About Us

Sandstone is on a mission to elevate in-house legal from a support function into a true strategic partner. From day one, we’ve been clear about what we are—and are not. We are not replacing in-house legal teams. We are building a platform that amplifies them.

Our platform enables modern legal teams to move at the speed of AI, deliver better outcomes, and create measurable business value. We unify legal data, power end-to-end workflows, and organize business context within the tools teams already use. Sandstone is the home for AI-native legal departments.

Today, Sandstone is trusted by Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing innovators alike. We ship quickly, iterate relentlessly, and scale with intention.

When you join Sandstone, you become part of a team that believes deeply in the compounding power of collaboration, rigorous problem-solving, and obsessive attention to detail. Our engineering team is elite, our lawyers ship code every day, and we are dedicated to building the most delightful product an in-house lawyer opens in the morning—and closes at the end of the day.

The role

We’re seeking a Chief of Staff / Ops Lead, based in New York, to help scale Sandstone. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and GTM.

You will act as a force multiplier for the broader team—owning critical initiatives, driving cross-functional alignment, and ensuring the company stays focused on what matters most.

Key responsibilities

Serve as a strategic partner to the whole team, helping prioritize time, decisions, and initiatives.

• Facilitate effective leadership meetings with clear agendas and follow-through, improving internal communication and information flow across the company

• Own and execute special projects that don't neatly fit into one function, stepping in where the business needs leverage most at any given time

• Manage talent acquisition and the HR function as we continue to scale the team

Experience

The role is well suited to candidates with backgrounds in top-tier consulting (MBB) or investment banking, who are looking to move closer to execution, decision-making, and company-building.

• 2+ years of experience in Management consulting (MBB strongly preferred), or Investment banking, private equity, or a similarly rigorous analytical role

• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills

• Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable with exec-level materials

• High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple workstreams

• Strong ownership mindset and bias toward action

• Discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive information

• Desire to learn how a business operates end-to-end

Nice to Have

• Exposure to startups or high-growth environments

• Experience working directly with senior stakeholders

• Interest in moving into an operating role over time (e.g. Ops, Product, Strategy)

Growth Opportunity

This role offers significant exposure to company strategy and leadership and is intended as a launchpad into senior operating roles within the business over time.
