You have 5+ years of experience in Legal operations, business operations, strategic project/program management, or related fields with progression into increasing responsibility and strategic scope, preferably with an in-house Legal team.
Strong financial acumen with experience managing a department budget
Experience using AI and automation tools to improve efficiency; experience with evaluating and implementing AI tools is a plus
Exceptional communication skills, organizational skills, and attention to detail
Ability to influence across all levels of the organization
Ability to scale operations as the department grows
Proven record of deploying systems end-to-end, and developing solutions to reduce routine escalations to senior team members
Demonstrated success managing complex initiatives in a fast-paced environment
A self-starter with the ability to work autonomously
Ability to build strong partnerships across Legal, and with cross-functional partners and outside counsel
Handle highly confidential and sensitive information with professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment
