Description

Legartis is on a mission: to unlock legal work at scale.

We have already set the standard for AI-powered contract review, helping teams work with greater precision than ever before. But that is just the beginning. We are building a holistic platform that goes far beyond review - connecting people, ideas, and knowledge to fundamentally change how legal teams operate.

When you join Legartis, you don’t just take a job - you take ownership. We are a team of product builders and legal experts who believe that true problem-solving requires more than just code; it requires a thoughtful process. We don't chase hype; we build substance. If you are excited by the prospect of working with exceptional people, building from first principles, and shaping the intelligent future of law - then this is the moment and the place.

Your mission

Let’s be honest: This isn't a typical backend role. While our Product Team focuses on building the engine, your mission is to make sure it runs perfectly on the racetrack. You operate at the intersection of Law, Sales, and Customer Success. You are the translator who turns abstract legal needs into concrete technical configurations (prompting) and convincing demonstrations.

1. Empowering Sales (The Commercial Expert): You ensure that our potential customers understand exactly how Legartis solves their problems.

• Mastering the Demo: You develop and refine standard demo environments that showcase the full power of our AI. For high-stakes prospects, you build customized demos and execute them with confidence.

• Sales Enablement: You train our Sales team to deliver compelling demonstrations independently and act as their "Legal Joker" in complex expert calls.

2. Driving Customer Success (The Trusted Partner): Once a deal is signed, you ensure the value is realized. You guide our clients through their transformation journey.

• Strategic Onboarding: You don't just configure the software; you act as a strategic sparring partner. You help legal teams define precise review requirements, optimize AI prompts, and understand exactly where and how Legartis delivers the highest ROI.

• Scalability & Adoption: You turn individual learnings into scalable standards. By documenting best practices and contributing to our playbook methodology, you help remove blockers and ensure our clients maximize their adoption across the company.

3. Operations & Legal (Beyond the Core): While your primary focus is on Sales and Customer Success, you also support our internal ecosystem with selected tasks.

• Quality Assurance: You coordinate our external partners for the review of test sets, ensuring our AI results are validated efficiently.

• Internal Legal Counsel: You don't just sell the tool; you use it. You occasionally support Legartis as an in-house counsel for contract reviews and specific legal questions.

Your profile

You don’t just want to practice law, you want to unlock its full potential. You are looking for a role where your legal expertise meets high-energy execution. We are not looking for spectators, we are looking for drivers who want to define the new way of working in legal.

1. The Legal Foundation

• Qualified Professional: You hold a Master’s degree in Law or equivalent. Admission to the bar is a plus, but your practical understanding of legal logic matters most.

• Contract Expert: You have profound experience in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts. You understand the "why" behind a clause, which allows you to teach that logic to our AI.

2. The Solution-Finder with Drive

• Action over Theory: You identify challenges, but you don't stop there. We don't need problem spotters; we need solution builders. You bring a high level of energy and ownership to tackle obstacles head-on.

• Growth Mindset: You are comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can take initiative and make a measurable impact.

3. The Clear Communicator & Orchestrator

• Project Leadership: You are organized and structured. You know how to manage complex projects with multiple stakeholders (clients, product, sales) and keep everyone aligned on the goal.

• Linguistic Precision: You have excellent communication skills in German and English (French, Spanish, Portuguese or other languages are a plus). You love the nuances of language and know that clarity is key, whether in a contract or a project plan.

4. The Tech & AI Enthusiast

• Curiosity First: You need to be fearless when it comes to new tech. You are fascinated by AI, LLMs, and prompting.

• Prompting Skills: Experience with generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) or specific prompting techniques is a massive plus. You enjoy tinkering with language to force the technology to deliver the best result.

Why us?

You are not joining a company to maintain the status quo. You are joining to break it.

• Impact over Hype: You will define a new discipline at the intersection of law and AI. Your work directly influences how thousands of legal professionals will operate in the future.

• The Collaborative Way: We don't have "departments" that work in silos. You will work in a high-trust environment where lawyers, engineers, and product builders solve problems side-by-side.

• True Ownership: We believe that those who build the company should own the company. You will receive a competitive salary and employee stock options (ESOP), making you a true shareholder in our success.

• Growth & Agility: We are an agile organization where the best argument wins, not the highest job title. You will have the autonomy to drive your own projects and grow faster than you would in a traditional corporate structure.

• Work-Life-Integration: With our central offices (Berlin/Leipzig/Zurich), we offer a flexible hybrid setup that fits your life.

• Team Culture: We celebrate our wins and our learnings. From regular apéros and lunches to hiking trips – we enjoy the journey together.
