WHY JOIN IVO?
Contracts are the oldest business technology in human history. They allow us to collaborate: they define what we promise each other, how we work together, and what happens when things go wrong.
Ivo builds AI products that helps companies like Meta, Uber, IBM, Intel, DoorDash, Mitsubishi Electric, and Coinbase solve their most difficult contracting problems. We think that large language models have created an opportunity to fundamentally change how businesses collaborate with each other.
At Ivo you will work on challenging problems with colleagues who have high standards for each other, move fast, and care deeply about their craft.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Ivo is building the contracting infrastructure the global economy runs on. Contracts underpin a company’s relationships with its customers, suppliers, partners, and employees. Yet the work of reviewing them and keeping track of what they say still depends heavily on people reading documents. We believe that will change and human review alone will go from the gold standard to a risk businesses can no longer justify.
We’re building toward that future with AI that can review and redline agreements against a company’s standards and answer questions across its contracts. Legal teams at companies including Meta, Uber, and IBM already use Ivo. But our ambition reaches every team that touches a contract, from the salesperson trying to close a deal to the finance team accounting for the revenue.
Customers are already taking us there. At one customer, the legal team introduced Ivo to their accounting colleagues. The accounting team uses it to find the contract details they need to record revenue correctly. We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to build on that demand and make Ivo indispensable to sales, procurement, and finance teams.
You’ll help decide what we build for those teams and why. We have a strong product vision and engineers who take ownership and deliver. Working with our product leader, you’ll turn customer demand into a strategy: which problems we should commit to solving, where the opportunity is greatest, and what we should leave for later. This is a chance to shape a major expansion of Ivo’s business, with customers who are excited to help shape the right solution.
You’ll work directly on the product questions AI makes possible: what can we now do for a customer that used to require hours of manual work, how do we know the result is reliable, and when should a person stay involved? You’ll explore those questions with engineers and designers and put the answers into products customers use. It’s an opportunity to build the judgment and experience to lead AI products as the technology changes what software can do.
