WHY BOX NEEDS YOU

Box is the Content Cloud—transforming how people and organizations work together securely from anywhere. Our Legal team is a strategic partner to the business, and we’re scaling our operational backbone to match Box’s growth. We’re hiring a Legal Operations Manager to own legal spend management, budgeting, forecasting, vendor oversight, and the financial/operational engine that powers our global Legal organization.

In this role, you’ll run the systems, processes, and analytics that ensure fiscal rigor, vendor performance, and operational excellence. You’ll partner closely with Finance, Procurement, AP, Tax, and Legal leadership to deliver clear visibility into spend, drive savings, and enable smarter, faster decisions across the function.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage day-to-day operations of our e‑billing platform (Brightflag), including matter setup, user management, invoice workflows, and integrations.
• Own the end-to-end Legal budget across outside counsel, software, professional services, travel, and operating expenses; lead annual planning and monthly forecasting.
• Build and maintain KPIs, dashboards, and reports to track spend, forecast accuracy, trends, and risks; translate insights into actions for Legal leadership.
• Oversee the full law firm lifecycle—from onboarding and billing guidelines to performance management, rate benchmarking, and savings enforcement.
• Implement best practices for invoice review, accruals, and global billing compliance; partner with AP, Tax, and Procurement to streamline payment procedures.
• Drive operational improvements through process design, documentation standards, automation, and AI-enabled efficiencies that reduce manual work.
• Lead training for internal teams and outside counsel on systems, billing standards, and matter management best practices.
• Serve as primary liaison for outside counsel billing inquiries and cross-practice administrative coordination; step into adjacent priorities as a versatile program owner.

WHO YOU ARE

• 3+ years in legal operations, legal financial management, paralegal, or comparable in-house role with ownership of complex, cross‑functional workflows.
• Deep experience in budgeting, forecasting, accruals, spend management, vendor oversight, and e‑billing platforms (Brightflag or similar).
• Advanced Excel skills for modeling and reporting; familiarity with Microsoft 365, Airtable, e‑signature tools, Zip, Jira, and Slack.
• Proven ability to operate independently, prioritize effectively, and deliver with exceptional attention to detail in a fast‑paced SaaS environment.
• Strong communicator who can influence stakeholders, translate financial data into business insights, and drive alignment across Legal and Finance.
• Process‑mindful operator with a track record of implementing automation, integrations, and scalable systems that improve efficiency and compliance.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience required; advanced degree or relevant certifications are a plus.
