Wordsmith is building the legal operations platform for in-house teams, and we are growing fast.
We believe in-house legal is becoming one of the most important functions in the AI era. Every business is moving faster, but legal work is still too often scattered across inboxes, chats, documents, and disconnected systems.
Wordsmith brings that work into one system. Requests come in from across the business, AI agents handle the routine, lawyers stay in control where judgment matters, and every step is captured as work happens.
We are built for in-house legal, not law firms. Our goal is to help legal teams move faster, reduce unnecessary external counsel spend, and become a function the business can run with.
More than 500 companies, including Financial Times, Safelite, Trip.com, Canva, Starling, and Sage, use Wordsmith. Backed by $100M from Index Ventures, General Catalyst, Highland Europe, and others, we are building one of the defining companies in legal AI.
The Role
We're building a GTM engineering function to own the systems, tooling and automation that drive Wordsmith's growth. You'll be its first hire.
This is a senior, hands-on, GTM engineering role reporting to the CMO. You'll work across the full GTM stack: marketing and sales tech, tooling and the systems behind our website. You'll decide what to build, buy or retire, and ship systems that help Marketing, Sales, Partnerships and post sales functions (e.g., Customer Success, Account Management) find, win and retain more customers.

Competitive salary and meaningful equity
We're growing quickly, winning new customers and expanding into larger accounts, and the systems behind that growth need to stay ahead of it. AI is changing how much a small GTM team can do, and we want to find out how far that goes. If you want to build a GTM engine close to the ground floor, with the mandate to do it properly, this is a strong place to do it.
