About The Position

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 than ever and with perfect quality. 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 an art and science. We want to discover the frontier between the two and codify the scientific parts, which is a magnificent puzzle. Selling work, not software, is the best way to realize the productivity gains of GenAI for professional services. In an in-person culture at our NYC office. This is Crosby’s first dedicated finance hire. We expect this role to be a senior individual contributor with broad ownership and high visibility. As Strategic Finance Lead, you’ll have the unique opportunity to build the financial foundation that helps Crosby scale.

You’ll help Crosby understand what is happening in the business, what should happen next, and where we should invest.
