Legal Engineer

Why join Ivo?

Every civilization runs on the same infrastructure: agreements between people who don't fully trust each other. Sumerians pressed them into clay. Romans carved them into stone. We bury them in 80-page PDFs.

The way those agreements are reviewed hasn't changed in four thousand years - a human reads the whole thing and tries not to miss anything. We're building the AI that finally changes that. Ivo is the contract intelligence platform of choice for companies like Uber, Meta, Canva, IBM, and Shopify. We recently raised our Series B and have grown 800% over the last 12 months.

Overview

We’re looking for a Legal Engineer with a legal background to drive Ivo’s growth by engaging with law firms and in-house legal teams, becoming a trusted advisor on how Ivo’s solutions can enhance their effectiveness, demonstrating the value of our product, and guiding them in its successful implementation.

Responsibilities

The role will be varied with opportunities to specialize into certain areas as the company grows but key responsibilities may include:

• Being a champion of the product and advocating for Ivo at sales calls, customer onboarding calls, demos, webinars, events and conferences.
• Lead product demonstrations tailored to the context of various in-house legal teams, asking questions to validate how Ivo can add value and then showcasing Ivo’s features and benefits relevant to each prospective client’s potential use cases.
• Acting as a close and trusted advisor to our customers to help them integrate Ivo into their workflows and adopt best-in-class practices for scaling AI in their day-to-day work.
• Implement (and oversee the implementation of) “Playbooks” for our prospects derived from their precedents, templates, and historical agreements.
• Work closely with our engineers to improve the outputs of our models and with our designers to improve our UX / UI.
• Act as the “Voice of the Customer,” using your legal perspective to help the broader sales team to develop and implement more effective strategies and synthesize customer feedback for the product team through a legal lens.
  
  

Ivo might be a good fit for you if you have:

• 2 years of legal experience, either at a law firm or in-house legal team.
• Sales or customer-facing experience, including legal business development and/or secondment, is a plus, as is experience directly managing law firm client matters and client relationships.
• Outstanding presentation skills to both legal and executive audiences, whether impromptu on a whiteboard or using presentations and demos.
• Have a "do what it takes" attitude. You're willing to dive into problems and solve them yourself — you won't have anyone to delegate to.
• You are excited about the adventure of building a company and want to be part of something early-stage.
• Would describe yourself as being relentlessly resourceful.
• You have a strong internal sense of urgency. You have a bias towards doing things today, rather than tomorrow.
  
  

Compensation And Benefits

• Competitive Compensation: The USD base salary range for this role is $200k-$260k ( equity would be on top of this) . Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including, experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
• Relocation and Visa Support: We also offer relocation assistance for successful applicants moving to SF and NY, as well as support for visa and green card applications where applicable.
• Medical benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental and vision plans to suit the needs of you and your family.
• 401(k) Program: Plan for your future with access to our company-sponsored 401(k) program.
• Commuter Benefits: We provide commuter benefits to help make getting to and from the office easier and more convenient.
• Unlimited PTO: So you can take the time you need to recharge, stay healthy, and bring your best self to work.
• Office Perks: Enjoy a vibrant office with catered lunch provided five days a week, premium snacks and coffee, a gym located in the building, and a dog-friendly environment!
