Legal Operations @ Clay Clay is scaling fast - more customers, more products, more complexity. As we grow, Legal needs to evolve from reactive support into a strategic function that enables speed across the business. We're hiring our first Legal Operations Claymate to build the systems, processes, and infrastructure that will power Legal today and shape how the function scales long term. This is a builder role - you'll be creating from legal systems scratch more often than inheriting them.

• Own the legal intake and workflow system - Build a scalable system for managing legal requests across the company. Ensure intake, routing, prioritization, and tracking are seamless and visible.
• Partner cross-functionally - Work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Support, and Finance to ensure legal processes align with how the business operates.
• Manage external partners - Own relationships with outside counsel, BPOs, and vendors to ensure quality and efficiency.
• Own the legal tech stack - Manage tools like Ironclad (CLM), Docusign, etc. Facilitate consistent adoption, clean integrations, and continuous improvement. Leverage AI to automate workflows and reduce manual work.
• Partner with Enablement - Help ensure that the GTM teams are trained on how to effectively engage with the legal process. Own and maintain Legal knowledge spaces by keeping hubs organized and ensuring information is current and easy to find.

• 5+ years in legal operations, program management, a paralegal with in-house experience, or an operations role where you built processes and kept cross-functional teams moving.
• Experience with legal tech (Ironclad, Docusign, e-signature, intake/matter management) and comfort evaluating new tools.
• Ability to turn ambiguous operational problems into clear requirements and scalable solutions.
• Sharp analytical and problem-solving abilities. You know when to dig deeper and when to move forward with imperfect information.
• Comfort in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities can shift quickly.
• Deep familiarity using AI as part of your day-to-day workflow to automate processes and increase leverage.
