Job description

The role asks for someone to build and run the operating systems behind a fast growing law firm: cross team handoffs, scheduling, service tracking, reporting, customer follow up, billing, vendors, and office basics. A strong candidate is an organized generalist who turns messy manual work into documented, repeatable processes and finishes what they start. Several years in consulting, banking, or a high growth startup, plus comfort with long hours and full ownership of outcomes, fits what is described.

How it fits the AI era

The firm pairs attorneys with AI agents and its own software to review, draft, and negotiate contracts, so much of the routine contract work is already machine assisted. This role sits on the operations side, where the work is spotting fragile manual steps and turning them into systems that scale. Judgment about what to standardize, how to measure service quality, and how to keep customers informed stays human.

How it builds AI experience

The person would learn how an AI native legal service actually runs day to day, from how agent assisted contract work flows to where humans still need to step in. Building playbooks and tracking around that delivery model gives hands on exposure to operating AI tools inside a real service business. Curiosity about automation and a habit of documenting processes would help build that experience quickly.

Worth showing

• Process documentation
• Cross team coordination
• Systems and automation thinking
• Customer journey tracking
• Ownership of outcomes
