- Identifying bottlenecks, proposing improvements, and implementing solutions that increase efficiency—including exploring how AI and legal workflow tools can improve our processes
About you
- Have a bachelor's degree and 3+ years of paralegal or legal operations experience at a law firm or in-house
- A process thinker who can identify bottlenecks, brainstorm solutions, and drive efforts to resolve them
- Have a fundamental understanding of legal documentation and corporate governance principles

- A strong communicator with great people skills who can work effectively with colleagues across varied professional backgrounds
- Experienced with databases, project management, and AI tools
- Have excellent computer skills (e.g., MS Word, Excel, Google Workspace, web-based portals, and legal workflow/entity management systems)
