About the job
Responsibilities
- Serve as the air traffic control hub for the Legal team — own the legal intake system, triage all incoming requests, route to the right owner, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks
- Identify and pilot AI-native approaches to legal operations and bring the team along on adoption, using and building enterprise AI in day-to-day operations
- Own CLM operations day-to-day: maintain and run automated workflows for NDAs, vendor agreements, and commercial contracts; support attorneys and contract managers on process and system questions
- Support in leveraging AI and MCP capabilities to enable self-service contract data queries and trend analysis
- Own the Legal team’s repository: build and maintain an organized, searchable document repository; document standard operating procedures and close gaps in existing coverage
- Manage the Legal team’s new hire onboarding process and maintain key templates, playbooks, and training materials
- Track and report on legal operations metrics including request volume, turnaround times, and outside counsel spend
- Support entity management and corporate filings, coordinating with outside vendors and relevant counsel to keep corporate records current
- Assist with ESG and regulatory compliance execution under attorney direction — data gathering, tracking, and reporting
- Support outside counsel and vendor management, including tracking billing against budgets and assisting with performance reviews
- Coordinate and chase signatures across the organization — track all documents pending execution, follow up proactively with signatories, and ensure agreements close on time
- Manage the DocuSign environment, including envelope creation, template management, user permissions, and integrations with the broader legal tech stack
- Arrange notarization of documents as needed, coordinating with internal stakeholders and external notary services
- Evangelize legal processes to cross-functional partners — build self-service resources and show internal clients why following the process makes them faster, not slower
Requirements
- 2–8 years of experience in legal operations, business operations, contracts management, or a similar operational role in a technology company or law firm
- Hands-on system experience, ideally as a workflow designer or administrator; experience with DocuSign, Ironclad, Jira, and Google Suite strongly preferred
- A genuinely generalist operational profile — owned a wide range of work across systems, documentation, reporting, and cross-functional coordination without settling into a single specialty
- Strong process-builder instincts: create structure and documentation where none exists
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action — willingness to take on any task, big or small, to get the job done
- Strong organizational, time management, and project management skills with the ability to handle high volume and balance competing demands
- Good judgment and a high level of professional integrity, discretion, and ability to maintain confidentiality
- Genuine curiosity about AI tools and a desire to find smarter, more scalable ways to work
Nice-to-Haves
- Prior experience in a high-growth technology company or autonomous systems / defense environment
- Experience with entity management and corporate filings
