected turn. Because we work across multiple firms, you’ll see a wider range of research needs and approaches—and help shape how excellent research is delivered.
The profession is changing quickly as AI takes on more routine tasks. We see an opportunity for skilled researchers to take on the complex questions that call for sound judgment, careful evaluation, and reliable sources. You’ll help Harbor explore new tools while keeping research accurate, thoughtful, and useful.
What you’ll do
You’ll bring strong research skills, leadership experience, curiosity, and an interest in both the work itself and helping others grow. The role combines hands-on research judgment with team leadership and client partnership.
The details
This is a full-time, fully remote position open to candidates anywhere in the United States or Canada. There are two available schedules: Monday–Friday, 2:00–11:00PM Eastern / 11:00AM–8:00PM Pacific or Monday–Friday,11:00AM – 8:00PM Eastern / 8:00AM – 5:00PM Pacific. You’ll work as part of a broad research team, with colleagues sharing expertise and coverage.
Qualifications include an MLIS or equivalent, at least five years of legal research, competitive intelligence, or knowledge-services experience, and at least three years of research leadership experience. Familiarity with major legal research platforms is also expected.
If you enjoy varied work, complex research questions, and helping define how the profession evolves, we’d like to hear from you.
