About EvenUp

EvenUp is one of the fastest-growing generative AI startups in history, on a mission to level the playing field for personal injury victims, which range from motor vehicle accidents to child abuse cases. Our products empower law firms to secure faster settlements, higher payouts, and better outcomes for those who need it most.

The Special Operations Team at EvenUp operates at the intersection between Business Operations, Special Projects, Product, and Legal Operations. The team is dedicated to delivering consistent improvement in operational metrics, productivity, efficiency, and overall performance across the organization. Sample Special Operations projects include expanding the footprint of our operations team into international markets, launching new offices, providing operational support to new product launches, and creating Learning & Development training programs across EvenUp.

Our ideal candidate would have experience wearing multiple hats in operations and will have had experience building robust, actionable analytics, program management, and managing teams or operations in legal technology, service delivery, or operational companies.

• Demonstrated success in developing and executing plans that improve operational metrics and drive business growth
