Reporting to Senior Counsel, this role is responsible for designing and implementing systems, workflows, and knowledge infrastructure that increase the leverage, scalability, and effectiveness of the Legal team.
The Legal Tech & Operations Manager will deeply learn the business and legal operations, proactively identify friction and risk, and drive cross-functional projects from concept to durable production workflows. This is a builder’s role, requiring strong technical and AI fluency, legal operations expertise, and a systems mindset. The successful candidate will lead the evaluation and rollout of AI tools and legal technology, create structured playbooks and knowledge bases, and build self-service legal guidance systems. They will also establish reporting frameworks and operational standards to ensure the Legal function operates efficiently, consistently, and at scale.
