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
