Job description

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

Build and lead August's presence across the tech and AI ecosystem. You'll design and host events (dinners, conferences, panels) that bring together lawyers interested in technology, engineers, product leaders, and AI enthusiasts who care about the future of professional services.

This is proactive, strategic, and outbound-driven. You'll identify who matters across the broader tech and AI world (not just legal tech) and turn those relationships into high-value gatherings that position August as a leader in applied AI.

You'll own the entire event lifecycle and serve as August's connector to the broader tech and AI ecosystem: building relationships with press, analysts, and industry leaders that amplify our brand.

What You'll Do

Events & Community:

• Design and execute multi-format events:

  • Intimate dinners (10-15): Managing partners, CIOs, tech leaders

  • Conference presence: ABA TECHSHOW, ILTACON, Legalweek, ReInvent Law

  • Roundtables (15-30): practice-area specific

  • Customer Advisory Panels: quarterly product roadmap sessions

  • Virtual sessions: webinars, fireside chats, AMAs

  • Workshops: AI training for legal professionals

• Build a network across the tech and AI ecosystem:

  • Lawyers interested in technology and automation

  • Managing partners and CIOs at professional services firms

  • Tech founders, product leaders, and engineers

  • Innovation directors and COOs exploring AI

  • AI researchers, policy experts, journalists

• Execute proactive outbound: LinkedIn, email campaigns, warm intros, conference targeting

Revenue & Partnerships:

• Treat events as a revenue channel: track in HubSpot, measure pipeline influence, calculate ROI

• Co-host events with AI companies, tech platforms, bar associations, law schools, research groups

• Convert attendees into customers, design partners, and advocates

• Track industry recognition: award submissions, rankings, customer review platforms

Media & Thought Leadership:

• Build relationships with tech and business press: TechCrunch, The Verge, Wired, Forbes, Protocol, and legal/professional services media

• Position August leadership as go-to sources for AI commentary

• Coordinate podcast appearances, speaking opportunities, written contributions

• Turn events into content: blog posts, LinkedIn, podcasts, case studies

Operations:

• Manage budgets, vendors, and logistics

• Build scalable systems: CRM workflows, post-event surveys, attendee scoring

• Track metrics: attendance, NPS, pipeline sourced, social reach, repeat rate

Requirements

• 3-5+ years in tech, AI, or B2B SaaS: You know the broader tech and AI ecosystem—founders, builders, journalists, influencers. You understand how technology transforms industries.

• Strong network: You can get lawyers interested in technology, CIOs, innovation directors, and tech founders in the same room.

• Event execution experience: You've planned and hosted professional events and know how to make them run smoothly.

• Outbound and sales mentality: Comfortable with cold outreach, prospecting, and treating events as a sales channel.

• Natural connector: You make people feel welcome, facilitate great conversations, and leave lasting impressions.

• Highly organized: You juggle multiple events, manage vendors, track RSVPs, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

• Self-starter: You see an opportunity, build a plan, and execute without waiting to be told.

• Media savvy: Comfortable interfacing with press, analysts, and industry influencers.

Bonus Qualities

• Community management at a B2B SaaS or tech company

• Sales, business development, or partnerships background

• Experience with GTM tools: HubSpot, Amplemarket, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Eventbrite, Luma

• Speaking or moderating at tech/AI conferences

• Relationships with tech press (TechCrunch, The Verge, Forbes, Protocol, Wired)

• Understanding how AI transforms knowledge work

• Located in a major tech hub: SF, NYC, Seattle, Austin, Chicago

Why this Role is Different

Most community roles are reactive, but this role is proactive, strategic, and revenue-focused.

As a Community & Partnerships Lead you'll:

• Build relationships across the broader tech and AI world, not just legal tech

• Host events that attract lawyers interested in tech alongside engineers, founders, and AI builders

• Create a network effect that positions August as a leader in applied AI for professional services

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 or SF (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.
