Legal Product Champion

August • New York City, NY

About The Position

At August , we’re building AI designed for one thing: helping law firms practice better. Unlike tools built for the AmLaw 100, our focus is on midsized firms — where efficiency, client service, and competitive advantage matter most. Our platform helps lawyers draft, review, and analyze documents at scale, turning what used to take hours into minutes. We’re trusted by forward-thinking firms across the U.S., Australia, and Asia, and backed by leading investors (NEA, Pear VC, Stanford Law) to grow globally. We move quickly, learn directly from clients, and believe that AI is transforming the practice of law. The Role: Legal Product Champion This role doesn’t sit neatly in a box. It’s part lawyer, part product thinker, part trusted partner to our clients. As a Legal Product Champion , you’ll help midsized law firms adopt August, guide them through change, and show them how AI can be a real competitive edge. You’ll be the lawyer’s voice inside August — translating practice needs into product insights, influencing roadmap priorities, and helping us build tools lawyers actually use.
