The Legal Operations Manager will work closely with internal stakeholders and external advisors to help manage legal workflows, regulatory filings, contracts, corporate governance, and compliance processes, with particular exposure to securities law and emerging digital asset frameworks.

  • Coordinate privacy, cybersecurity, data-protection, vendor-risk, business-continuity, and insurance matters with relevant internal teams.
  • Support M&A, financings, restructurings, and other strategic transactions, including diligence, document preparation, approvals, and closing management.
  • Develop and maintain policies, procedures, templates, playbooks, approval matrices, and legal knowledge resources.
  • Manage outside-counsel relationships, matter status, legal invoices, budgets, and spend reporting.
  • Help select, implement, and administer contract-management, entity-management, matter-management, and workflow-automation tools.
  • Identify process improvements, establish service metrics, and provide reporting on legal workload, turnaround times, contract status, and risk trends.
  • Serve as a practical point of contact for business teams, resolving routine matters and escalating significant issues to counsel.
Qualifications
  • Paralegal certificate or JD from an accredited institution
  • 5-7 years of relevant legal, paralegal, compliance, or legal-operations experience, preferably within a regulated financial-services, fintech, broker-dealer, investment-adviser, or public-company environment.
  • Experience drafting, reviewing, and managing commercial agreements, corporate documents, and other routine legal materials.
  • Experience in full life-cycle entity management.
  • Familiarity with public-company reporting, securities-law compliance, and corporate governance. 
  • Strong legal research, writing, issue-spotting, and risk-escalation skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams, deadlines, and stakeholders with limited supervision.
  • Excellent judgment, attention to detail, discretion, and commitment to handling confidential information appropriately.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate legal requirements into practical guidance for business teams.
