Internal Support Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Cooley is seeking a Product Support and Training Manager to join the Product Team, which is part of the larger Innovation group at the firm.

Hybrid Schedule: As part of the Cooley culture, we recognize and appreciate the value of being together, in person, to build comradery with others in the office and to be a contributing member of the Cooley office. However, we also appreciate the benefits and flexibility that come from remote working. As such, the default assumption for employees and partners is a hybrid schedule: some in-office presence and some work from home days absent certain essential in-office roles that require five (5) days/week in-office.
