About the Job

Requirements

  • Two to five years of combined experience in legal operations, systems engineering, process improvement, systems implementation, or automation development.
  • Demonstrated experience designing, building, and configuring process automations and integrations, rather than only using them.
  • Knowledge of modern artificial intelligence tools and prompt engineering, with an interest in evaluating technology solutions using a build-versus-buy approach.
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to explain technical capabilities to nontechnical legal and business stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to prioritize and manage multiple competing requests in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience coaching, training, and developing the skills of colleagues and stakeholders.
  • Fluency in English as a working language is required.

Responsibilities

  • Observe the legal team's daily activities and map its processes to identify opportunities for automation and efficiency improvement.
  • Prioritize automation initiatives based on business value, risk reduction, time savings, and stakeholder impact.
  • Design and test end-to-end automated workflows for legal and review processes using tools such as Spellbook, Ironclad, and Glean.
  • Create custom request forms, approval workflows with conditional routing, and automated document-generation templates.
  • Create reusable templates and automation libraries to standardize processes and accelerate future projects.
  • Clearly document processes so automations are easy to maintain and team members can understand and build on the work.
  • Develop prompt-engineering best practices and practical guides to help legal team members use artificial intelligence effectively without technical expertise.
  • Collaborate with lawyers, paralegals, and business stakeholders to gather requirements, validate solutions, and support adoption.
  • Establish and monitor automation performance by tracking key performance indicators such as processing time, cost and time savings, error rate, and adoption rate, and present return-on-investment results to leadership.
  • Promote a process-optimization culture within the legal team and advance best practices for documentation and governance.

Desired Qualifications

  • Previous experience in a rapidly growing software-as-a-service or technology company.
  • Hands-on experience with legal technology tools such as Ironclad, Spellbook, Glean, CoCounsel, or Harvey.
  • Experience with data analysis, reporting dashboards, and/or customer relationship management or enterprise resource planning integrations such as Salesforce.
