About the job

A talent marketplace that supplies expert attorneys to AI labs is hiring a program lead to run client engagements from kickoff to delivery. The person in this seat will juggle sourcing, vetting and onboarding of large contractor cohorts for data and evaluation projects.

Program ownership

Run each client engagement from the initial request through the moment contributors start logging billable work

Keep clients informed through staffing plans, short daily syncs and weekly status reports

Build the candidate funnel for projects needing hundreds of lawyers, drawing on professional networks, job boards, referrals, school communities and the marketplace’s existing talent base

Turn client demand into plans organized around legal specialty, region and schedule, working alongside a co-founder and the quality team

Screen large applicant volumes for licensure, practice area, residency and verified profiles, with AI tooling assisting your judgment

Guide new contributors through contract, training and production, chase those who stall, and field their ongoing questions

Monitor how many contributors activate, get accepted and log time, while keeping trackers accurate

Background we want

At least a year or so in bulk recruiting, temp or contract placement, program delivery, operations, consulting or marketplace work; hands-on results outweigh tenure

Client-facing experience running programs with many workers at once

Proven ability to place and onboard large groups of workers while quality holds steady

Comfort with LinkedIn Recruiter, spreadsheets and applicant tracking systems

Ease in a startup where scope shifts often and many stakeholders compete for attention

A plus: a law degree or paralegal history, time at a law firm or legal staffing firm, or experience at an AI training-data or talent platform
