About The Role

As our Legal Operations Specialist, you'll build the systems and infrastructure that let a founding legal team scale. You'll own the evaluation and implementation of our legal tech stack, stand up our contract lifecycle management system, and serve as the connective tissue between legal and the cross-functional partners who depend on clean contract data. This is a build-from-the-ground-up role for someone energized by turning a scrappy legal function into a well-instrumented one. This role initially reports to the General Counsel.

What You'll Do

• Evaluate and manage legal tech vendors and service providers.
• Lead implementation and administration of our contract lifecycle management system.
• Partner with sales, finance, revenue operations, and other stakeholders to ensure our systems deliver the reporting, visibility, and deal insight they need.
• Build and own renewal and contract obligation tracking and related workflows.
• Develop the processes, metrics, and infrastructure a scaling legal function depends on.

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of relevant legal operations experience.
• Hands-on experience implementing or administering contract lifecycle management, discovery management, legal billing, and other systems necessary to enable a fast moving legal function.
• Familiarity integrating legal systems with Salesforce.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly with finance and revenue operations.
• A systems thinker with a bias to action, comfortable building infrastructure from scratch.
• AI-forward, builder's mindset, with a demonstrated ability to use AI tools to streamline daily workflows and accelerate efficiency.

Total compensation for this role also includes meaningful equity in a fast-growing startup, along with a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package. Base salary is determined by a range of factors including individual qualifications, experience, skills, market data, and work location.
