Why this grade This listing scored 67/100, which is a C. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Freshness 12 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →

That is the middle half of what comparable roles paid on this board over the last 90 days — 224 listings that did publish a figure, median $117k. It is not this employer's offer, and we have no idea what they pay. It is only what the rest of the market advertised.

Legal Ark AI · First Sales Leader · Job Description · REMOTE (US)
https://legalark.ai and [email protected]
About:
Legal Ark AI serves as the workflow intelligence engine for estate planning practices. Our platform converts unstructured client data into high-confidence, verified facts prior to document generation, empowering legal teams to accelerate throughput, mitigate risk, and scale efficiently without a linear increase in headcount.
The Role:
As our first Director of Sales, you will own new business revenue end to end and build the sales engine from the ground up. You will personally close early deals, figure out the repeatable playbook, and then hire and lead the team that scales it.
What You’ll Own:
- New business ACV: land our core market, estate planning firms with 1 to 25 attorneys, and structure larger deals where they make sense. Large litigation firms are not our market.
- The playbook: build outreach, qualification, demo, and close motions from scratch; find the repeatable recipe, then document and scale it.
- The team: hire and lead SDRs and inside reps as revenue supports, so you move from doing everything to leading a team that does.
- The stack: own the sales tooling (prospecting, CRM, sequencing, automation) and choose what makes the team most efficient.
- Pricing and packaging: partner with the founders on pricing, tiers, security and white glove options, and value gating; be the eyes and ears on what customers will pay for.
- Market signal: feed product and customer success with what you hear in the field, and represent Legal Ark AI at industry events.
What Success Looks Like:
You ramp quickly to a new business quota (target Year 1 new ACV of approximately $3,000,000, roughly 250 seats at current pricing), establish a repeatable motion, and lay the foundation for a team that carries the company toward its growth and exit goals.
Who You Are:
- A proven B2B SaaS closer who has built processes, not just worked someone else’s.
- Experienced selling to SMB and moving deals upmarket; comfortable running the full cycle, from first touch to signature.
- Energized by an early stage, commission only structure where your earnings track directly to the revenue you bring in.
- A builder and leader who can hire, coach, and scale a small team.
Someone who can sell a product that augments attorneys and their staff rather than replacing them, and who is comfortable leading with verification and confidence in the data rather than speed alone.
- Legal tech, AI, professional services, or legal sales experience is a plus, not required.
Compensation:
Uncapped commission
