Legal Operations Manager

Firecrawl

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain the contract management, legal operations, and compliance systems the function runs on

• Own the legal technology stack: CLM, e-billing, matter management. Pick the tools, run them, make them work

• Build and run contract intake and routing, from first request to signature

• Take on the creative and novel tasks that don't require a law degree but do require someone reliable to own them end to end

• Support the legal team on research, regulatory monitoring, and special projects

• Work with finance, sales, product, engineering, HR, and security to keep legal workflows moving

• Manage outside counsel and legal vendor relationships, including billing, budgets, and engagement terms

• Find the repetitive work and standardize, automate, or kill it with technology and AI

• Track legal spend, contract volume, and turnaround time, and report out on where things actually stand

• Take on more ownership over time, shaped by what you're good at and what you want to get good at

• What We're Looking For

• Strong candidates may come from legal operations, contracts, compliance, business operations, consulting, technology, professional services, or somewhere else entirely. What matters is that the work was complex and you were the one who owned the details.

• You process a lot of AI output without shipping slop. You can run large volumes of AI-generated content through your own judgment and have what comes out the other side be right. This is the single most important thing on this list

• You drive projects to done independently. Nobody is going to hand you a plan or check your work at every step

• You've built or meaningfully improved a process, not just maintained one that was already there

• You turn a vague ask into a working process. Undefined scope is the fun part, not the blocker

• You're extraordinarily organized and you close loops without being chased

• You're excellent in writing and out loud, with sales, finance, and leadership, not just with lawyers

• You have good judgment and real discretion with confidential information

• You master new tools fast. Every system here will be new to you and that shouldn't slow you down

• You're intellectually curious about how legal, business, and technology decisions actually get made

• You're an AI super user. Hard requirement, not a nice-to-have. You reach for AI to move faster by default

• A Note On Pace

• We operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what we're building won't stay open forever. If that excites you, keep reading. If it doesn't, no hard feelings, but this role probably isn't for you.
