About Norm Ai
Norm Ai, the agentic law company, has a client base with a combined $30 trillion in assets under management.


Norm Ai pioneered Legal Engineering, the process that empowers lawyers to build and supervise domain-specific AI agents with Norm’s proprietary suite of no-code software tools. Norm Ai technology is deployed inside many of the largest and most consequential institutions in the world.


Norm Ai is also the technology behind Norm Law, LLP, a separate but affiliated AI-native law firm built for the era of agentic AI. Norm Law’s attorneys advise leading institutions across private funds, private equity, venture capital, real estate, registered funds, and financial regulation, using the same legal intelligence platform that powers Norm Ai’s products.
AI Fluency:
Norm Ai expects all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end.
Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes. We look for practical, hands-on experience, not theoretical familiarity.

This Role

We’re hiring an experienced TA Specialist to own hiring for attorneys across Norm Law. This is a full cycle role, helping identify, engage, and close top legal candidates at all levels. Norm Law is in a period of rapid, intentional growth — we're hiring with urgency and with standards, and those two things have to coexist. The TA Specialist we bring on needs to be someone who can move fast without cutting corners on quality, and who thinks as carefully about how we scale as they do about any individual hire.

You will work directly with law firm leadership and practice group heads to define hiring needs, build out recruiting infrastructure, and develop relationships with passive and active candidates. We’re building something new and looking for someone who knows the legal talent markets and can tell a compelling story about where law is going.

In this role, you will:
  • Own full-cycle recruiting - sourcing and screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and onboarding.

  • Partner with firm leadership and practice group leads to define role requirements and candidate profiles for partner and associate hires.

  • Build sourcing strategies to reach passive candidates: lateral partners, BigLaw associates, and lawyers with relevant practice backgrounds.

  • Build, iterate, and scale recruiting processes tailored to a high-growth startup environment.

  • Develop and manage relationships with legal search firms and recruiting agencies where appropriate.

  • Drive a candidate experience that reflects the quality and intentionality of the firm.

  • Track pipeline metrics and provide leadership with clear, honest reads on market conditions and hiring progress.

  • Help shape Norm Law's employer brand and candidate pitch in the legal market.

Skills & Experience:
  • 4+ years of experience as a full-cycle recruiter in legal or professional services.

  • Familiarity with how law firms hire - lateral partner processes, associate pipeline, etc.

  • Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and moving quickly.

  • Thrive in ambiguity and enjoy building from scratch.

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence cross functional partners.

Bonus Points For:
  • Experience at a law firm, legal search firm, or in-house legal recruiting function.

  • Exposure to AI, LegalTech, or emerging legal practice areas.

  • Familiarity with Ashby.

The Company
HQ: New York, New York

Year Founded: 2023

What We Do

Norm AI develops AI software that embeds legal reasoning into AI agents to automate legal and compliance tasks. Its offerings include legal AI agents, supervisory AI for verifying AI systems under legal requirements, legal engineering services, and an affiliated law firm that combines legal practice with AI development. The company also conducts research through its Legal AGI Lab to advance AI systems that operate within human legal frameworks. Norm Ai has raised more than $260 million (Series C) from Khosla Ventures, Craft Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, Coatue, Blackstone, Vanguard, Citi, New York Life, TIAA, Henry R.

Why Work With Us

Our platform combines frontier AI, proprietary legal reasoning systems. We started as a compliance AI company, and that work taught us something the rest of the industry missed: generic AI doesn't hold up against real regulatory and legal complexity. In November 2025 we launched the very first agentic AI law firm, Norm Law, now powered by Norm AI.
