To help entrepreneurship become accessible to everyone by providing founders with tools to create, build, and scale their ideas.
Role
Who you are
- This is a role for someone who loves combining customer empathy with operational thinking - someone who thrives in a fast paced, collaborative environment and enjoys making things work better at scale
- A background in law, accountancy, compliance or tax
- Demonstrable experience in equity, share options, company valuations, company law, or startup finance. Previous exposure to EMI schemes and EMI Valuations is a major plus

- Process-driven and highly organised, quick to spot ways to improve efficiency or fix pain points
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills and candidates who thrive when helping others

- Motivated by both individual ownership and team success
What the job involves
- As a Share Options Associate, you’ll be at the heart of how SeedLegals helps startups reward and retain their teams. You’ll work directly with founders and legal teams to guide them through setting up and managing their EMI and Unapproved Share Option schemes - but your impact doesn't stop there

- Creating scalable processes and playbooks
- Feeding directly into our product development by sharing insights, testing features, and shaping new tools
- Collaborating cross-functionally with Sales, Legal and Engineering to make complex things feel simple for customers
- You’ll help us not just support startups, but scale the platform that powers them
- Guiding customers through the setup and management of their EMI and Unapproved Share Option schemes
- Supporting clients with EMI valuations and occasionally assisting with correspondence with HMRC
- Providing responsive, accurate support through HubSpot live chat, email, and Zoom
- Delivering outstanding customer experience that is compliant, efficient, and founder-friendly
- Working cross-functionally with our Legal, Sales, and Product teams to improve workflows and build better tools
- Helping develop content and training materials to scale our support across a growing customer base
- Providing feedback to shape the Options product and support ongoing improvements

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Increasing numbers of startups are getting funded in the UK and all require legal help with their financing.
SeedLegals identified a big burning pain: no founder wants to handle a bad fundraising experience because of legals. Previously founders would have to pay a decent chunk of the money they've just worked hard to raise, but the SeedLegals platform has provided a step change in cost.
The focus on a very specific niche (startups) has meant they have built a very tailored product, and word of mouth within startups is strong.
While they primarily focus on helping companies with fundraising, they also offer additional services (e.g. option schemes), and they're in a strong position to expand their offering to other legal needs.
