Legal Operations Specialist

Come help us herd cats! We’re growing quickly, the business is expanding into new areas, and our teams need thoughtful contract and procurement guidance integrated into their everyday decision making. We are a fast-moving tech company (yes—a tech company!), and our Global Legal Operations team plays a critical role in keeping the business running smoothly and compliantly.

We are seeking an early career Legal Operations Specialist who brings curiosity, strong attention to detail, and a willingness to learn. You don’t need years of legal operations experience – just a solid foundation in a related field (such as contracts administration) and a desire to grow your skills.

In this role, you will report to the Director of Global Legal Operations and support a broad range of responsibilities requiring critical thinking, organization, and integrity. As the central connector between the Legal team and many internal business partners, you’ll help manage contract workflows, vendor processes, spend coordination, and system operations. We’re looking for someone proactive, collaborative, and excited to jump in, learn quickly, and help our team succeed.

  • Provide additional procurement or vendor-related support aligned to team needs
• Administrative & Operational Support
  • Monitor system workflows, platform access, and shared in-boxes to ensure timely responses to intake and task queues
  • Provide general administrative and operational support as requested, based on evolving Legal team priorities
  • Assist in maintaining standard operating procedures, checklists, and process documentation
• Other Responsibilities / Areas for Growth
  • Show up as a good human: be respectful, competent, ethical and collaborative
  • Identify opportunities to streamline processes, share best practices, and improve efficiency across the Legal department’s systems, tools, and workflows
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships within the Legal team and with cross functional partners across the organization
  • Proactively seek opportunities to expand skills, take on new tasks, and grow with the Legal Operations function as it evolves
