• Assist with lawyer payment tracking and reconciliation
• Assist with internal reports and business documentation
• Help coordinate meetings and track project progress across teams
• Support the development and optimization of internal processes and workflows, flagging inefficiencies as you spot them

• Experience working with or at a US law firm or US in-house legal team (e.g., as a paralegal, legal assistant, case manager, or legal ops coordinator) strongly preferred
• Excellent written and spoken English communication skills; you'll be communicating directly with clients and lawyers
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to juggle multiple workstreams
• Comfortable working with spreadsheets, trackers, and basic reporting
• Proactive, resourceful, and comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-paced startup environment
• Experience with CRM tools and modern productivity tools is a plus
• Ability to overlap meaningfully with US Pacific Time working hours. (12:00 AM – 8:00 AM PT)
