Who we are:
BoostDraft is reinventing legal drafting with a local Microsoft Word add-in that automates tedious formatting and elevates the daily work of legal professionals. Founded by MIT and Stanford alumni, we have grown to over 10,000 paying users and earned adoption at 17 of Japan’s top 20 law firms, mostly through organic word of mouth and product excellence, achieving profitability without external funding until December 2024.
Why BoostDraft needs you:
Following our massive success in Japan, we are rapidly expanding our global footprint. We are seeking a Regional Business Development Representative (APAC) to spearhead our growth across key APAC markets, with a strategic focus on Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.
While we have an established sales organization in Japan, you will be the first dedicated Regional Business Development Representative for the broader APAC region. You will have the unique opportunity to build our presence from the ground up, leveraging your deep understanding of the legal sector to drive new business in these critical markets.

- Market Evangelism:
- Act as the face of BoostDraft in the APAC legal community (events, conferences, referrals), building trust and understanding regional industry trends to articulate our unique value proposition.

- Existing relationships and networks within the legal industry in key APAC markets are a strong advantage.

- You know how to identify decision makers, navigate complex organizational structures within law firms, and close deals.
