Legal Product Champion

Job description

THE WORLD’S LARGEST LAW FIRM WON’T BE A LAW FIRM. JOIN US IN BUILDING IT. August allows law firms to compound their expertise by building an autonomous organization of AI agents that run the firm's knowledge work. We partner closely with our firms and grow alongside them through sharing revenue on our agents and equity in the firms we transform. We believe that in five years, more than 95% of legal work will be concentrated among a select few elite law firms. The firms that get there will be the ones that rebuild how they deliver it. We're partnering with those firms and building the engine they run on to become the biggest legal service provider in the world. We invest in partnerships, not just licenses. We sell finished legal work alongside our firms and take a share of what it earns. This enables them to scale their services and lets us grow along with it. That means we’re chasing the legal services market ($1T), which dwarfs the global legal tech market ($40b). The problem is hard. An engine of agents sits underneath every matter we touch, connected to every step of a lawyer's workflow, in an industry where there is no margin for error. We’re challenged with building the perfectly accurate, infallibly secure, and yet all-powerful engine for legal work. We're already live with several excellent firms and the early results are better than we expected. Lean team, in person, New York, backed by leading investors, growing fast. Every role at August is a chance to remake an industry while the window is open. JOIN US IN BUILDING THE AUTOPILOT FOR LEGAL SERVICES Today, legal work is done the way it has been done for a century — manually, by humans, in six-minute increments. Every contract drafted from scratch. Every memo researched line by line. Every matter running through layers of review that someone is paying for at hundreds of dollars an hour. That is about to change. We believe that in five years, more than 80% of legal work will pass through a model before it ever reaches a human. The implication is not faster lawyers — it is a fundamentally different way that legal services get bought and procured. Our mission is to make high-quality legal work accessible and affordable for everyone. We are going after the services spend, not the software spend — helping law firms restructure their delivery model around AI, and helping in-house teams do the same. One engine of agents and workflows underneath every matter we touch. We are a lean, in-person based in New York City, backed by leading investors and growing fast. Every role at August is a chance to remake an industry while the window is open. THE ROLE: LEGAL PRODUCT CHAMPION This role doesn’t sit neatly in a box. It’s part lawyer, part product thinker, part trusted partner to our clients. As a Legal Product Champion, you’ll help midsized law firms adopt August, guide them through change, and show them how AI can be a real competitive edge. You’ll be the lawyer’s voice inside August — translating practice needs into product insights, influencing roadmap priorities, and helping us build tools lawyers actually use. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Partner with firms: Build trust with partners, associates, and innovation teams; advise them on where AI fits into their workflows. - Drive adoption: Lead pilots, onboarding, and rollouts across practice groups and firms. - Translate practice into product: Capture lawyer pain points and opportunities, feeding directly into product and engineering conversations. - Create scalable playbooks: Develop training, resources, and case studies that make adoption smoother across clients. - Show impact: Help firms measure ROI and highlight wins — from faster drafting to better client service. - Shape the role: This is a new function at August. You’ll help define what “Legal Product” means here as we scale. WHAT YOU BRING - JD required, with 2–6 years practicing law at a law firm (BigLaw or leading midsized). - Deep understanding of law firm workflows (litigation or corporate). - A curiosity about AI and technology and how they can reshape practice. - Strong communicator: credible with senior partners, relatable to associates, clear with engineers. - Comfort navigating ambiguous, fast-moving environments. - A builder’s mindset — proactive, hands-on, and focused on impact over perfection. BENEFITS - Medical insurance coverage - Flexible PTO - Parental Leave - Centralized office equipment ordering for all employees - Equinox or Chelsea Piers gym membership - In-office perks: lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, and more - Budget for intra-office travel - Team-building events - Relocation support to NYC (as needed) WHY JOIN AUGUST - Founding Impact: Shape not just your role but the company. - Uncapped Upside: Competitive base + commission, early equity ownership. - Top-tier Team: Work alongside people who move fast, think clearly, and care deeply. - Category-Defining Work: Help build the first true AI agents for the legal profession. - Fast Growth: Scale your career as we scale the company. - In-person in NYC: Collaborative, talent dense and high energy environment - Global Reach: Our clients span 4 continents and use August in multiple languages and jurisdictions - Frontier of Applied AI: August has access to proprietary data inaccessible to foundation model providers. We build agents to automate all challenging knowledge work.
