About the role

  • We work hard and care about our most prized asset - our people.
  • We're helping businesses get off the ground by enabling them to focus on running their business.
  • We're data-driven and never stop iterating.

Requirements

  • Technical and AI Fluency - you are deeply comfortable with AI tools and stay on the leading edge of what's possible.
  • You can pick up a new tool quickly, write effective prompts and playbooks, evaluate model outputs critically, and reason about how systems integrate (APIs, MCP servers, webhooks, integrations between platforms).
  • Camaraderie - Day to day you can be seen working together toward a higher purpose.
  • 5+ years of professional experience in legal operations, legal technology, program or project management within a legal or compliance function, or a comparable operations and build role in a fast-moving company.
  • Demonstrated track record of designing and shipping workflow automation or AI-enabled tooling that moved a measurable business metric, such as cycle time, throughput, cost-to-serve, or capacity.
  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to run multiple workstreams in parallel, with cross-functional stakeholders, on overlapping timelines.
  • Exceptional fluency with AI tools and a demonstrated habit of staying on the leading edge of the space - including hands-on experience with frontier AI assistants and agents (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, NotebookLM), prompt engineering, building custom AI workflows or projects, and configuring AI tools against structured playbooks and knowledge bases.
  • Strong technical instincts and the ability to reason about how systems connect - including APIs, integrations, automations, MCP servers, and the trade-offs between point solutions and platform approaches; you do not need to be an engineer, but you should be able to hold your own in a scoping conversation with one.
  • Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to produce playbooks, project documentation, leadership updates, and clear summaries of complex work.
  • Strong sense of ownership, with a focus on results and outcomes; ability to proactively remove obstacles, and willingness to go above and beyond to chase down loose ends that lead to outstanding results.
  • High judgment around confidentiality, privilege, and risk; unquestionable professional ethics, trustworthiness, and commitment to excellence.
  • Occasional travel may be required.

Skills

  • Perform other related duties as assigned.

Compensation

  • Experience supporting an international legal function or a multi-entity organization.
  • Background in HR tech, fintech, PEO or EOR, or another regulated B2B environment.
  • Light scripting ability (Python, SQL, or similar) for data pulls, prototyping, and integrations is a meaningful plus but not required.
