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

This is a first-of-its-kind role for Lawhive in the US, and a rare opportunity to build something from scratch. As our Events Marketing Manager, you'll be the architect of how Lawhive shows up in person in New York and across the wider US legal and tech ecosystem. You'll design and run the rooms where the right lawyers, founders, investors and operators want to be, turning Lawhive events into the place where serious legal and tech conversations happen.

You'll own the strategy behind why and where we host, who we bring together and what it does for the business, as well as the execution that makes each event feel sharp, intentional and worth attending. This role directly strengthens our brand awareness in a new market, builds the relationships that feed our M&A and partnership pipeline, and establishes Lawhive as a name people in legal and legal tech actually want to be associated with.

You'll report into our Head of Brand in the UK, working with a high degree of autonomy to build the playbook for events in the US, while staying closely aligned with the broader brand and growth strategy.

  • Own the end-to-end strategy and execution of Lawhive's events and community presence in the US, from intimate dinners and roundtables to larger flagship moments

  • Build and nurture a community of lawyers, legal operators, founders and investors who see Lawhive as a place worth showing up for, not just a vendor

  • Identify and create opportunities that support business development and M&A conversations, working closely with leadership to understand who we need in the room and why

  • Partner with the UK brand team to ensure US activity feels distinctly Lawhive while reflecting the nuances of the US legal and tech market

  • Manage budgets, vendors, venues and external partners, bringing a sharp eye for detail and quality at every touchpoint

  • Develop relationships with relevant industry bodies, law firms, legal tech players and media to expand Lawhive's footprint and credibility in the US

  • Measure and report on the impact of events against brand awareness, pipeline and relationship-building objectives, and use that insight to sharpen the strategy over time

  • Bring fresh, original ideas to how a legal tech company can build a community, rather than defaulting to generic industry conference formats

 
What You'll Bring

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

  • You've built or significantly grown an events or community function from the ground up, ideally at a high-growth tech company, and know what it takes to do this with no playbook to follow

  • You have a sharp instinct for brand and experience design, you understand that a poorly run event damages credibility just as much as a great one builds it

  • You're comfortable owning ambiguity and building structure where none exists, this is a first-of-its-kind role and you'll be defining what good looks like

  • You think commercially, you understand how events tie back to brand awareness, relationship-building and ultimately business outcomes like M&A and partnerships, not just attendance numbers

  • You're a sharp communicator and relationship-builder, equally comfortable in a strategy conversation with leadership and managing vendors

  • Experience in or exposure to the legal industry is a strong bonus, you understand how lawyers think, what earns their trust and what they consider a waste of their time

  • You're excited by the idea of building something category-defining in a market and industry that hasn't seen this kind of brand investment before

 
Interview process
  • Introductory call with our Talent team

  • 1:1 with our Head of Brand

  • Cross-functional interview with a few of your future peers

  • Values interview with one of our Founders

  • We offer!

 
Benefits
  • 🩺 Healthcare benefits: 'Premium' plan with 100% employee cover and 50% dependent cover

  • ✈️ Vacation: 20 days + 11 Federal holidays + 1 day of Birthday leave

  • 💰 401k: Matching contribution up to 2% of salary

  • 💰 Equity: Options in Lawhive LTD

 
Diversity at Lawhive

At Lawhive we know that diversity of thought is critical to delivering outlier outcomes. As such, we’re always working hard to ensure we build a diverse, inclusive team. We’re not yet where we want to be but as we scale we’ll only ever increase the focus we apply to this.

Skills Required

  • Built or significantly grown an events or community function from scratch at a high-growth company
  • Strong instinct for brand and experience design for in-person events
  • Ability to own ambiguity and build structure and playbooks
  • Commercial mindset linking events to business outcomes (brand, pipeline, partnerships)
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with leadership, vendors, and partners
  • Experience managing budgets, vendors, venues, and external partners
  • On-site presence in New York City 5 days per week
  • Experience in or exposure to the legal industry
