About Jurisphere

Jurisphere is a legal AI startup that augments reviewing, researching, and drafting workflows for in-house legal teams and law firms. We're trusted by 500+ organisations and backed by top venture capital funds. As we scale in the US, the single biggest lever is talent density. That is where you come in.


Role Description


We are looking for a Junior Commercial Associate to own commercial accounts end-to-end. You will sit at the intersection of customer strategy, deal operations, and product development.Every account you touch is yours: from the first kickoff call, into how the engagement actually runs, and back into our roadmap as feedback that shapes the next release.


This is a strategy and operations role at its core. You will design how Jurisphere shows up for each customer, run the rhythm that keeps accounts compounding, and partner directly with our engineers to convert the patterns you spot into product features. The expectation is that you bring the instincts of someone who has spent time close to commercial work, the curiosity of an early-stage operator, and the appetite to ship.


The ideal candidate is someone who has spent a few years close to commercial transactions, knows how SaaS and enterprise deals actually play out on the ground, and is restless with how slow and manual the supporting workflows still are.


The role reports to the founders and works closely with our US Commercial Counsel.


What You'll Do


Own the account end-to-end. Drive each customer engagement from kickoff to delivery to renewal. Capture each customer's risk profile and operating preferences, translate them into living playbooks, and keep accounts compounding over time.


Build alongside engineering. Document your reasoning in prompts, checklists, and structured datasets. When you solve the same problem twice, you codify it so no one repeats the work. When you spot a pattern across customers, you turn it into a feature spec and partner with engineering to ship it.


Stress-test the AI stack. Design test sets, label edge cases, and push releases until model output beats what a human operator would produce on their own. You are the first user and the toughest critic of every workflow we build.


Grow accounts from inside. Most of our pipeline comes from people who already work with us. You will turn account work into expansion and convert strong reviews into warm intros.


Drive customer adoption. Show teams how to get more out of Jurisphere on every engagement. Adoption at scale is your number.


Minimum Qualifications


  • 3–6 years of experience working on commercial transactions, either at a US law firm (BigLaw or strong tech-focused mid-market) or in-house at a high-growth company
  • Working knowledge of SaaS, data, licensing, and enterprise deal terms (think MSAs, DPAs, order forms, NDAs, BAAs) sufficient to run sophisticated customer conversations
  • Track record of working with commercial counterparties: founders, GTM teams, product leads, in-house legal teams
  • Comfort operating as a commercial, client-facing professional rather than an internal advisor
  • Strong written and verbal communication; you can unpack complex commercial terms without jargon
  • Authorised to work in the US and able to operate in-person from New York or San Francisco


Preferred Qualifications


  • Prior experience that put you directly in front of clients: client origination, account management, customer success, or a deal-side role at a law firm or legaltech company
  • Hands-on experience building product, shipping internal tools, or starting your own company. If you've sat in front of Cursor, written prompts that actually moved a workflow, or run experiments on top of Claude, GPT, or Gemini, that matters here
  • Comfort with modern tooling (Notion, Linear, Slack, Hubspot) and genuine curiosity about how AI changes the way commercial work gets done
  • Track record of working cross-functionally with founders, commercial teams, and engineering in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment


Why This Role


You will be one of the first junior US hires for a company already serving 500+ organisations globally. The scope is broad and is suited for candidates with high agency.


Engagement Terms and Compensation


The annualised compensation range for this role is $80,000 to $140,000, calibrated to experience and location (New York, NY or San Francisco / Bay Area, CA). The role also includes a meaningful equity grant in the company.

Final compensation will be determined based on skills, experience, qualifications, and work location. The posted range reflects base annualised compensation only and does not include the equity component.
