Legal Operations and Compliance Associate

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Legal Operations and Compliance Associate based in United States.

This is a newly established legal operations role supporting a portfolio of consumer-focused brands within a lean and collaborative Legal team.

You will manage contract workflows, support intellectual property and compliance activities, coordinate with outside counsel, and help keep legal operations running efficiently.

The role offers broad exposure across contracts, trademarks, copyright, privacy, regulatory matters, and cross-functional legal support.

You will also help build foundational legal infrastructure, including evaluating and implementing a contract lifecycle management platform.

As a hands-on contributor, you will have significant ownership over workflows, documentation, intake processes, and operational improvements.

The position is well suited to an organized legal professional who combines strong attention to detail with sound judgment, initiative, and a process-improvement mindset.

This is a fully remote opportunity with a four-day work week and collaboration across multiple business functions.

Accountabilities:

• Manage contract intake, routing, execution, and filing across multiple brands, processing routine agreements using approved templates, identifying deviations, escalating issues appropriately, and helping streamline contract workflows.
• Support the evaluation and implementation of a contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform by assessing current processes, defining needs-based evaluation criteria, and assisting with data migration and mapping.
• Coordinate legal projects, timelines, and cross-functional follow-ups while maintaining visibility into priorities and ensuring commitments remain on track.
• Manage outside counsel billing and legal vendor administration, helping maintain organized and efficient relationships with external legal providers.
• Support intellectual property operations by maintaining the trademark portfolio, tracking renewals, and coordinating with outside IP counsel.
• Assist with DMCA and copyright processes in partnership with Trust & Safety teams, while supporting broader compliance initiatives involving privacy, content moderation, consumer protection, digital services, and event-specific regulatory requirements.
• Monitor relevant regulatory developments and help translate legal and regulatory requirements into practical processes, policies, and operational guidance.
• Serve as a primary Legal point of contact for cross-functional partners on standard legal matters and general questions, communicating proactively and escalating blockers when necessary.
• Maintain organized legal files, policies, governance documentation, and intake workflows while supporting the use of tools such as Asana for legal project and workflow management.

Requirements:

• Bring professional paralegal experience and/or paralegal certification, ideally with a focus on contracts, legal operations, or related areas, along with the ability to independently own work with minimal supervision.
• Demonstrate strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities, anticipate potential issues, and keep complex workloads moving forward.
• Communicate clearly and confidently, providing proactive updates, identifying blockers early, and building effective working relationships with cross-functional stakeholders outside the Legal team.
• Have a process-improvement mindset and a demonstrated ability to develop more efficient approaches rather than simply following established procedures.
• Possess exceptional attention to detail and analytical skills, with the ability to review legal documents thoroughly and identify inconsistencies or potential issues before they progress.
• Demonstrate sound professional judgment, knowing when to act independently and when to seek alignment, while bringing recommendations and taking ownership through execution.
• Be comfortable working in a lean, fast-moving environment where contributions are highly visible and new legal operations infrastructure is being established.
• Experience supporting contracts, intellectual property, compliance, privacy, regulated matters, or outside counsel relationships is valuable.
• Familiarity with Google Workspace, Slack, Asana, DocuSign, Vendr, Zendesk, or comparable legal and business workflow tools is advantageous.
• Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States and must be physically located in an approved state. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance with 100% premium coverage for employees and dependents.
• HSA contributions covering 90% or more of the annual deductible.
• 401(k) plan with company matching and immediate vesting.
