• Comfort managing legal operations — including contract management systems, vendor/technology platforms and process design — along with a genuine interest in applying AI and automation to legal and operational workflows

• You are highly organized with impeccable attention to detail
• You have a strong belief in our mission and understand the importance of giving back
• You are driven and hold yourself to a high bar, always looking for ways to bee better
