We are seeking an experienced and technology-savvy Legal Operations Manager to refine and scale the operational infrastructure of the legal function at a fast-growing cybersecurity company. Reporting to our Chief Legal Officer, you will optimize the systems and contractual processes we've built to date and architect the next generation of processes needed to support rapid revenue expansion. This is a high-impact role for someone who has mastered modern legal technology and operates with an AI-first mindset.
Roles and Responsibilities:
- Process Enhancement & Continuous Improvement: Assess and refine our existing legal operations processes to eliminate friction and accelerate velocity. You don't just maintain what's there – you make it better. Standardize workflows so they scale with our growth, document them so they're repeatable, and automate what shouldn't require human touch. Build on the foundation we've established to create sophisticated self-service capabilities that empower the business to move fast while managing risk appropriately.
- AI-Driven Operations: Build workflows with AI at the center, automating what shouldn't require human attention and surfacing what does. You proactively identify opportunities to eliminate manual work and improve decision-making through intelligent automation.
- Project Delivery: Own initiatives from start to finish. You set the timeline, you hit it, and you don't need reminders. You manage competing priorities and deliver results without requiring oversight.
- Legal Technology Leadership: Own our legal tech stack and make it work harder. Optimize what we have, identify what's missing, and implement solutions that move us forward. Drive adoption so teams actually use the tools we've invested in—and use them well. Partner with IT and Engineering to build integrations that eliminate manual handoffs and create seamless workflows. Stay ahead of emerging legal tech trends, especially AI-powered tools, and bring forward what will give us a competitive edge. You're not just managing technology—you're using it to transform how legal operates.
- Strategic Reporting & Analytics: Turn operational data into clear, actionable insights covering contract cycle times, and risk exposure. Leadership needs to understand what's happening—you make that easy through dashboards and reporting that tell the story.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate seamlessly with Sales, Finance, IT, and HR to streamline legal touchpoints, eliminate friction, and deliver "Wow Them" service that exceeds internal customer expectations. Serve as strategic advisor on legal operations matters to business leaders.
- Team Development & Mentorship: Mentor and develop one or more junior legal operations team member, providing guidance and growth opportunities. Delegate appropriate responsibilities while maintaining oversight and quality control. Foster culture of innovation and operational excellence.
