Senior Content Writer (AUS)

The Company

Checkbox is a Sequoia-backed technology start-up with a mission to enable meaningful work for all. To achieve this, we built a no-code automation platform with the belief that the power of digital creation needs to be accessible to everyone, not just IT teams. Seeing non-technical users surprisingly delighted when they use our technology to create in ways they never thought they ever could motivate us. Whilst our mission is big, our focus is sharp. Our customers today are primarily in-house legal departments from companies including SAP, BMW, Allianz, Pinterest, and Coca-Cola.

Recently, we expanded our offering to not only help people do meaningful work, but manage it too. This came with the launch of our AI-powered Matter Management product – the “JIRA for lawyers”. This is part of our broader vision to be the “Legal Service Hub” for organisations, responsible for how legal work is raised, allocated, managed, and resolved. We believe that one day the Legal Service Hub will be as ubiquitous for legal teams as the CRM for commercial teams.

As a company, we are a young and tight-knit team of about 40 people across the United States, Australia, and Asia, made up of incredible high performers and Co-Founders in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Our culture is one of our superpowers. It's what people talk about when they join us, work with us, and leave us.
