Job description

Welcome to Crosby, the next-generation law company!

We're a team of technologists and legal experts collaborating closely to reimagine corporate legal services from the ground up. We build proprietary technology and human-in-the-loop workflows to enhance the lawyer-machine relationship radically. We want to review complex documents, for example, faster than ever, and with perfect quality.

Crosby was founded by Ryan (Penn, Stanford Law, ex-Cooley, former GC) and John (Penn M&T, ex-Ramp, ex-Google).

We believe:

• A great legal system is the watermark of a great society.
• Legal work is an art and science. We want to discover the frontier between the two and codify the scientific parts, which is a magnificent puzzle.

• Operate Crosby’s internal tooling and workflows to streamline document review processes.
• Identify inefficiencies or patterns in the review process and suggest improvements.
• Help standardize and codify recurring contract types and playbooks.
• Partner cross-functionally with engineering and operations teams to evolve our legal service delivery model.

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience as a practicing lawyer reviewing commercial contracts in private practice or in-house as a commercial counsel.
• Impeccable attention to detail, you spot the small stuff others miss. Experience with or excitement about technology-enhanced legal services.
• A strong process mindset, you’re always thinking about how to do something faster, better, or with more consistency.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous, high-ownership environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Competitive salary and equity compensation.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Unlimited PTO
• Fully remote - work from wherever in the US
