About Lawhive

Our mission is to make the law accessible to everyone.

The legal industry is built on technology and processes that haven't been updated in hundreds of years - that's why we've reinvented the entire model from the ground up with our own bespoke AI operating system at the core.

Lawhive is a regulated law firm with an AI-native platform built to amplify expertise and revolutionise the way people practice law, leading to exceptional outcomes for clients and lawyers.

Lawhive Labs is how we bring this vision to life. It's our frontier lab that combines top engineering, design, AI and legal talent from around the world, joining forces to build the future of law.

We're backed by top-tier investors, including Google Ventures, Balderton Capital and TQ Ventures, and in December 2025, we secured $60M Series B funding round to facilitate international expansion and to grow our team.

We're headquartered in London and in 2025 successfully launched in the US…and we're just getting started.

The Role

As Content & Social Lead, you'll define how Lawhive shows up across social, with LinkedIn at the core, and build the content engine that puts us in the right conversations at the right time across AI, legal and tech.

You'll be a great writer first and foremost, someone who can capture a founder's voice one day and write a caption that stops the scroll the next. You'll think in strategy but execute in detail, managing not just your own output but pulling in founders, lawyers and teammates to create content that feels real and lands with the right audiences.

• Own Lawhive's social presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and emerging platforms, with a clear strategy behind every channel

• Develop and manage a content calendar aligned to company priorities, product launches and growth goals

• Lead founder and employee advocacy programs, getting the right people posting the right things

• Build recurring content series and campaigns that drive brand recognition over time

• Translate complex legal and AI topics into content that's genuinely engaging, not just accessible

• Track and report on performance with a clear view of what's growing, what's not and why

• Run experiments across formats and channels and act quickly on what you learn

• Capture content from events, team moments and customer stories

What You'll Bring

You'll be a great fit for this role if…

• You have 5+ years in social media or content, with clear evidence of audience growth and demonstrated impact on the accounts you've owned

• You're an exceptional writer with the range to emulate different voices and the instinct to know what works as a caption versus a long-form post

• You've worked at a fast-growth startup and know what it takes to build something scrappy and make it look sharp

• You think creatively about how to break through the noise and have the tactics to prove it

• You're comfortable managing founder accounts and coordinating across multiple stakeholders to bring content to life

• You show up on social yourself and can point us to your own presence as part of how you work
