Application Reviewer (Remote) - 2 Month Fixed Term Contract

The Company

Hey - I’m Jaysen. I run The Corporate Law Academy or ‘TCLA’. It's the largest forum in the legal profession. 

The goal is simple: school and university teach you subject theory. The legal world requires a different set of skills, like clear writing and speaking, or an understanding of the financial world. We’re building Khan Academy for the working world to bridge the gap between the two.

Our forum is big. We get up to 2,000 posts a week between September and February, 60,000 monthly active users and a 9 minute average engagement time.

3. Providing line-by-line comments and in-depth feedback to the TCLA standard across all the leading law firms
4. Delighting our members with exceptional service
