Join us in building it.\nAugust allows law firms to compound their expertise by building an autonomous organization of AI agents that run the firm's knowledge work. We partner closely with our firms and grow alongside them through sharing revenue on our agents and equity in the firms we transform.\nWe believe that in five years, more than 95% of legal work will be concentrated among a select few elite law firms. The firms that get there will be the ones that rebuild how they deliver it. We're partnering with those firms and building the engine they run on to become the biggest legal service provider in the world.\nWe invest in partnerships, not just licenses. We sell finished legal work alongside our firms and take a share of what it earns. This enables them to scale their services and lets us grow along with it. That means we’re chasing the legal services market ($1T), which dwarfs the global legal tech market ($40b).\nThe problem is hard. An engine of agents sits underneath every matter we touch, connected to every step of a lawyer's workflow, in an industry where there is no margin for error. We’re challenged with building the perfectly accurate, infallibly secure, and yet all-powerful engine for legal work.\nWe're already live with several excellent firms and the early results are better than we expected. Lean team, in person, New York, backed by leading investors, growing fast.\nEvery role at August is a chance to remake an industry while the window is open.\nThe Opportunity\nWe are looking for someone who wants to work on a problem that matters. Not optimize a funnel. Not manage a pipeline. Work on a problem that actually matters - how AI gets adopted inside law firms and legal teams at scale, and what it takes to make that change stick.\nThe Special Projects Lead sits at the intersection of growth, strategy, and deployment. You will own the entire motion from first conversation to live workflows - helping clients understand what is possible, designing how it gets implemented, and staying accountable to outcomes long after the deal is done. This is not a role for someone who wants to hand off and move on.\nYou will work directly with the founders, operate across every function, and shape the playbook for how August goes to market. If you are energized by complexity, thrive in ambiguous environments, and want to see your work change how a profession operates, this role is for you.\nWhat You'll Do\nGo onsite and meet with law firm partners and in-house legal teams to understand their most critical workflows and where they're losing time\n\nMap client operations in depth to identify where AI can deliver the highest-leverage outcomes\n\nWork with the product and engineering teams to shape how what you're seeing in the field gets built into August\n\nBuild customized workflows and use cases alongside clients as they expand to new practice groups or teams\n\nLead training sessions and check-ins to ensure the product is creating real impact on day-to-day legal operations\n\nPresent findings and proposals for expanded engagements to audiences ranging from associates to firm leadership\n\nScope out new client opportunities across practice areas, firm sizes, and geographies\n\nWhat You'll Bring\n3-6 years of experience in a client-facing role in SaaS, legal tech, consulting, or professional services.\n\nA track record of navigating complex, multi-stakeholder relationships and driving decisions through to outcomes.\n\nStrong strategic instincts - you can quickly understand a client's business, identify the highest-leverage opportunities, and build a clear path forward.\n\nComfort working without a defined playbook and the judgment to build one from scratch.\n\nThe ability to communicate clearly across audiences - from in-house counsel to managing partners to operations leads.\n\nNice to Have\nPrior exposure to legal operations, legal tech, or professional services. JD or legal industry background a plus.\nBenefits\nMedical insurance coverage\n\nFlexible PTO\n\nParental Leave\n\nCentralized office equipment ordering for all employees\n\nEquinox or Chelsea Piers gym membership\n\nIn-office perks: lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, and more\n\nBudget for intra-office travel\n\nTeam-building events\n\nRelocation support to NYC (as needed)\n\nWhy Join August\nFounding Impact: Shape not just your role but the company.\n\nUncapped Upside: Competitive base + commission, early equity ownership.\n\nTop-tier Team: Work alongside people who move fast, think clearly, and care deeply.\n\nCategory-Defining Work: Help build the first true AI agents for the legal profession.\n\nFast Growth: Scale your career as we scale the company.\n\nIn-person in NYC: Collaborative, talent dense and high energy environment\n\nGlobal Reach: Our clients span 4 continents and use August in multiple languages and jurisdictions\n\nFrontier of Applied AI: August has access to proprietary data inaccessible to foundation model providers. We build agents to automate all challenging knowledge work.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5019,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Gym membership","Health insurance","Insurance coverage","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["AI Agents","Legal AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T08:29:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.224,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":169,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":150000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/august-special-projects-lead-growth-ops","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/august-special-projects-lead-growth-ops.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T10:22:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16025,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":31611},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=31611"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Faugust-special-projects-lead-growth-ops"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Faugust-special-projects-lead-growth-ops"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Faugust-special-projects-lead-growth-ops"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/august-special-projects-lead-growth-ops\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Faugust-special-projects-lead-growth-ops"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":450750}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"august.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":450750},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
