About this role
Role overview
About the company
Alaro is building the next generation of legal services; an AI-native law firm built to deliver clear, timely legal judgment for investment funds, financial institutions, and corporates. We combine senior expertise with intelligent systems so routine work happens faster, and critical decisions don’t wait. We’re building a firm for lawyers who want to work at that frontier.
We started Alaro in April 2025 and raised a $2M pre-seed followed by a $7M seed led by a tier-1 US VC. Our product is used daily by our own lawyers on real matters, creating a tight feedback loop between product and practice. With early customers and a world-class engineering & legal team taking shape, it’s still day one - come build with us.
What you'll do
What you will do
- Design and execute client operations systems, including intake, scoping, and knowledge capture playbooks to ensure high-quality delivery.
- Partner with engineering to translate legal pain points into AI product requirements and roll out automated workflows.
- Drive company growth by supporting founder-led sales, managing strategic partnerships, and building the internal recruiting engine.
Who you are
Who this is a fit for
- 2-5 years of experience in a high-intensity environment such as MBB consulting, investment banking, or a high-growth startup.
- Exceptional analytical horsepower with a proven ability to turn messy, unscoped problems into clear, executable plans.
- A founder-level ownership mindset with the versatility to switch between high-level strategy and unglamorous execution without losing quality.
Why this role
Why this role is remarkable
- Direct mentorship and daily collaboration with founders, owning high-priority workstreams instead of acting as an assistant.
- Exceptional team density, working alongside elite lawyers from Freshfields and A&O plus world-class AI/ML engineers.
- Backed by $9M in funding from a tier-1 US VC to disrupt the traditional legal model using a proprietary AI feedback loop.
