DISCO Associate, Emerging Leader Rotational Program

As a DISCO Associate, you’ll quickly build and apply business, legal, leadership and technical expertise to real world problems and projects. Working alongside top legal minds, entrepreneurs, and technologists, you’ll make a meaningful impact while deepening your skills with one-to-one attention from our leaders and coaches. DISCO’s ELRP is a launchpad for emerging leaders in business and technology. 

In ELRP, you will:

• Develop expertise in multiple functional areas through 9-12 month rotations. For example, your rotations might include customer success, product marketing, public relations, product management, design, recruiting, financial planning & analysis, operations, or business intelligence. Following your rotation, you can progress within that department or transition to another team. 
• Join a diverse cohort of top achievers on an accelerated journey to a “lead” role
• Learn our business, including the legal industry and legal technology, as well as how different functions work together to drive a high-growth tech company.
• Make an impact on core strategic initiatives. For example, you might help launch a new product or geography, develop a new approach to revenue forecasting, experiment with a new marketing program or lead generation strategy, or help assess a potential acquisition.

DISCO is committed to helping you find the ‘sweet spot’ where your strengths, interests and purpose align. We’re making careers possible, and that means equipping every DISCOvian with the one-to-one guidance, support, skills and career options to contribute to a variety of projects, teams, and departments. We’re bringing this vision to life, and launching a new program designed to  grow the top early career professionals into our future leaders and executives. 

Our Associate program is a rare opportunity to accelerate your career by learning how a high-growth tech company operates, build a resume that demonstrates your ability to make an impact across multiple business functions, and find your fit by rotating through different roles and teams. 

Successful Associates can continue to lead roles at DISCO, elect for outplacement at other companies in the legal or technology industries, or return for a graduate degree in law, business or another field.

If you’re driven to make an impact, motivated to continually learn and grow, and are known for your entrepreneurial spirit, then DISCO is the right place for you! Join the 2023 class of Emerging Leader Rotation Program as a DISCO Associate and launch your career at a high-growth company whose mission is to use technology to strengthen the rule of law. 

Law affects everyone, from the largest multinational corporations to local mom-and-pop businesses, from the most powerful national governments to the smallest towns and from major civic organizations to individual citizens. However, the legal industry has lagged behind other industries in digitization and cloud technology adoption. The opportunity to innovate through legal technology can be quantified not only in billions of dollars, but in life-changing experiences for attorneys, freed from mundane tasks and able to fully do what they went to law school for.  

As the impact of law on the business world grows, joining DISCO is an opportunity to do meaningful work with an enormous positive impact on society. We believe that great achievements come from aiming great people at big problems; and as “Discovians,” you will be the principal driver of our success. Our commitment to creating an environment where all people feel welcome and connected regardless of their backgrounds, along with our MAGIC culture and values (Meaningful Impact, All-in, Grit and Grace, Innovation and Craft) shape the way we treat each other, serve our customers, and give back to our community.
