Benesch is proud to announce the opening for a Director of Knowledge Management
in our Cleveland office! This position is hybrid and has work from home flexibility.

Are you searching for the challenge of building, establishing and creating, from the ground up, a cutting-edge knowledge management department? Are you looking for an opportunity to work with and report directly to C-Suites to see this vision of growth take shape? Have you been looking for an opportunity to tie your knowledge management experience to assessing and meeting the demands of an organization's clientele?

Then our opening for a Director of Knowledge Management is the opportunity you've been waiting for! This role is for the individual who is looking to own the full lifecycle and development of Benesch's newly created knowledge management department and help it climb the AmLaw ladder.

The Director of Knowledge Management will build, lead, and scale the Firm's Knowledge Management function. As a foundational component of the Innovation Department, Knowledge Management will serve as the institutional infrastructure that makes practice transformation, responsible AI deployment, and legal workflow redesign possible. The Director is charged with moving the Firm from a repository model of knowledge management to a modern, AI-enabled knowledge function that captures, curates, and surfaces the Firm's collective expertise at the point of need within practice workflows.

This hands‑on senior builder role will expand as the Firm's needs and capabilities mature.

The Director of Knowledge Management owns the knowledge curation lifecycle, serves as the Innovation team's primary practice-facing touchpoint for understanding deep practice needs and translating them into scalable innovation priorities. The Director also partners with Information Governance and Data Governance on shared taxonomy and data classification and serves as the primary internal source of governed practice content.
