Role Description:
The Legal Operations Systems Consultant will provide interim support for the business processes and technology used by the Legal organization.

Support the systems and business processes used by the Legal Operations organization.
Help maintain continuity across matter management, outside counsel billing, patent administration, licensing, and other legal processes.

Serve as the Legal organization's systems subject-matter resource during business intelligence and reporting initiatives.
Help business intelligence teams understand relevant legal-system objects, attributes, relationships, and reporting requirements.
Coordinate with internal business systems resources on requirements gathering, documentation, solution design, testing, and implementation.
Support integration discussions involving legal platforms and other enterprise systems.
Help document the departing employee's responsibilities, open initiatives, processes, and system dependencies.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
