Job summary

Firecrawl is seeking a Legal Operations Manager to build from the ground up the contracts, compliance, and vendor systems that power a fast-growing AI company. You will own the tech stack and drive cross-functional workflows across legal, finance, product, engineering, and sales from day one.

This role emphasizes systems design, process automation, and strategic vendor management, with remote options within US time zones and SF HQ presence preferred.

Qualifications

• Strong candidates may come from legal operations, contracts, compliance, business operations, consulting, technology, professional services, or somewhere else entirely.
• You process a lot of AI output without shipping slop. You can run large volumes of AI-generated content through your own judgment and have what comes out the other side be right.
• You drive projects to done independently. Nobody is going to hand you a plan or check your work at every step.
• You've built or meaningfully improved a process, not just maintained one that was already there.
• You're extraordinarily organized and you close loops without being chased.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the contract management, legal operations, and compliance systems the function runs on
• Own the legal technology stack: CLM, e-billing, matter management. Pick the tools, run them, make them work
• Build and run contract intake and routing, from first request to signature
• Take on the creative and novel tasks that don't require a law degree but do require someone reliable to own them end to end
• Support the legal team on research, regulatory monitoring, and special projects
• Work with finance, sales, product, engineering, HR, and security to keep legal workflows moving
• Manage outside counsel and legal vendor relationships, including billing, budgets, and engagement terms
• Find the repetitive work and standardize, automate, or kill it with technology and AI
• Track legal spend, contract volume, and turnaround time, and report out on where things actually stand
• Take on more ownership over time, shaped by what you're good at and what you want to get good at
