About the role

ABOUT NOOKS.AI http://Nooks.ai: Nooks is an applied AI lab building the Agent Workspace for GTM. We design AI agents that operate across the full sales action set, from account strategy to prospect research and outreach. Building 0→1 has never been easier, but selling at the speed of the market remains the last frontier for AI. Our mission is to 10x every seller by automating the busywork so they can focus on what humans do best: closing deals. Today, over 1,500 customers run on Nooks, including Notion, HubSpot, Cursor, and Rippling. We’ve raised $70M+ from top VCs like Kleiner Perkins, which made its first sales-tech investment in over a decade with us. Since then, we’ve tripled ARR each year for 3 years running and grown a high-caliber team turning the art of sales into a scalable science. ABOUT THE ROLE This is the second hire into the Nooks Legal team, and Chief of Staff to our VP of Legal. You will build the foundations of the function: the systems, processes, and AI layer that allow Legal to keep pace with a quickly growing company. Day to day, you will be the Legal team's partner to go-to-market, own the operations and technology the function runs on, and handle requests that do not need a lawyer while escalating the ones that do. If you are a senior paralegal, contract manager, or legal operations professional, this is written for you. You do not need to be a lawyer. You do need to have used AI tools meaningfully in your own work and have a feel for where they save real time and where they quietly get things wrong. If you have ever thought most of your week could be automated and been mildly annoyed that nobody had done it, we should talk. WHAT YOU’LL DO PARTNER WITH GO-TO-MARKET Sales is where most Legal volume originates and where this role will be felt first. - Lead on commercial contract questions where a position already exists, across MSAs, DPAs, NDAs, and standard terms - Be the trusted partner and day-to-day support for the sales team, so Legal is something they work with rather than wait on - Build the workflows and processes that route Legal work effectively, in partnership with Revenue Operations - Create and maintain self-serve guidance that enables the team to answer more questions independently over time SUPPORT THE WIDER FUNCTION - Handle inbound requests across privacy, vendor and procurement matters, and routine compliance and corporate matters - Resolve what is covered by existing policy, escalate what requires Legal judgment, and make sure requests arrive complete OWN THE OPERATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY THE FUNCTION RUNS ON - Contract lifecycle management, from implementation through to ongoing ownership and maintenance - The records and systems that let us answer what we have agreed and what it commits us to - Signature routing and authority - Vendor and third-party onboarding and contracting - Supporting GRC on security and customer diligence requests - Corporate, employment and insurance administration, working with People and Finance Run and extend the AI layer: AI agents already run a good part of how Legal works day to day: reviewing contracts and documents, drafting, triaging what comes in, and helping to prioritize. This person will: - Maintain and extend the library, and decide what gets automated next - Measure where the agents get things wrong and feed improvements back in - Define where an agent can assist and where a human decides This is ongoing rather than a one-time build. As the business grows and our positions change, the agents need to change with them. ABOUT YOU Senior paralegals, contract managers, Legal operations professionals, and strong operators from adjacent functions are all genuinely in scope. - You have worked with commercial contracts and have good judgment about where the risk sits in a negotiation, what matters, and what can be conceded - You draft accurately and quickly, and you are careful with version
