Founders' Office Associate

We’re on a mission to make sure everyone has access to the law.

Lawhive is an online platform for consumers and small businesses to get legal help for a fraction of the cost of a law firm. Our platform combines regulated human lawyers collaborating alongside the world’s first AI lawyer specifically built for consumer legal work.

Equal access to the law is one of the biggest and most pressing unsolved problems in society today. We’re passionate about leveling the playing field and believe access to the law should be a basic utility in society.

Our AI lawyer Lawrence is built on top of our own fine tuned LLM and recently passed the UK’s bar exam equivalent.

We’re backed by some of the top US and UK VC funds including Google Ventures, Balderton Capital and TQ Ventures. We recently secured a $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.

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 Be Doing:

• 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

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 chops and an 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
