About the role:

• Drive process improvement and automation by identifying opportunities for standardization and applying lean principles
• Build and maintain dashboards and KPIs to monitor performance and improve transparency in legal operations
• Develop and deploy low-code/no-code solutions (e.g., Microsoft Power Platform, Bryter) to automate legal workflows and enable scalable service delivery
• Act as a bridge between Legal, IT, and business, translating legal requirements into effective technical solution
• Support and manage cross-functional projects that drive digital transformation and operational efficiency within the legal function and across broader organization
• Translate legal and business requirements into user-friendly digital workflows and interfaces (UX Design/Legal Design)
• Provide training and support to internal stakeholders on legal tech tools and processes

• Strong understanding of legal department or law firm operations and service delivery models
• Affinity for IT and AI literacy — you’re curious, tech-savvy, and proactive in exploring new tools to improve workflows
• Demonstrated experience in workflow automation, process optimization, project management, and change management
• Familiarity with data analysis, data preparation, and visualization to support strategic and operational reporting
• Clear, confident communicator — able to engage both legal and non-legal stakeholders
