We are hiring a Senior Content Writer & Editor to lead the writing and execution of our most important editorial projects. Working closely with our Content Lead and subject-matter experts across the company, you'll own the ideation, research, writing, and promotional copy behind our flagship reports, guides, essays, and video scripts. This is a hands-on creative and editorial role focused on depth and quality. It's for someone who wants to create great work and is up for the challenge of writing for a smart, skeptical audience.

Writing & Editorial Execution:

• Research, write, and edit content across formats, including data-backed industry reports (like our State of Contracts report), guides, lead magnets, essays, articles, and video scripts.

Ideation & Publishing Cadence:

• Plan and manage a publishing calendar across reports, guides, and articles, balancing timely commentary on legal AI news with deeper, research-led projects.

• Use data to see what resonates and adjust direction as we learn what works.

Packaging & Promotion:

• Treat packaging and distribution as part of the writing process, making sure every piece has a strong hook and angle.

• Write the surrounding campaign copy for your projects, including marketing emails, social posts, and landing page copy.

• You are an exceptional writer and self-editor with sharp editorial taste. You know the difference between clean, generic prose and writing that holds a reader's attention, and you hold every piece to that higher standard.

• You understand lawyers and the day-to-day of legal work, allowing you to spot the nuances, pain points, and insights that resonate with legal teams.

• You have experience in B2B SaaS content, journalism, or copywriting, and can point to published work that drove engagement.

• You are adaptable and comfortable in a fast-paced, data-driven environment where priorities can shift as we test ideas and follow what works.

• You think like a marketer and an editor at the same time. You care as much about how a piece is packaged, positioned, and distributed as you do about the sentences on the page.

• You can own projects end-to-end, from initial research to drafting to writing the campaign copy to launch it.

• Direct experience in transactional or corporate law, with knowledge of contract drafting, redlining, and commercial legal work.

• Experience working in a fast-paced tech startup environment.

• You are a writer first, but also a dynamic and adaptable generalist. You enjoy working across different formats, projects, and tools.

• Embrace autonomy and accountability in a flexible work environment; we focus on outcomes and empower you to determine how to get the job done

• Access our company-paid group benefits for you and your family, with $1,000 towards mental health support

• Disconnect during our holiday closure and take advantage of our generous time off policies throughout the year

• Enjoy monthly paid meals, an annual wellness allowance to support your well-being and parental leave top-ups as your family grows

• Secure your stake in our success; you’ll receive competitive stock option grants as a pivotal early employee
