Legal Operations Lead
About the Role
Build and own the legal operating system at an early-stage AI infrastructure company. This hands-on role combines commercial contracting with the design of scalable workflows, helping the business manage growing legal needs while balancing risk, speed, and business priorities.
What You'll Do
Own legal intake, prioritization, contracting workflows, approvals, escalation paths, document management, and outside-counsel coordination.
Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including MSAs, SOWs, data licenses, SLAs, NDAs, vendor agreements, and partner contracts.
Create and maintain contract templates and negotiation playbooks for recurring issues such as data rights and usage restrictions.
Identify opportunities to streamline or automate high-volume legal workflows using software and AI, while preserving appropriate human review.
Set clear guidelines for what legal work is handled internally, standardized, automated, or escalated to leadership or outside counsel.
Scope outside-counsel work efficiently, manage legal spend, and reserve external support for specialist or high-value matters.
