Wordsmith
Wordsmith is building the legal operations platform for in-house teams, and we are growing fast.
We believe in-house legal is becoming one of the most important functions in the AI era. Every business is moving faster, but legal work is still too often scattered across inboxes, chats, documents, and disconnected systems.
Wordsmith brings that work into one system. Requests come in from across the business, AI agents handle the routine, lawyers stay in control where judgment matters, and every step is captured as work happens.
We are built for in-house legal, not law firms. Our goal is to help legal teams move faster, reduce unnecessary external counsel spend, and become a function the business can run with.
More than 500 companies, including Financial Times, Safelite, Trip.com, Canva, Starling, and Sage, use Wordsmith. Backed by $100M from Index Ventures, General Catalyst, Highland Europe, and others, we are building one of the defining companies in legal AI.
The Role
We’re hiring an Enterprise Account Executive - DACH to lead complex, high-value deals across large organisations across the DACH region.
You’ll be responsible for building and progressing a focused set of strategic opportunities. This means navigating multiple stakeholders, building internal champions, and creating alignment across legal, technical, and commercial teams.
You’ll work closely with Legal Engineers, Product, and Leadership, but you own the deal strategy and the outcome.
What you’ll do
Own a portfolio of high-value, enterprise opportunities
Build and execute deal strategies across complex buying groups
Navigate stakeholders across Legal, Finance, Security, IT, and Procurement

Track record of landing and expanding high-value accounts
Strong stakeholder management across multiple functions
Ability to build champions and navigate internal politics
Structured, strategic approach to deal management
High ownership and accountability for outcomes
How we work
We’re an in-office team. We work together because it makes us faster, sharper, and more effective. You should expect to be in the office our out visiting clients as your default.
This is a high performance environment. We set a high bar, move quickly, and expect people to take ownership of real problems.
There isn’t always a clear path. The people who do well here figure things out, stay close to the work, and keep pushing until they get to the right outcome.
This role requires patience, structure, and strong judgement. You’ll be trusted to run complex deals with a high degree of autonomy.
Why Wordsmith
We’re in a period of strong momentum — growing quickly, winning new customers, and expanding into larger accounts.
The product is landing well, the market is ready, and the team is scaling to meet demand.
