General Counsel

What you'll do

You run simulated contract negotiations and redlining exercises, then review how an AI handles the same scenarios and give expert feedback on how it identifies risk and interprets contract language.

The durable part is framework building: writing objective evaluation criteria and grading rubrics so model performance on contract tasks is measured consistently rather than by impression. You also work with product and research teams to refine the data and guidelines behind the contract review work.

The work is part-time by design, fully remote and task-based.

What you need

• At least three years of in-house experience focused on technology transactions, specifically negotiating MSAs, NDAs and DPAs
• Exceptional written and verbal communication, with meticulous attention to detail
• Strong analytical ability, and the knack of turning legal expertise into feedback an AI team can act on
• A demonstrated interest in the intersection of law and technology
• Experience working with cross-disciplinary teams in fast-paced environments

No bar admission, jurisdiction, firm tier, or law school ranking is asked for.

Nice to have

• Prior exposure to AI, legal tech, or model training initiatives

What it pays

$90–130/hour, earned per task rather than per hour:

Compensation is task-based, meaning experts are paid per completed task that meets the project specifications. The average handling time (AHT) is approximately 3.5 hours per task, and the effective hourly rate will depend on the number of tasks completed and successfully signed off.

Three things follow.

A task is substantial: three and a half hours on average is half a working day.

Payment depends on work being "successfully signed off". Work that is not accepted is not paid, and nothing covers time spent on output that comes back rejected. No sign-off rate or revision policy is published.

The hourly figure is a target rather than a floor. If the band is meant to be reached at the average handling time, a signed-off task works out at roughly $315–455. That is our arithmetic on the two published numbers, not a rate stated in the ad, so confirm it rather than plan around it.

Worth knowing

Good:

• The pay mechanism is spelled out, including the average handling time
• No bar admission, firm tier, law school ranking, or jurisdiction specified
• 100 openings, and explicitly part-time by design
• Rubric and framework design is durable work rather than throwaway review

Less good:

• Task-based pay means unaccepted work is unpaid, and no sign-off rate is published
• A 3.5-hour average is an average. Your first tasks will run longer, at your own cost
• No per-task fee is published, so the hourly band is a projection rather than a rate you can hold anyone to
• Narrow specialism: MSAs, NDAs and DPAs. Broad general counsel experience without tech-transaction depth is not what is being asked for
• No screening process, start date, or project duration is stated
• Contractor engagement: no benefits, no notice period, your own tax to manage
• The work builds tools for contract review, which is worth weighing if you have a view on what that means for junior legal roles
