About the Company
Our partner is a high-growth, venture-backed legal tech startup building AI-powered software for law firms. Their team is tackling a deeply painful workflow for attorneys: timekeeping and billable-hour capture. Their product helps legal teams reduce missed billable time, improve revenue capture, and replace outdated legacy systems in a highly sticky market. The company is already live in more than 100 law firms and has experienced rapid recent growth in both revenue and headcount.
The Opportunity
Our partner is hiring an Account Executive to join their growing go-to-market team in New York. This is a strong fit for someone who wants to sell a product with clear ROI, work closely with a high-performing early team, and have meaningful ownership in a fast-moving environment. The role combines closing with self-sourced pipeline generation and offers the chance to help expand the company’s footprint across the legal market, including larger enterprise firms.
This is an opportunity to join a company at an inflection point. Their team is small, collaborative, and high-accountability, with a strong emphasis on execution, ownership, and professionalism in front of customers. The ideal candidate is energized by early-stage growth, comfortable wearing multiple hats, and excited to contribute beyond a narrowly defined sales motion.
