Join us in building the autopilot for legal services

Today, legal work is done the way it has been done for a century — manually, by humans, in six-minute increments. Every contract drafted from scratch. Every memo researched line by line. Every matter running through layers of review that someone is paying for at hundreds of dollars an hour.

That is about to change. We believe that in five years, more than 80% of legal work will pass through a model before it ever reaches a human. The implication is not faster lawyers — it is a fundamentally different way that legal services get bought and procured.

Our mission is to make high-quality legal work accessible and affordable for everyone. We are going after the services spend, not the software spend — helping law firms restructure their delivery model around AI, and helping in-house teams do the same. One engine of agents and workflows underneath every matter we touch.

We are a lean, in-person based in New York City, backed by leading investors and growing fast. Every role at August is a chance to remake an industry while the window is open.

Build and lead August's presence across the tech and AI ecosystem
. You'll design and host events (dinners, conferences, panels) that bring together lawyers interested in technology
, engineers, product leaders, and AI enthusiasts who care about the future of professional services.

This is proactive, strategic, and outbound-driven
. You'll identify who matters across the broader tech and AI world (not just legal tech) and turn those relationships into high-value gatherings that position August as a leader in applied AI.

You'll own the entire event lifecycle and serve as August's connector to the broader tech and AI ecosystem
