As a core member of the early team, you will work as a close partner to the CEO with wide ownership, wearing several hats, and moving between deep legal detail and company-level priorities as the day demands.

Responsibilities

Product and Legal Input

• Translate funds and private equity legal workflows, and what clients and the market need, into clear direction for the engineering team so what Navys builds reflects real market practice and real demand
• Work with engineering to structure legal knowledge, review outputs for legal precision, and act as the bridge between legal expertise and technical implementation

Sales and Client Ownership

• Own sales end to end, from sourcing and qualifying leads through pitching, negotiating, and closing new clients, carrying real responsibility for pipeline and revenue
• Build and deepen relationships with private equity funds, other private capital funds, GPs, LPs, and the law firms that serve them, from first conversation through to long-term partnership
• Translate complex legal workflows into clear commercial value, and stay close to clients to onboard them, drive adoption, and turn them into advocates and references

Growth and Marketing

• Shape how Navys is positioned and talked about in the market, owning messaging, content, and outbound so the story lands with a funds and private equity audience
• Build and run the demand and pipeline motion in the early phase, then define the processes and hires to scale it

Internal Operations

• Keep the company running day to day, owning internal operations across the team and stepping in wherever there are gaps
• Set up and improve the systems, tools, and processes that help a small team move quickly, and take on the internal projects that keep everything on track
