About Lawhive

Our mission is to make the law accessible to everyone.

The legal industry is built on technology and process that hasn’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 2024 we secured $40M Series A funding round to facilitate international expansion and to grow our team, representing one of the five largest Series A rounds in Europe for 2024.

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

About the Role:

This isn’t just any job - it’s a launchpad. As a Founder’s Office Associate at Lawhive, you’ll work side-by-side with our CEO and co-founder on the thorniest, most important problems in the business. You’ll be dropped into different parts of the company - from commercial and product, to ops and finance - wherever there’s a challenge that needs fast thinking, deep analysis, and decisive action.

You’ll be trusted with real responsibility from day one, and you’ll be expected to bring a powerful mix of intelligence, curiosity, and action orientation. You’ll learn directly from founders who’ve built and scaled companies before, while building the judgment and toolkit to become a future business leader yourself.

The ideal candidate is a high EQ, high horsepower generalist - someone who wants to prove themselves at the coalface of a startup, take ownership, and grow fast. If you're drawn to the idea of taking a startup from early traction to category leadership and want to do it by solving the hardest problems along the way, this role is for you.

What You'll Do:

• Acting as a right hand to the CEO and founding team - identifying critical business problems and deploying quickly to solve them
• Leading zero-to-one initiatives across the business, from idea to implementation - often across multiple departments (Sales, Product, Marketing, Ops, and more)
• Turning ambiguity into clarity, structuring and solving open-ended strategic and operational challenges
• Designing and tracking key metrics to help the business scale smartly - building dashboards, business cases, and board-level recommendations
• Driving high-impact execution - whether that means closing the loop on operational gaps or launching new internal tools or processes

Requirements:

This Role Might Be for You If You...

• Thrive in ambiguity and get energy from solving unstructured problems
• Have a blend of consulting-style strategy chopsandan operator’s bias for action
• Want a front-row seat to what it takes to build and scale a venture-backed startup
• Are motivated by high-trust, high-autonomy environments where you’ll be pushed to grow quickly
• See this as a stepping stone to becoming a GM, founder, or functional leader

What We're Looking for:

• Experience in a top-tier consulting firm, VC/PE, startup, or high-growth business operations role, or you’ve been a founder of a venture backed startup or high growth bootstrapped business.
• Outstanding problem-solving and analytical skills - you can work from a blank page to business case
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills - you know how to bring people with you
• Metrics-driven and commercially minded - you love measuring what matters and making decisions with data
• Highly resourceful and proactive - you don’t wait to be told what to do
• Comfortable navigating across different functions and diving deep where needed

Interview process

• Introductory call with our Talent team
• 1:1 with your hiring manager
• Practical skills assessment
• Values interview with one of our Founders
