AI Summary

The Director of Legal Operations will serve as the operational backbone of the legal function, managing systems, processes, and tools. Key duties include owning the CLM platform, implementing legal intake systems, and deploying AI-powered workflows to increase efficiency.

Our client, a category-leading private technology company in the real-time data and AI infrastructure space, has exclusively engaged Solutus Legal Search to assist its executives in hiring a Director of Legal Operations. Recognized on the 2025 Forbes Cloud 100 and recently valued at over $15 billion following its Series D financing, the company is founder-led, growing rapidly, and counts many of the world's most recognizable enterprise and AI-native companies as customers.

Reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, this person will serve as the operational backbone of the legal function, owning the systems, processes, and tools that keep the department running efficiently. The role drives process improvement, manages legal technology, and partners cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and other teams. This is a high-impact, hands-on opportunity for someone who wants to build and optimize, not just maintain.

Responsibilities
  • Design and implement a legal intake system covering triage, prioritization, and tracking, and own the CLM platform (Ironclad) end-to-end, including workflow configuration, template management, and reporting.
  • Serve as the legal team's primary liaison to Salesforce for product, partner, and region updates, and partner with Sales Enablement on operational and process questions.
  • Lead tool evaluation and RFP processes for new legal technology, building a repeatable framework where none exists today.
  • Manage template update cycles across the contract library, coordinating with legal and business stakeholders.
  • Organize and maintain the legal team's Google Drive and knowledge management systems.
  • Identify and deploy AI-powered tools and workflows to increase legal team efficiency and run miscellaneous legal team projects end-to-end from scoping through execution.


The Ideal Candidate
  • 7+ years of experience in legal operations, legal technology, or a similar role supporting an in-house legal team; JD is a plus but not required.
  • Hands-on experience with CLM platforms (Ironclad preferred), Salesforce, DocuSign, and Google Workspace, with a track record of identifying process gaps and driving change independently.
  • Able to toggle between strategic planning conversations and detailed execution work.
  • Genuine enthusiasm for AI as a tool for legal operations, with the ability to evaluate and deploy new tools quickly.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex workflows and system requirements to both legal and non-legal audiences.
  • Quick learner who adapts to shifting priorities in a fast-moving environment.
