Legal Operations Manager /Remote
Competitive Compensation + Premium Medical, Dental & Vision Coverage
Why You Should Choose Steno
- Wins together – Stock options included. When Steno grows, you grow.
- Invests in you – Premium Medical, Dental, & Vision Coverage - options for you and your family - well above industry benchmarks.
- Constantly innovates with technology at our core – We are a modern organization solving real problems in an industry that needs a revolutionary approach.
- Flexibility built in – Fully remote, flexible PTO, and a home office stipend plus monthly internet/phone allowance.
- Small team, big impact – You'll work directly with the General Counsel and have real ownership over the legal tech stack and operations from day one.
- Build something that lasts – This is a greenfield role; you're not inheriting someone else's half-finished system. You're designing it.
Why Legal Ops at Steno Is Different
- No bureaucracy, no bloat – We're a Slack-first, two-attorney team. You'll move fast, make real decisions, and skip the enterprise approval circus.
- Cross-functional from day one – You'll partner directly with Sales, Finance, HR, and IT/Security — not just support Legal.
- High-volume, high-variety contract work – Provider agreements, client contracts, vendor deals, and compliance programs across a network of court reporters, videographers, interpreters, and process servers.
- You own the stack – CLM evaluation, matter management, automation, renewals, budget tracking, playbooks. It's yours to build and run.
You'll be a self-starter who thrives without heavy oversight, and takes projects from zero to done. This is a hands-on role for someone who gets energy from building the first version of something and finishing it — even through the messy middle. You'll crush this role if you have 3+ years of legal ops experience, in-house legal department background, hands-on contract management software experience, and a track record of driving cross-functional initiatives to completion.
