You will care deeply about whether what we ship works, whether users understand it, and whether it drives the outcomes it was built for. You will be comfortable using tools like Claude Code, creating PRs, polishing UX autonomously and helping engineering teams move faster with clear, practical input. ## WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR 1. Strong product ownership. You take responsibility for a domain, understand the detail and drive it forward without waiting for perfect conditions. 2. Comfort with code. You do not need to be a full-time engineer, but you should be confident working close to the codebase, using AI coding tools, creating PRs, improving product hygiene and helping turn ideas into working products. 3. Strong design sense. You should have a strong sense for UX and evidence of it, ideally through prototyping, interface work, product exploration or examples of features you have shaped from rough idea to polished experience. 4. Sharp product judgement. You know how to identify the real user problem, make sensible trade-offs and push towards simple, high-quality solutions. 5. Strong data analysis. You can work with quantitative product data, understand what it means and use it to make better decisions. 6. Strong qualitative insight. You listen carefully to users, spot patterns in feedback and turn observation into product direction. 7. Clear communication. You can navigate ambiguity, speak well with engineers, designers, commercial teams and stakeholders, and help people find a practical path forward. 8. Commercial ownership. You work closely with marketing and go-to-market teams, and collaborate with Product Marketing, Account Management and Sales Enablement for launch and adoption, so that you fully own the success of your features. 9. Performance obsession. You care about whether a feature succeeds after it ships. You track usage, adoption, feedback and commercial impact, then keep improving. ## WHAT YOU WILL DO 1. Own a product domain within Wordsmith and drive its roadmap, delivery and performance. 2. Work with engineering to scope, shape and ship features quickly and cleanly. 3. Use Claude Code and similar tools to prototype, create PRs, polish product details and unblock progress. 4. Build prototypes and product flows that help the team make better decisions faster. 5. Combine product data, customer conversations and market understanding to decide what matters. 6. Work closely with marketing on positioning, launch plans, adoption and feature success. 7. Speak directly with users and internal teams to understand what is working, what is unclear and what needs to change. 8. Track product performance and keep pushing shipped work until it delivers. ## WHAT GREAT LOOKS LIKE You are the person who takes a messy product opportunity and turns it into something clear, useful and shipped. You can move between customer insight, product strategy, interface detail, technical implementation and commercial impact without dropping ownership. You are good to work with, direct in communication and calm in ambiguity. You do not wait for someone else to define success for your features. You define it, measure it and drive towards it. ## LOCATION This role is based in Edinburgh or London. ## About Wordsmith AI ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Wordsmith provides an AI-native legal operations platform that captures, triages, resolves, and records every legal request from the business, enabling in-house legal teams to work at the speed of AI. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B) - **Headquarters**: London, England, United Kingdom - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Ross McNairn (CEO), Volodymyr Giginiak (CTO), Robbie Falkenthal (COO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Legal Technology (LegalTech), Enterprise AI, Workflow Automation - **Target customers**: In-house legal departments at mid-to-large enterprises across all industries (B2B, Enterprise) - **Mission or purpose statement**: To be the Northstar for legal intelligence in business — to bring the legal function in-house by making it measurable, compressible, and owned, just as every other major corporate cost centre has been. ## Products & Services - **The Wordsmith Platform (Legal Operations System)**: An end-to-end AI-native system built around four core workflows: **Receive** (captures legal requests from Slack, email, Salesforce, Teams, and procurement systems), **Route** (assigns ownership, priority, and context), **Resolve** (automates routine legal work using AI agents — drafting, redlining, research, translation — while escalating complex decisions to lawyers), and **Record** (logs every decision, action, and rationale in real time for audit-ready governance). - **Contract Review & Workflow Integration**: End-to-end contract review embedded directly into business tools like Slack, Gmail, and procurement systems. Reviews are collaborative and web-native. - **Word Integration**: A plugin allowing lawyers to review, redline, draft, research, and translate without leaving Microsoft Word. - **AI Agents**: Chain drafting into a full end-to-end workflow — receive the request, draft the document, route for approval, and send — with no manual step required. - **Global Legal Intelligence Engine**: Covers hundreds of trusted sources across 130+ jurisdictions, combined with deep knowledge of the customer’s own entities, risk profile, and prior positions. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private company) - **Key Metric**: Total funding raised — **$100M** across two rounds. Last round: **€60.2M ($70M) Series B** (announced June 2026). - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Index Ventures, Highland Europe, General Catalyst (the firms behind Figma, Stripe, Discord, Airbnb, Revolut, and Canva). - **Growth Signals**: - Used by **500+ organisations globally**, including major enterprises such as **BT, Financial Times, Safelite, Trip.com, and Canva**. - Reports that **Trustpilot cut contract review time by 85%** using the platform. - Planning to grow workforce from ~100 to **~300 employees**, with significant **US market expansion**. - Founded in 2023 and achieved this scale in just over two years. ## Competitive Advantages - **Category-defining position**: Wordsmith is not a legal copilot for individual lawyers — it is an **operating system for the entire in-house legal function**, managing complete request flows across the organisation. This system-level approach is a structural shift away from traditional point-tools. - **Conflict-free business model**: Wordsmith sits on the side of the *buyer* of legal services (the in-house team), not the *seller* (law firms). All other legacy tools were built to serve law firms. Wordsmith’s incentives are aligned with removing friction and cost for the enterprise. - **Vertical-first AI strategy**: Deeply specialised in legal workflows rather than a generalist AI platform, making the product deeply relevant and defensible in a $1.1T global legal market. - **Founding team**: Led by a CEO (Ross McNairn), CTO (Volodymyr Giginiak), and COO (Robbie Falkenthal) who blend legal domain expertise with deep AI and engineering capability. ## Strategic Focus - **Scale globally, with a US expansion priority**: The Series B is explicitly earmarked to accelerate growth in the US market. - **Hire exceptional talent**: Grow the team to ~300 people, maintaining a “fewer, better people” philosophy — a small group of brilliant specialists rather than a crowd of generalists. - **Product depth**: Continue to invest in AI agents, global legal intelligence, and deeper integration into enterprise workflows (Slack, Salesforce, Word, Gmail). - **Move beyond task assistance to full automation**: The stated vision is to make legal “the last black box” in the enterprise — measurable, compressed, and owned internally. ## Why Work Here - **Culture & Philosophy**: Described as a team of “lawyers and engineers blending two worlds.” Core operating principles include: **“fewer, better people”** (small, elite teams), **relentless focus on simplicity**, and building products that are so elegant they “feel like magic.” The company explicitly values **judgment** as the key differentiator in an AI-powered world. - **Growth Trajectory**: A rare stage — Series B with $100M in funding, a small enough team that individual contributions matter every day, and early enough to shape how the company builds. Significant US expansion ahead. - **Work Environment**: Hybrid (roles listed for Edinburgh and London). The hiring process is transparent and values speed: a 30-min screening call, a 45-min technical interview, a short take-home challenge (a couple of hours), and a culture interview. - **Funding Backing**: Backed by the same investors who backed Figma, Stripe, and Canva — strong signal of ambition and long-term thinking. - **Impact**: Working on a problem that is “genuinely new” — building the platform to run in-house legal teams, which is a category that did not exist before AI made it possible. ## Sources 1.
