## About the role

We’re looking for a Legal Operations Lead to build and own the systems, processes, and commercial frameworks enable HUD to move more quickly as our volume and complexity of agreements grows. This is not a traditional in-house counsel role. We’re looking for someone who combines strong legal and contracting judgment with an operator’s instinct for systems, tooling, and leverage. You should be comfortable handling a contract directly one day and redesigning the process so it barely needs manual intervention the next.

## What they're looking for

- Experience in legal operations, contracts management, commercial operations, transactional legal work, business operations, or a combination of these at a fast-growing technology company
- Strong experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial technology agreements, with the judgment to distinguish routine issues from matters that require specialist legal advice
- Comfort working with legal technology, workflow tools, and AI, and an interest in using them to make legal work materially faster and more scalable
- Strong commercial judgment and the ability to balance legal risk against speed, customer needs, and business priorities
- Excellent written communication, attention to detail, and the confidence to push back constructively on sophisticated customers, vendors, and internal stakeholders
