ABOUT WORDSMITH
Most legal teams are drowning. They’re buried under internal questions, contract reviews, policy approvals, and fire drills from every corner of the business.

Backed by Index Ventures and some of the sharpest minds in law and AI, we’re scaling fast across Edinburgh, London, New York, and beyond. Our customers include fast-growth tech companies and public enterprises. We’re building the future of legal work.

We're looking for an Events & Community Manager to build a repeatable, weekly events engine in NYC.
