Lawly is an early-stage startup building a marketplace for law school admissions consulting. As part of our Business Development & Partnership team, you'll handle two critical supply-side functions: recruiting consultants (former admissions officers, T14 students, experienced advisors) and building distribution partnerships with LSAT companies, tutors, podcasts, and pre-law organizations.

You'll perform outreach to potential consultants, onboard new consultants, pitch partnership deals to LSAT prep companies and independent tutors, and develop affiliate programs with discount codes. This role combines recruiting, sales, and business development. We need persistent, resourceful self-starters who can handle rejection, close deals, and build relationships that drive growth.
