Legal, Sales & Business Development
New York, NY, USA
Posted on Thursday, March 2, 2023
We are looking for a talented, remarkable, and ambitious legal expert with exceptional relationship-building skills, who wants to put their best ideas to work.
You’re not someone who wants another transient job, where you’re kinda stifled. You want your work to have meaning.
We’re Darrow, a booming start-up committed to changing the world using Machine Learning & AI. We are looking for the next key member of our expanding US team, to join our data-for-justice revolution.
Not Your Average Role
We’re a team of data experts and legal practitioners who deploy data, machine learning, and AI to monitor the web and discover undetected legal violations. By doing so, we bring them to light and justice — securing compensation for victims and deterring bad actors from wrongdoing.
We created an open, action-based culture unlike any other, based on the shared values of creating an impact and making a change. Our mission is about impact at scale, and we provide our team members with access to the resources they need to get the work done. We are looking for the right lawyers to add to our team and help us achieve this mission.
This is where you come in.
About the Role

In this role, you will be at the center of our Sales team, supporting our product strategy, and creating, leading, and executing core business processes.
The ideal candidate is a driven self-starter, who functions well under pressure, has strong interpersonal and communication skills, an ability to improvise and find creative solutions, and always strives to succeed.
