  • Create and drive processes around employment legal compliance, including auditing key training and employment document execution and partnering with the legal and recruiting team on processes for other employment document needs
  • Develop, implement, and continually improve legal operations policies, processes, and procedures

What you will need

  • 5+ years experience in a legal operations or paralegal capacity, preferably with a combination of in-house technology company and law firm experience
