About The Position

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. Position Overview The primary functions of this role center on core Legal Operations disciplines—including contract lifecycle management, spend management, and third-party due diligence—as well as close alignment with Finance and other cross functional stakeholders. This position frequently serves as a key liaison between the Legal team and internal business partners across the organization.
