Description du poste

The role asks for a legal operations professional or paralegal with at least three years of in-house experience who can turn how legal teams actually work into structured, scalable solutions on the Checkbox platform. A strong candidate brings hands‑on legal tech implementation, process improvement, and comfort with ambiguity, plus the ability to model workflows, set guardrails, and translate recurring customer needs into reusable templates. The work sits between customers, product, and engineering, so clear systems thinking and practical problem solving matter more than pure legal doctrine.

How it fits the AI era

AI changes the work by handling routine intake and triage, so this role focuses on making those AI features interpretable, defensible, and trusted by legal users. The human side stays in judgment, risk tolerance, exception paths, and designing legal abstractions that hold across customers and jurisdictions. The job is less about writing legal advice and more about shaping how AI behaves inside real legal workflows.

How it builds AI experience

The role offers direct experience deploying AI features in enterprise legal departments, including defining guardrails, defaults, and exception paths that legal teams can defend. Building that experience means showing first‑hand use of AI tools in daily legal work and exposure to AI‑enabled products or automation. Since Checkbox serves in-house legal teams at large companies, the learning centers on making AI adoption practical and reliable across varied legal environments.

Worth showing

• Legal operations experience
• Legal tech implementation
• Workflow and process design
• AI tools in legal work
• Systems and abstraction thinking
