About this role

The Legal Operations Manager role at Firecrawl is a full-time position based in San Francisco, California or available remotely within the Americas, suiting an organized builder who enjoys designing systems from scratch for a fast-scaling artificial intelligence company. Reporting directly to the General Counsel, this position focuses on building the operational foundation for the legal department.

Role Overview

Firecrawl seeks a Legal Operations Manager to serve as the operational engine for the company's growing legal function. This build-from-scratch role involves setting up the systems, processes, and vendor relationships needed to support a lean legal team amid rapid company growth. The position works closely with commercial contracting, compliance, legal technology, product, and regulatory matters by establishing the infrastructure that allows legal professionals to operate efficiently.

Support the legal team with research, regulatory monitoring, and special projects.
Coordinate with finance, sales, product, engineering, human resources, and security teams to maintain smooth legal workflows.

Identify repetitive tasks and standardize, automate, or eliminate them using technology and artificial intelligence.
Track and report on legal spend, contract volume, and turnaround times.
Assume expanding ownership aligned with personal strengths and professional goals.

Requirements

Drive independent projects to completion without constant oversight or predefined plans.
Demonstrate experience building or meaningfully improving processes from scratch.
Transform vague requests and undefined scope into structured working workflows.
Maintain exceptional organization and independently close loops on open items.
Communicate effectively in writing and verbally across sales, finance, and leadership teams.
Exercise good judgment and strict discretion regarding confidential information.
