Founding Account Executive

Welcome to Crosby, the next-generation law company!

We're a team of technologists and legal experts collaborating closely to reimagine corporate legal services from the ground up. We build proprietary technology and human-in-the-loop workflows to radically enhance the lawyer-machine relationship. Our mission is to review complex documents faster and with higher quality than ever before.

Crosby was founded by Ryan (Penn, Stanford Law, ex-Cooley, former GC) and John (Penn M&T, ex-Ramp, ex-Google).

We believe:

• A great legal system is the watermark of a great society.
• Legal work is art and science. We are discovering the frontier between the two- codifying what can be systematized, and amplifying human expertise where judgment matters most.
• The right way to deploy AI in law isn't by selling software. It's by selling outcomes - higher-quality legal work, delivered faster and more efficiently
• In an in-person culture at our NYC office.

What you'll do:

• Build and execute the end-to-end sales motion: sourcing leads, running discovery, managing demos, negotiating contracts, and closing deals.
• Develop our early marketing strategy: content, campaigns, events, and thought leadership.
• Establish and manage our customer success approach to ensure adoption, retention, and advocacy.
• Collect feedback from customers and the market to influence product roadmap and strategy.
• Lay the foundation for a future sales teams by building processes, playbooks, and metrics.

What We're Looking For:

• 3-8+ years in sales, business development or growth roles at high-growth startups (bonus if you've been an early hire).
• Track record of closing enterprise or mid-market deals and building pipeline from scratch.
• Strong understanding of B2B SaaS go-to-market motions (sales-led, PLG, partnerships).
• Data-driven, but willing to experiment and move fast.
• Excited about being a founding team member, with the associated risk/reward, ownership, and impact.

What We Offer

• Direct collaboration with the founders and the opportunity to shape company strategy.
• The chance to have outsized impact at an early-stage company.

Why Work at Crosby:

• Build the Foundation: This is a rare opportunity to build an organization from the ground up. You will shape the team, its culture, and its processes for years to come
• Massive Impact: Play a pivotal leadership role in transforming a massive, antiquated industry with technology
• Complex Challenges: Solve fascinating technical problems at the intersection of AI, NLP, and legal services
