Job description

GC AI is the legal AI platform built for in‑house legal teams. Your decisions shape the product, your impact is immediate, and you own your work from day one.

You'll define how things get built, not follow someone else's playbook. Six principles guide how the team works:

• 1% Better Every Day: small, compounding improvements across everything you ship.

• Customer Obsession: start with the customer and work backward.

• Ship Today: bias toward action and iteration over perfection.

• Find a Way: resourcefulness and ambition over constraint.

• Care: be direct, like an honest friend, even when it’s uncomfortable.

• Own It: full accountability, proactive communication, and attention to detail.

You will help decide what we build, set the standard for launch readiness, and shape the future of legal AI for in‑house teams.
