About the role
Commercial Associate (SDR) New York Wordsmith Most legal teams are drowning. They’re buried under internal questions, contract reviews, policy approvals, and fire drills from every corner of the business. Wordsmith is the AI command centre for in-house legal. We automate the chaos — intake, Q&A, redlines, drafting, and research — so legal can operate at the speed of business. We’re building the future of legal work. Backed by Index Ventures and leading operators across law and AI, we’re scaling quickly across London, New York, and beyond.
The Role We’re hiring a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to spearhead our outbound engine and book high-quality opportunities with in-house legal teams. This is the frontline of our growth. You’ll be responsible for finding the right accounts, crafting compelling outreach, and breaking into companies. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our Account Executives (AEs) and Marketing teams to build a predictable pipeline. This is an early-stage environment. Things move fast, priorities shift, and there isn’t always a clear playbook. You’ll need to be resilient, highly organized, and willing to experiment with new ways to get a prospect’s attention. What you’ll do Build and execute targeted outbound campaigns (email, cold calling, LinkedIn) to general counsel and legal leaders. Consistently hit and exceed monthly meeting-booked and pipeline targets. Partner closely with AEs to strategize on key accounts and ensure smooth handoffs. Act as a feedback loop for Marketing and Product by tracking what messaging resonates most with the market. Maintain meticulous CRM data — keeping track of accounts, prospects, and outreach activity. What we’re looking for 1+ year of SaaS sales or lead generation experience (experience selling to legal, finance, or compliance is a major plus, but not required). A relentless work ethic — you aren't afraid of the phone and view "no" as data, not a deterrent. Strong written and verbal communication skills; you can cut through the noise with clear, value-led messaging. High curiosity and coachability; you want to master the product, the market, and the art of sales. High ownership — you take responsibility for outcomes, not just logging activities. Organized, consistent, and reliable with excellent time management.
