Full-time, Hybrid, Sydney
Checkbox is a Series A Sequoia-backed technology start-up with a mission to enable meaningful work for all. To achieve this, we built a no-code automation platform with the belief that the power of digital creation needs to be accessible to everyone, not just IT teams. Seeing non-technical users surprisingly delighted when they use our technology to create in ways they never thought they ever could motivate us. Whilst our mission is big, our focus is sharp. Today we’re focused on in-house legal departments from companies including Disney, Elastic, J Frog, SAP and Coca-Cola.
Recently, we expanded our offering to not only help people do meaningful work, but manage it too. This came with the launch of our AI-powered Intake & Matter Management product – the “JIRA for lawyers”. This is part of our broader vision to be the “Legal Service Hub” for organizations, responsible for how legal work is raised, allocated, managed, and resolved. We believe that one day the Legal Service Hub will be as ubiquitous for legal teams as the CRM for commercial teams and we will win this category.
As a company, we are a young and tight-knit team of about 90 people across the United States, Australia, and Asia, made up of incredible high performers and Co-Founders in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Our culture is one of our superpowers. It's what people talk about when they join us, work with us, and leave us.

At Checkbox you will be joining a small tight-knit team of passionate, intelligent & driven people. It is vital for us that our people feel a sense of individual impact, trust, and continuous growth while solving challenging problems to get things done. Our product team members are the innovators in our business, paving the way for growth opportunities and driving outcomes across our teams, and we’re always seeking smart, creative & driven people to join our team to build a world-leading product. You will be working with team members primarily based out of Australia & SEA.
Our design challenges are complex: Chief legal officers want visibility into the work attorneys do, but legal requests come in from all sorts of different channels ranging from Slack, email, intranet, Salesforce, JIRA, etc. Legal teams also need the ability to effectively triage work to the right teams and/or individuals, but solving this for teams of 10 looks significantly different to solving this for teams of 100.
Attorneys also spend so much time on low value, repetitive work like reviewing standard contracts, asking for more information to provide legal judgements, and looking up historical cases & documents. How can we help them with this & allow them to focus on more strategic, high value work?
