Legal Operations Project Manager

Job Description

This is where your greatest challenge awaits:

• You'll join the Legal Operations team within the Corporate Legal and Compliance Department (around 25 lawyers), based at Accor's headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux.
• This team drives the performance and digital transformation of the legal and compliance function: Legal AI platforms, Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) systems, internal knowledge bases and other digital tools.
• You'll operate in an international, multicultural environment, working closely with legal teams across jurisdictions, with strong requirements on IT security and data confidentiality.

Your mission:

• Be the digital backbone of the Legal Operations team: ensure Legal Ops processes and technology are effectively deployed, adopted and maintained Group-wide.
• Proactively contribute to shaping the Legal Operations strategy: help define processes and policies, and support the selection, administration and deployment of tools to increase efficiency.
• Lead the deployment, configuration and ongoing administration of legal tech tools, including Legal AI platforms (such as Legora), CLM systems (e.g. Agiloft) and knowledge base solutions.
• Support the selection of new tools: prepare requirements, coordinate vendor assessments, and liaise with IT and Procurement to ensure smooth integration with the department's workflows and enterprise systems.
• Monitor tool performance, manage user access rights, and coordinate upgrades and maintenance with vendors and IT.
• Design and deliver change management initiatives and training programmes to drive adoption across the legal community, acting as the primary point of contact for end-users.
• Manage projects end-to-end, from scoping to delivery, ensuring stakeholder alignment and clear reporting.
• Ensure digital tools and processes comply with data protection, IT security and confidentiality requirements, working closely with IT and cybersecurity teams — including on AI-related risks.
• Contribute to building knowledge bases, templates and best practice repositories, and produce regular reporting on tool usage, adoption and performance KPIs.

Qualifications

And you?

• You have 2 to 5 years of experience in legal operations, legal project management, IT project management, or a comparable role; exposure to legal department environments (in-house or legal tech provider) is a plus.
• You've worked with, implemented or administered digital tools such as CLMs, DMS, or AI-based legal platforms.
• You have demonstrated experience working in an international and multicultural environment.
• You're rigorous, methodical, and have a strong sense of confidentiality, with the ability to adapt in a fast-moving environment.
• You have strong project management skills: the ability to plan, prioritize and deliver on time.
• You have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical users.
• You're tech-savvy and genuinely curious about legal technology trends and emerging tools.
• You're autonomous, proactive and solutions-oriented.
• General knowledge of IT fundamentals and legal digital tools (Agiloft or other CLM, AI-based legal platforms, Power Automate, SharePoint, BI tools, AI prompt engineering) is a plus, as is GDPR awareness.
• A PMP, PRINCE2 or other project management certification is a plus.
• Fluent written and spoken English (main working language); French is a plus.
