We are looking for a tech-savvy, adaptable generalist to serve as the strategic right hand to our General Counsel. In this role, you will be the operational engine embedded at the intersection of law, technology, and business operations. Your critical goal is to scale our legal function by eliminating manual chaos, optimizing our tech stack, and building workflows that multiply the team's overall impact across the company.

What You'll Do:

• Own the Legal Front Door: Manage and triage incoming requests via our legal inbox and Jira tickets, ensuring the business gets swift, prioritized support.
• Drive Tech & CLM Optimization: Act as the administrator for our legal tech stack, specifically building out new automated workflows and templates in Ironclad to keep us moving fast.

• Build Playbooks & Guardrails: Develop and update internal legal playbooks, self-service guides, and FAQs that empower other departments to move quickly while maintaining proper risk controls.

• An Empathetic Communicator: You translate legal concepts into practical business workflows and communicate seamlessly with stakeholders across Sales, Product, and Finance.
• A Growth-Minded Professional: You possess unwavering integrity, handle sensitive corporate data with discretion, and are constantly looking for ways to elevate your own skills and the legal team's standards.
