Job description

About Robin AI
Robin AI is on a mission to rebuild the legal industry — starting with making contracts simple for everyone.

We are a pioneer in Legal AI, built on proprietary models, licensed data, and deep partnerships with Anthropic and AWS.

Since , we've expanded our footprint to 4 continents and have been supporting many of the world's most successful businesses, including GE, Pfizer, KPMG, and UBS.

This role is based on EST hours, Monday - Friday.

About this role

This position is part of our Legal Team with future plans to expand into Legal Engineering and Implementation.

Initially, it involves working directly with investment teams at some of the world's largest private equity and debt funds, financial institutions, and corporates as they explore transaction opportunities.

As an experienced legal professional, you will review and negotiate a suite of contracts.

Robin offers excellent opportunities for personal career development in various areas alongside traditional legal work. This role is suitable for experienced legal professionals (qualified solicitors or paralegals) interested in contract review roles within investment banks, funds, asset management firms, or alternative legal service providers.

Our clients are many of these institutions, and our core transactional work covers similar areas and document types, but in a more modern, creative, and flexible way.

What you'll do

1. Reviewing and negotiating contracts such as confidentiality agreements, engagement letters, and release letters, using Robin's AI technology and your legal experience.
2. Reviewing the work of junior team members and assisting with their professional development and training.
3. Testing Robin’s technology products and providing feedback on issues, bugs, and improvement areas.
4. Performing any other duties reasonably required.

Qualifications

• At least 3+ years' experience in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating core transactional documents (e.g., confidentiality agreements, engagement letters, release letters).
• Experience working with private equity, asset management, or hedge fund clients, understanding fund transaction structures and timelines.
• Proactive in seeking solutions to practical and legal issues.
• Technical and commercial acumen both in legal practice and outside of it.
• Motivated by working in a fast-paced, diverse, and challenging environment, with a collaborative mindset.

What’s in it for you

• Competitive salary
• Generous equity scheme, enabling you to be an owner of Robin AI
• 20 days PTO plus public holidays observed in South Africa
• Growth opportunities with a focus on promotion for high performers
