They bridge the gap between legal teams and other business units by ensuring that legal services are delivered efficiently and cost-effectively. Their responsibilities often include project planning, vendor management, process optimization, and reporting on key metrics.

They play a key role in driving innovation and operational excellence in the legal industry.

How does a Legal Operations Project Manager typically collaborate with legal and cross-functional teams within an organization?

A Legal Operations Project Manager frequently acts as a bridge between the legal department and other business units, such as IT, finance, and procurement. They coordinate project timelines, facilitate communication, and ensure legal projects align with broader organizational goals. Collaboration often involves leading meetings, gathering requirements, and managing stakeholders to ensure smooth implementation of legal technology solutions or process improvements. This cross-functional teamwork is essential for streamlining workflows, boosting efficiency, and supporting the legal team's strategic objectives.

To thrive as a Legal Operations Project Manager, you need expertise in project management, process optimization, and a solid understanding of legal workflows, typically supported by a bachelor’s degree in business, law, or a related field. Familiarity with legal technology platforms such as contract lifecycle management (CLM) systems, e-billing tools, and project management software (e.g., Asana, Smartsheet) is essential, and certifications like PMP or Lean Six Sigma are valued. Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills set top performers apart in this role. These skills ensure legal teams operate efficiently, deliver projects on time, and drive value within the organization.

We are worldwide technical leaders in Integrated Power Semiconductors and Systems Power delivery architectures. At MPS, we cultivate creativity, are passionate about sustainability, and are committed to providing leading-edge products and innovation to our customers. Our portfolio of technology helps power our world ---come join our team and see how YOU can make a difference.
Job Description:
Job Summary
We are looking for a seasoned Legal Operations leader who has hands-on experience building processes. The Legal Operations leader will own the operational infrastructure of the legal department: the systems, the workflows, the data, and the support personnel; and will be expected to walk in, quickly assess what is working and what is not, and make it better without a lot of handholding.
If you are comfortable having a strategy conversation with the General Counsel and in a workflow configuration screen- we would like to talk to you!
Key Responsibilities
  • Contract Lifecycle Management
    • Own the full CLM program - intake, negotiation, approval, execution, and renewal - ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
    • Select, implement, and continuously optimize CLM tooling, eDiscovery platform, Legal Research tools (experience with ContractPodAi, Epiq, Westlaw, Pacer, or equivalent strongly preferred).
    • Serve as an internal subject matter expert on contract risk, rights, and obligations across business units.
  • Legal Tech Stack & Systems
    • Lead the evaluation, selection, and rollout of legal department technology, including DMS, Legal Research tools, e-billing, matter management, and AI tools.
    • Own ongoing system administration, vendor relationships, and performance accountability.
    • Build dashboards and reporting that give leadership real visibility into legal department activity and spend.
  • Process Design & Operations
    • Identify workflow gaps and fix them before they become someone else's problem
    • Design and implement process controls that stick - not one-time fixes.
    • Lead cross-functional projects and internal communications that keep the legal team organized and the business informed.
  • Team & Budget Leadership
    • Own budget forecasting, vendor and Outside Counsel invoicing, and P&L; accountability for the legal operations function.
    • Develop staff through clear expectations, training, and performance standards.
    • Develop and maintain relationships across multiple internal business stakeholders to facilitate a productive and efficient work environment across the company globally.

Qualifications and Requirements
  • 7+ years of progressive legal operations experience, including at least 2 years of managerial experience with direct reports.
  • Demonstrated experience implementing or managing CLM, DMS, PMS, Legal Research tools, or e-billing platforms from selection through adoption.
  • Hands on knowledge of legal tech tools - familiarity with ContractPodAI, Harvey AI, Epiq, or comparable systems is a strong plus.
  • Experience managing legal operations in a high-volume environment - law firm, corporate legal department, or both.
  • Strong ability to prioritize and manage multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong ability to collaborate effectively across teams and work with various stakeholders and business partners across the organization.
  • Ability to draft, redline, and negotiate contracts independently.
  • Expertise with Microsoft Office Suite applications (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and TEAMS).
  • Strong financial acumen: budget ownership, invoice review, and P&L; responsibility.
  • Proven track record of building or restructuring legal operations, not just managing them and have the ability to drive innovation and adapt to evolving business needs.
  • Clear, direct communication style - ability to explain legal risk to a lawyer, non-lawyer, and operational tradeoffs to a GC.

Nice to Have
  • Have walked into a performing legal department and enhanced output and efficiency through performance optimization.
  • Have personally implemented a new technology system - not just managed the vendor who did.
  • Have built reporting infrastructure that changed how leadership understood the legal function.
  • Have managed and supported both attorneys and non-attorney staff and know how to get the best of both.
  • Paralegal and litigation experience.
  • Ability to identify and solve process gaps to improve efficiency and scalability.

Location
  • Kirkland, WA (Onsite)
