Responsibilities

Every product above lives in a category whose rules haven't been written yet. State legislatures, the FTC and the EU are writing them right now. What should a shared online world for eight-year-olds allow? How should an AI talk to a child? Who verifies a kid's identity, and what happens to that data? Some company will answer these questions well, in public, and earn the trust of parents and schools for a generation. We want that company to be Dojo, and we want you to lead it.
As Head of Legal you'll sit on the leadership team and work directly with our co-founders. You'll own all of legal: product, privacy, commercial, corporate, employment, IP, regulatory and litigation. You'll inherit good foundations, including a small in-house team, trusted outside counsel and working commercial and privacy processes. Your job is to make them great.
We have strong views on how this should work. Trust is our moat, and the right Head of Legal makes it deeper every quarter while teams ship faster. The best legal answer is usually a version of yes with sensible guardrails, reached early, before anyone has spent months building the wrong thing. We also think AI now lets a small team of exceptional lawyers do what used to take fifteen. You'll get to prove it.
Your first 18 months
Make Dojo the company parents trust most with their kids.
Decide where Dojo stands on the hardest questions in kids' tech, and say it publicly before regulators decide for us: AI that talks to children, kids playing together online, and how products for kids should make money.
Figure out which seals and certifications actually change a parent's or a district's mind, then win them.
Make privacy one of the reasons districts pick Dojo.
When a regulator calls, handle it so well that the product and our reputation come out unharmed.
Make legal the reason things ship faster.
Get pulled into the room early by product, engineering and partnerships, because you make their plans better. Find the version that can ship, name the one or two real showstoppers, and tell the team what to do this week.
Turn standard contracts in hours and product questions in two days.
