Delegate repetitive legal work to Alaro by email, Slack, Teams, or WhatsApp. You step in only for the judgment calls. Everything else comes back done. Backed by a16z.
About the role
You are the US market. First person on the ground, most senior hire in the country, reporting to the CEO. The mandate is to turn founder-sourced momentum - warm introductions and investor networks - into a repeatable book of US revenue.
What they're looking for
- A network you can activate this month. GCs, Heads of Legal, CEOs and C-suite executives who take your call and accept your coffee invitation. The relationships are yours, not your employer's
- You started inside law, banking or consulting before moving into commercial work. Our buyer is a GC, and where you came from changes how you are received in that room
- You can carry a commercial conversation from first coffee to signed engagement. You respect how long these processes take, and you know how to move them faster than they usually go without ever rushing the buyer
- Commercially sharp and genuinely curious. The questions you ask reveal the work you have done
- Comfortable alone in a market. You build your own structure, and you have done zero-to-one commercial work before
