About Bobyard
Construction is a multi-trillion-dollar industry that still estimates by hand. Contractors measure and count materials off drawings manually, and it caps how many jobs they can bid. Bobyard uses computer vision and NLP to automate takeoffs and estimates, so contractors bid faster and win more. We raised a $35M Series A led by 8VC, with Primary and Pear, and we're growing fast.
About the role
You'll be our first legal hire and the point person for everything legal at Bobyard. Today, legal work is spread across our leadership team and five outside law firms, and your job is to bring it into one place. You'll negotiate customer agreements, keep our contracts and terms current, and manage the firms we work with. Success is Sales never waiting on legal, and every matter having one owner and a clear next step.
What you'll do
Be the single point of contact for legal requests: triage, route, and track every matter to closure
Negotiate and redline customer agreements (MSAs, order forms, DPAs, and NDAs) within our playbook, and escalate what needs outside counsel
Manage our outside counsel relationships, scope matters, and track legal spend
Keep contract templates current and version-controlled as pricing and processes change
Work with Product to keep our terms of service, privacy policy, and in-product terms accurate
Analyze contract terms against data-privacy, security, and commercial risk, and give leadership clear recommendations
Build the systems that make legal scale: intake, a clause playbook, and contract management
What we're looking for
0–3 years in legal operations, commercial contracts, or a transactional practice
You've redlined or negotiated contracts yourself, not just watched
You make a call with incomplete information, and you know when to escalate
You can say no to a salesperson or a customer's lawyer and keep the relationship strong
Clear, concise writing, and the follow-through to keep many matters moving at once
Nice to have
Juris Doctor (JD)
SaaS agreements, DPAs, or privacy frameworks (GDPR, CCPA). CIPP/US is a plus

What We Do
