Director of Community, Legal Operations

What We’re Looking For

As the Director of Community - Legal Operations, you’ll take charge of developing and scaling our legal operations community. You will play a pivotal role in driving engagement across our platform and live events while ensuring a cohesive, world-class community experience.

We are seeking a dynamic, detail-oriented, and organized professional with a passion for building community and creating unique/compelling event experiences to lead our Legal Operations community in a fast-paced startup environment.

About The Suite

We build high-quality and highly-curated professional communities. We run three such communities today:

  • The L Suite, (which includes our flagship network TechGC), for General Counsels & CLOs of high-growth private companies, public companies, and investment funds.

  • The F Suite, for CFOs of high-growth private companies and venture funds.

  • The E Suite, for CEOs of high-growth private companies.

Each of our communities is unique, but they are all powered by our custom-built platform which our members like to call “the Braintrust.”

We currently have 4,800+ paid members across our communities, representing C-Suite executives from many of today’s leading tech companies (e.g., Airbnb, Slack, Coinbase, Uber, Notion, Bolt, Figma, Airtable, Dropbox, etc.) and venture funds (e.g., a16z, Softbank, Tiger, Accel, Thrive, Battery Ventures, FirstMark, etc.).

On the other side of our communities, we have built deep partnerships with the top law firms (e.g., Latham, Cooley, WSGR, Fenwick, Goodwin, S&C, Davis Polk, etc.), legal/fintech vendors (e.g., Ironclad, LinkSquares, DataGrail, Lawtrades, Morgan Stanley at Work, NPM, SpendFlo, etc.), and professional service providers (e.g., Aon, Deloitte, EY, Franklin Square Group, Marsh, Newfront, etc.) that support these executives. These partners engage with our members as thought leaders and valued advisors/resources, and we foster a unique environment where the two sides of our ecosystem can connect through targeted education, networking, and support.

Our mission is to help today’s leaders make better and faster decisions that propel their companies forward. One of the core ways we are able to do that is by connecting our members to the right advisors/tools at the right time.

We are a well-funded and rapidly scaling startup with a high-impact team of 55+ full-time employees.
