At Rogo, we are building Wall Street's first true AI analyst. Our mission is to empower finance professionals at the world’s top investment banks, private equity funds, and investment firms with AI that delivers unparalleled speed, accuracy, and insight.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, demand excellence, and want to help build the future of finance, we invite you to join us.

The Role

Rogo is making its first commercial legal hire to partner with our Head of Legal and scale the company’s contracting function. This is a high‑impact role for a business-minded attorney who’s able to work independently and build the legal infrastructure that enables Rogo to scale with speed and consistency.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead end-to-end negotiations of high-value MSAs and other commercial agreements with major banks and financial institutions.

  • Own negotiations with data and content providers, including data‑licensing and partnership agreements.

  • Partner closely with the Sales, Product, Security and Operations teams to structure business-aligned agreements and translate complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance.

  • Implement and manage Rogo’s commercial contracting infrastructure: operationalize legal tech tools to increase efficiency and design negotiation templates, playbooks and approval workflows.

  • Partner with the Head of Legal on high-impact strategic initiatives.

What You’ll Need

  • A JD from a top law school and 3–6 years of legal experience, with a strong preference for top-tier law firm training in a technology transactions, IP or emerging companies practice group and/or in-house experience at a high-growth SaaS, data or AI company.

  • Demonstrated experience owning and closing commercial agreements independently and strong working knowledge of IP licensing, privacy, data-use rights and AI.

  • Prior experience implementing and managing legal tech tools and enthusiasm about building scalable systems and processes from scratch.

  • Genuine interest in new technologies, software and finance.

  • Sound commercial judgment and comfort making decisions in a fast‑moving start-up environment.

Who You Are

  • You thrive in fast-paced environments. You are high-intensity and care a lot about what you do, and you're ecstatic to work at a startup.

  • You are ambitious. You have fun solving problems that others think are impossible.

  • You are curious. You find joy in learning about AI, technology, and finance.

  • You are an owner. You are autonomous, self-directed, and comfortable working with ambiguity.

  • You are collaborative, organized, thoughtful, and kind.

Why Join Rogo?

  • Exceptional traction: strong PMF with the world's largest investment banks, hedge funds, and private equity firms.

  • World-class team: we take talent density seriously. We like working with incredibly smart, driven people.
