Account Executive, Legal

About Centari

At Centari, we're transforming the world's contracts into actionable intelligence. Every firm has the same AI now. What separates them is institutional intelligence: how the firm has structured deals, priced risk, and navigated markets across every transaction it has closed. It's why a client picks one law firm over another, and why an LP backs one fund over the next. And today, this knowledge sits buried in closed deals and in the heads of the people who worked on them.

Centari brings it to the surface as structured data that AI can act on, empowering companies to generate new revenue and see opportunities no one else can.

The most demanding transactional practices in the world already build on Centari, including deal teams at Ropes & Gray, DLA Piper, Willkie, Fried Frank, and Wilson Sonsini. We proved it in law. Finance and the enterprise face the same problem at even greater scale, and we're going after all of it.

We raised an oversubscribed Series A from investors including Sentinel Global, GTMfund, South Park Commons, Jack Altman, RiverPark Capital, and Recall Capital, and now we're building the team to match our ambition.

The Role

We're hiring an Account Executive, Legal to build pipeline and close new business with law firms. You'll run full sales cycles with transactional practices, from first outreach to signed engagement, and help build the playbook for expansion.

This role is based in our New York office, with travel of up to 30%.

What You'll Own

Revenue. You run the full sales cycle, from first conversation to signed six or seven-figure engagement, working with law firm partners and knowledge management and innovation leaders. You’ll start with both a warm pipeline and target list and make every relationship your own from the first meeting.

The multi-stakeholder sale. A partner wants to win mandates, KM wants data it can trust, and IT and procurement want answers on security. You build the case for each of them and keep the deal moving.

Commercial terms. You agree pilot success criteria and pricing before a pilot starts, then stay on the account with our customer success team until it converts to a paid engagement. You take each deal through security review and contract negotiation to signature.

Forecasting. Your CRM reflects what is actually happening in each deal and what’s needed to move it forward.

What You Bring

2–5 years in a quota-carrying B2B software sales role with a record of hitting your number. Come with the specifics: quota, attainment, average deal size, and a deal you sourced yourself.

Experience selling to law firms, corporate legal teams, or professional services firms.

You like prospecting and you're good at it. You can get a busy partner or KM leader to take a first meeting.

You've taken enterprise deals through procurement: security reviews, MSA negotiation, and contract redlines.

Nice to have: familiarity with transactional work in M&A, a legal background (JD, paralegal, legal operations), or experience at an early-stage company.
