Hi there!
We’re looking for a sharp, practical, and technology-forward lawyer who thinks like a business operator and is eager to develop across a broad range of legal and business problems. This is a hands-on role anchored in procurement and mid-market commercial work, with opportunities to expand into new areas while rethinking how legal work gets done through AI, automation, and systems thinking. The right person will bring a strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, be eager to learn new areas, and thrive in a fast-paced, technology-forward, and intellectually challenging environment. This position provides a great opportunity to lead efforts to incorporate technology, like automation and AI, into legal operations and practice. You will serve as the team’s day-to-day point person for improving our existing automation and AI workflows and helping build the next ones, working closely with the General Counsel and the rest of the legal team. You will be a member of our legal team and report to the General Counsel.
