Partnerships and Legal

About SoWork

We're a fast-growing startup founded at Harvard's Innovation Labs. Our mission is to move the world of work from the Earth to the Cloud . We're doing this by building the world's first MMOW ('massively multiplayer online workplace') where the world's best teams work from, form communities, and socialize.
People spend the majority of their lives working - and there is no reason it shouldn't be delightful, functional, and all online. This would let people live their own lives on their own terms, wherever in the world they'd like. They'd be able to spend more time with loved ones, they'd be able to travel, and we as a group could then completely eliminate the need to commute into busy, expensive city centers. Once we start to make digital work wonderful and connected, we make remote work something that companies embrace and encourage. At scale - imagine what that does for our collective carbon footprint. We could really save the world here, people!
To do this, we've been hard at work building what will be a massive, open-world workplace, with private buildings and community, social spaces alike. Think 'World of Warcraft', but for work (World of Workcraft, anyone? ...No one? Ugh fine ). This is a place where business moves, community is made, and social events happen.
We'd love for you to join us!
Partnerships and Legal at SoWork is a pretty crazy gig. You get to do important things, and do them well. We're in an exciting space where many companies are keen on partnering with us. These businesses sometimes want to help distribute us, sometimes want to plug into our World, and sometimes want to truly partner to deliver experiences. How fun! But while a privilege, there are lots of i's to cross and t's to dot - wait, did I mess that up? That's why we need you!
