About The Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented Legal Counsel to join our lean legal team as the primary point of contact for contracts management and global entity management. This role is ideally full-time, though part-time arrangements (minimum 30 hours/week) may be considered for seasoned professionals who can deliver on the full scope of responsibilities.

• Legal Operations & Knowledge Management
• Build & Optimize: Develop and organize a comprehensive Legal SharePoint site to centralize D&O info, policies, and resources.
• Tech Implementation: Partner with internal IT on the in-house Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) tool to ensure it meets the legal team's operational needs.
• Process Improvement: Standardize legal templates (NDAs, Distributor Agreements) to ensure global consistency.
• Outside Counsel Management: Coordinate with outside counsels and track legal spend/invoicing within AP systems; coordinate between outside counsels who manage the company's IP portfolio (patents & trademarks) and internal engineering and product teams.
• Special Projects: Assist with special projects as assigned, including coordinating insurance certificate requests, supporting wage garnishment order processing, and other ad hoc legal matters as needs arise.
