Client Summary
Our client is a large, global organization that supports business leaders through research, insights, technology, and professional services. This opportunity sits within the company's
Legal & Compliance Transformation and Operations organization and works closely with Commercial Legal, Revenue and Deal Operations, and technology teams.
About the Opportunity
We’re looking for a
Manager, Legal & Compliance Operations to lead projects that improve how Legal & Compliance supports the commercial organization.
This is
not a traditional attorney role. The ideal candidate is a strong operations and project-management professional who knows how to improve processes, work across multiple teams, and translate business needs into practical technology and workflow solutions.
You’ll play a key role in
Salesforce initiatives, legal technology implementations, process improvements, and commercial projects designed to reduce friction and support faster, more efficient deal execution.
What You’ll Do
- Lead go-to-market and commercial Legal Operations projects from planning through execution.
- Partner with Commercial Legal leadership to develop consistent processes and best practices.
- Coordinate Salesforce requirements, system issues, enhancements, and template updates.
- Work closely with technology teams to track deliverables and communicate project status.
- Support Legal & Compliance technology implementations, including requirements gathering, testing, implementation tracking, and stakeholder communication.
- Identify opportunities to simplify workflows, improve productivity, and reduce operational risk.
- Partner across Legal & Compliance, Revenue and Deal Operations, technology, vendors, and other business teams.
- Develop clear process documentation, workflows, and user guidance.
- Support onboarding and knowledge sharing across the Legal & Compliance organization.
- Lead additional transformation and operational projects as needed.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in Operations, Sales Support, Legal Operations, process management, or a related field.
- Proven experience leading projects and improving business processes.
- Strong experience working with cross-functional stakeholders.
- Salesforce and Jira experience strongly preferred.
- Experience gathering business requirements and supporting technology or systems implementations.
- Strong systems-thinking and problem-solving abilities.
- Excellent planning, organization, documentation, and communication skills.
- Ability to influence stakeholders and keep complex initiatives moving.
- Bachelor's degree strongly preferred.
Legal Operations experience is helpful, but not required. Candidates with strong backgrounds in Sales Operations, Commercial Operations, Business Operations, Revenue/Deal Operations, or similar process-focused environments are encouraged to apply.
What Makes Someone Successful
You’ll likely thrive in this role if you’re
proactive, organized, collaborative, and comfortable owning projects in a fast-moving environment. You should enjoy identifying inefficient processes, bringing the right stakeholders together, and turning ideas into solutions that actually get implemented.
