Legal Operations Lead
About the Role
This is a foundational legal operations role at a fast-growing AI infrastructure company in the reinforcement learning and model evaluation space. You will own the entire legal operating system, from intake to outside-counsel coordination, and play a direct role in making legal work scalable as commercial volume and complexity grow. It is a hands-on, systems-oriented position that blends contracting work with process design.
What You'll Do
Own the end-to-end legal workflow, including intake, prioritization, approvals, escalation paths, document management, and outside-counsel coordination.
Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements with buyers, data vendors, and partners, including MSAs, SOWs, data licenses, SLAs, NDAs, and vendor contracts.
Build and refine contract templates and negotiation playbooks to handle recurring issues such as data rights and usage restrictions quickly and consistently.
Identify opportunities to automate or streamline high-volume legal workflows using software and AI, while preserving human judgment for complex matters.
Establish clear decision rules for what stays internal, what can be standardized or automated, and what escalates to founders or outside counsel.<
