Founding Account Executive

Crosby is built on a simple conviction: a great legal system is the watermark of a great society — and the best legal work comes from combining human expertise with the right technology, not replacing one with the other.

Crosby is the first AI-native law firm, helping ambitious companies like Cursor, Ramp, and Cognition sign commercial contracts faster.

Legal work is both art and science, and we're mapping the frontier between the two — codifying what can be systematized, amplifying human judgment where it matters most. That's why the right way to bring AI into law isn't to sell software and walk away. It's to own the outcome together: higher-quality work, delivered faster. We build proprietary tools and human-in-the-loop workflows that change what's possible for corporate legal teams.

Crosby was founded by Ryan (Stanford Law, Cooley, startup GC) and John (Penn, first X employees at Ramp). We work together, in person, in New York City — because the best ideas still happen in the same room. Help us transform one of society's most important industries.

We’re looking for a Founding Account Executive to build and own the commercial side of our business. As one of the first hires, you’ll partner closely with the founders to define our positioning, acquire early customers, and lay the foundation for scalable growth.

This role is ideal for a builder who thrives in ambiguity, can wear multiple hats, and is excited to create a playbook for sales and growth.

• Strong understanding of B2B SaaS go-to-market motions (sales-led, PLG, partnerships).
