About the role

Build and maintain the contract management, legal operations, and compliance systems the function runs on Own the legal technology stack: CLM, e-billing, matter management. Pick the tools, run them, make them work

What they're looking for

  • 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
More about this role

You'll be the operational engine behind how Firecrawl's legal function actually runs. Reporting to the General Counsel, this is a build-from-scratch role: as we scale, someone has to stand up the systems, processes, and vendor relationships that let a lean legal team keep pace with a company growing this fast. That's you.

This is not primarily an administrative job. It's an operational build role for someone who is genuinely energized by designing systems from nothing, who can pick up a messy process and turn it into something repeatable that engineers, salespeople, and executives actually use. You'll work across commercial contracting, compliance, legal technology, product, and regulatory matters, not by practicing law, but by building the machinery that lets the lawyers move fast.

We care more about judgment, ability, and initiative than about the path you took to get here.

Equity Range: Competitive equity. Details shared during the process.

Job Type: Full-Time

Experience: Flexible. We're looking for demonstrated high achievement, exceptional organization, and high agency. Background matters less than what you've owned (see below*)

Work Authorization: Must be authorized to work...
