Who you are:

You are a highly organized, action‑oriented legal operations professional who enjoys building structure where it does not yet exist. You are curious by nature, eager to learn, and motivated by continuous improvement.

You communicate clearly, manage complexity well, and are comfortable owning projects from idea through implementation.

What you'll do:

You will help scale and modernize the legal function by designing and implementing efficient processes, supporting contract negotiations, and deploying legal technology. You will partner closely with Legal, Compliance, IT, HR, Sales, and other business teams to ensure legal operations enable the business while managing risk and maintaining compliance.

• Track and manage the lifecycle of commercial contract negotiations, ensuring visibility, accountability, and timely execution.
• Independently negotiate and manage Non‑Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) using approved negotiation frameworks.
• Design, implement, and maintain contract negotiation playbooks; support internal enablement and adoption.
• Implement and oversee efficient processes for the execution of agreements.
• Design and implement scalable processes supporting procurement, compliance, employment, and privacy initiatives.

Who you bring:

• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders.
• Curiosity and a desire to learn, particularly in emerging legal technologies and AI‑enabled tools.
• A bias for action and a continuous‑improvement mindset, with comfort testing, iterating, and refining processes.
• Working knowledge of legal technology tools and the ability to engage on a technical level with vendors and internal teams.
• Experience in legal operations, contracts management, or a related role (strongly preferred).
• Experience implementing or administering CLM systems, document management platforms, or AI‑assisted legal tools (nice to have).
