Legal Operations Manager (Remote Europe)

3-5 years in legal ops, contract management, or as a paralegal, ideally in B2B SaaS. Excited to use AI and no/low-code to transform legal work and can build workflows from scratch. Build dashboards, track KPIs, and use insights to prioritize and improve processes. Confidently handle non-complex agreements (e.g., NDAs, DPAs) and know when to escalate. Create scalable systems, ship quickly, iterate, and document as you go. Communicate crisply, exercise pragmatic judgment, and partner effectively across teams and time zones. Paralegal certification, legal studies, or deep contract exposure (nice-to-have). Understand corporate housekeeping, audits, and filing obligations (nice-to-have). Experience with tools like n8n, Make, or Zapier to automate workflows (nice-to-have). Thrived in fast-scaling environments with competing priorities (nice-to-have).

Stand up scalable self-service for NDAs, intake, approvals, and standard docs using n8n and AI review/playbooks. Deploy first-pass AI contract review, risk flagging, and playbook suggestions. Launch an “@ask-legal” Slack assistant and a lightweight request portal. Own the legal tooling roadmap and integrations. Define and maintain a reliable source of truth for contracts, matters, and obligations. Manage vendors/partners; evaluate, implement, and optimize Wordsmith and adjacent AI/automation tools. Centralize corporate records and entity housekeeping. Build a searchable legal knowledge base with versioning, ownership, and documentation standards. Improve audit/readiness posture with evidence capture, automated reminders/controls. Build real-time dashboards for deal velocity, bottlenecks, renewal health, risk events, and OC spend. Propose roadmap, KPIs, and quarterly plans; communicate progress and trade-offs to executive stakeholders. Lead cross-functional initiatives as a senior IC; pilot, ship, and iterate based on data and feedback.
