About Alaro

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

Legal execution capacity is the bottleneck on Alaro's growth, and this seat removes it. You sit inside Alaro's legal team. When a client sends a new workflow - a matter type, a document set, a recurring process - you pick it up, execute the legal work to the standard of the firm you trained at, and in parallel you codify it: a steps plan precise enough that our agents take the work over and you never have to do it manually again.

What they're looking for

  • Trained and qualified at a top-tier firm - Paul Hastings, Kirkland & Ellis, Allen & Overy, a Magic Circle firm, or an elite US firm of the Skadden tier. The kind of training where sloppy work gets spotted instinctively
  • Roughly 3-8 years' PQE, or junior-to-mid-level associate in US terms. Experienced enough to know what good client output looks like, early enough to be driven by automation rather than by traditional career milestones
  • Transactional background preferred over litigation. A preference, not a hard requirement
  • Able to pick up unfamiliar work and codify it quickly. Handed a matter type you have never run, you work out how it is judged and turn it into a repeatable process
  • Process-obsessed and automation-driven. Your instinct on any recurring task is the steps plan, not the grind
  • Commercially pragmatic. You understand what the client is paying for and calibrate the output to that, without being asked
