Full Job Description

JOIN US IN BUILDING THE AUTOPILOT FOR LEGAL SERVICES Today, legal work is done the way it has been done for a century — manually, by humans, in six-minute increments. Every contract drafted from scratch. Every memo researched line by line. Every matter running through layers of review that someone is paying for at hundreds of dollars an hour. That is about to change. We believe that in five years, more than 80% of legal work will pass through a model before it ever reaches a human. The implication is not faster lawyers — it is a fundamentally different way that legal services get bought and procured. Our mission is to make high-quality legal work accessible and affordable for everyone. We are going after the services spend, not the software spend — helping law firms restructure their delivery model around AI, and helping in-house teams do the same. One engine of agents and workflows underneath every matter we touch. We are a lean, in-person based in New York City, backed by leading investors and growing fast. Every role at August is a chance to remake an industry while the window is open. THE OPPORTUNITY We're looking for a Founding Account Executive who is excited to own our sales motion from the ground up. You'll work directly with the founders, engage some of the most forward-looking law firms, and help shape how AI is adopted across the legal industry. You'll need to be comfortable leading complex sales cycles, deeply understanding customer workflows, and translating technical capabilities into business value. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, loves building new markets, and is energized by high ownership. What You'll Do - Own the full sales motion. Run deals from cold to close across our entire customer base — law firms and in-house legal teams alike. - Build the playbook. Discovery scripts, demo flow, objection library, pricing posture, deal stages — none of this exists yet. You build it, document it, and refine it as you
