firecrawl - Legal Operations Manager

• Strong candidates may come from legal operations, contracts, compliance, business operations, consulting, technology, professional services, or somewhere else entirely. What matters is that the work was complex and you were the one who owned the details. • You process a lot of AI output without shipping slop. You can run large volumes of AI-generated content through your own judgment and have what comes out the other side be right. This is the single most important thing on this list • You drive projects to done independently. Nobody is going to hand you a plan or check your work at every step • You've built or meaningfully improved a process, not just maintained one that was already there • You turn a vague ask into a working process. Undefined scope is the fun part, not the blocker • You're extraordinarily organized and you close loops without being chased • You're excellent in writing and out loud, with sales, finance, and leadership, not just with lawyers • You have good judgment and real discretion with confidential information • You master new tools fast. Every system here will be new to you and that shouldn't slow you down • You're intellectually curious about how legal, business, and technology decisions actually get made • You're an AI super user. Hard requirement, not a nice-to-have. You reach for AI to move faster by default • A law degree is not required, and this role isn't limited to people on any particular educational or professional track. • A NOTE FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING LAW SCHOOL • If you're seriously weighing law school, this job is an unusually good look before you commit. You'll work directly with experienced attorneys and see how they actually handle commercial negotiations, product questions, regulatory issues, corporate matters, and risk calls, at a company where all of it is happening at the frontier of AI. • That said, law school is neither expected nor preferred. Legal operations is a substantive career in its own right and it's growing fast. We'd be just as excited about someone who wants to build a long career in legal ops, contracts, compliance, or business operations. What we want is someone who wants to become excellent at this job, take real ownership, and grow with us. • WHAT WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR • Someone who wants a fully built-out legal ops function to maintain rather than build • Someone who needs the requirements fully defined before they can start • Someone who treats AI output as finished work • Someone who optimizes for process over shipping • We operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what we're building won't stay open forever. If that excites you, keep reading. If it doesn't, no hard feelings, but this role probably isn't for you.
