Whistler Partners is partnering with a fast-growing Legal & Compliance AI company building a first-of-its-kind, AI-native full-service law firm for global institutional clients. The business sits at the intersection of frontier AI, proprietary legal reasoning systems, and deep regulatory expertise—and is already deployed inside some of the most consequential financial institutions in the world.

The company is well-capitalized (recently raising over $140M) and scaling quickly. This is an opportunity to join at a pivotal moment and play a central role in shaping the operating system of a brand-new category: AI-enabled legal services delivered at enterprise scale.

This is a rare “right-hand to the CEO” opportunity—high-stakes, high-impact, and highly visible. You’ll serve as a trusted advisor and execution partner to the founder/CEO as he builds and scales the world’s first AI-native full-service law firm. The role combines business strategy, firm operations, and CEO support, with constant exposure to senior law firm partners, enterprise clients, and technical teams building the AI that powers the platform.

If you’re someone who thrives under intensity, has exceptional judgment, and loves translating strategy into action—this seat will put you at the center of the most important decisions, meetings, and operating rhythms of the firm.

• Serve as the CEO’s right hand, helping define, prioritize, and execute strategic initiatives across the firm.
• Attend high-stakes meetings with the CEO (and at times as his delegate) involving senior partners, clients, engineering leaders, and external stakeholders.
• Capture key takeaways, synthesize insights into recommendations, and ensure relentless follow-through on action items.
• Build and manage project plans tied to firm growth and operations—tracking deadlines, dependencies, owners, and deliverables.
• Anticipate CEO needs: prepare briefing materials, run strategic research, and support decision-making with crisp analysis.
• Partner with senior stakeholders on core business operations, including client development, pricing, staffing/resourcing, and profitability.
• Help define how the firm structures, prices, and positions AI-enabled legal services in the market.
• Support the build-out of new practice areas and broader market positioning.
• Lead special projects tied to emerging business needs and operational priorities.
• Collaborate closely with engineers and data teams to translate performance data into pricing insights and broader business strategy.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex discussions into clear next steps.
• Proven experience managing strategic projects and driving execution in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and calm under intensity.
• Strong judgment and the ability to operate with discretion in senior-level environments.
• High-ownership, independent operator who can “get things done” without layers of support.
• Comfort working cross-functionally with legal, technical, and business stakeholders.

• $200,000–$280,000 base + equity
