Wordsmith
Wordsmith is building the legal operations platform for in-house teams, and we are growing fast.
We believe in-house legal is becoming one of the most important functions in the AI era. Every business is moving faster, but legal work is still too often scattered across inboxes, chats, documents, and disconnected systems.
Wordsmith brings that work into one system. Requests come in from across the business, AI agents handle the routine, lawyers stay in control where judgment matters, and every step is captured as work happens.
We are built for in-house legal, not law firms. Our goal is to help legal teams move faster, reduce unnecessary external counsel spend, and become a function the business can run with.
More than 500 companies, including Financial Times, Safelite, Trip.com, Canva, Starling, and Sage, use Wordsmith. Backed by $100M from Index Ventures, General Catalyst, Highland Europe, and others, we are building one of the defining companies in legal AI.
The Role
We’re hiring a Global Office & Facilities Manager to own our offices and workplace operations across multiple locations. We’re moving fast on this hire and aiming to have someone in seat in the next few weeks.
You’ll ensure our spaces run smoothly, feel high quality, and support a high-performance, office-first culture. This includes day-to-day facilities management, office launches, vendor management, health & safety, workplace experience, and scaling systems as we grow. Edinburgh is your base, but expect to travel to launch and support our other sites including London and New York.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a hands-on, high-tempo role for someone with serious drive. You’ll be the person we call when something needs sorting, and you’ll take pride in creating environments where world-class teams can do their best work.

- Partner with People, IT, and leadership on onboarding, events, and employee experience
- Maintain compliance across health & safety, workplace regulations, and risk controls
- Respond quickly to issues and keep disruption to a minimum
- Continuously improve how our spaces look, feel, and function
What we’re looking for
- Serious energy, drive, and hustle. You want to own this and run with it
- Bias to action. You move fast and respond quickly when things need sorting, including out of hours when it matters
- Experience managing offices or facilities in a fast-growing company
- Multi-site or international experience preferred, and happy to travel to set up and support our London and New York teams
- Strong operator mindset, organised, practical, and reliable
- High standards, sharp eye for detail, and pride in how things look and feel
