  • Manage internal communications and meeting cadences for the legal leadership team, ensuring clear alignment and follow-up on action items.
  • Lead cross-training initiatives to build legal team capabilities and reduce single points of failure.
  • AI Strategy & Productivity Deployment

  • Lead the research, evaluation, piloting, and deployment of AI technologies for use cases both within the Legal team and in partnership with key Legal stakeholders.
  • Develop a risk-mitigated deployment strategy for new legal technology, focusing on data security, privacy, and ethical AI usage.
  • Champion the adoption of new legal technology and provide training and support to maximize department-wide utilization and productivity gains.
  • What You'll Bring :

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Law, or a related field.
  • JD from accredited law school with active bar admission preferred.
  • Legal operations certification (e.g., CLOC) a plus.
  • 5+ years of legal operations, consulting, or business operations experience with at least 2 years in legal department operations at a technology company (SaaS a plus).
  • Strong financial acumen with experience in budget management, vendor negotiations, and cost optimization.
  • Project management expertise with ability to lead complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives.
  • Demonstrated experience with legal technology including contract management systems, legal research platforms, and workflow tools.
  • Deep understanding of the current legal technology landscape, including CLM, e-billing, matter management systems, and emerging AI tools for legal productivity.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence.
