DDN's legal team is small, fast-moving, and built to punch above its weight — through clear processes, well-run systems, and a growing set of AI-assisted workflows that let a lean team support a rapidly growing global business. We're hiring a Legal Operations Manager to own the day-to-day systems that make that possible: contract lifecycle management, intake and triage, reporting, outside counsel operations, and knowledge management.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who has worked inside legal operations at a high-growth technology company and knows how to keep a legal team's engine running smoothly — someone who is as comfortable building a dashboard as they are refining an intake workflow or administering a CLM platform. You'll work closely with the Chief Legal Officer and cross‑functionally with Sales, Rev Ops, Finance, and IT to keep legal's systems reliable, measurable, and easy for the rest of the company to use.

Own the legal side of contract lifecycle management — intake, routing, templates, repository, and reporting — in coordination with Rev Ops and Sales Ops on the Order Form, CPQ, and contract‑management systems that feed legal's workflow.

Run and continuously improve the legal intake and triage process, including how requests are classified, assigned, drafted, reviewed, and closed.

Administer and optimize core legal technology, including the CLM platform and any legal spend / matter‑management tools, and help identify where AI‑assisted or agentic workflows (e.g., Claude, Cowork) can reduce manual work — with good judgment about when to build versus buy.

Build and maintain the reporting layer for the legal function — contract cycle time, deal and request volume, workload, and SLA performance — so leadership has a clear line of sight into how the team is performing.

Own knowledge management for the team: keep playbooks, templates, and reference materials current, organized, and easy to find.

Support outside counsel operations and the legal budget, including panel coordination, engagement tracking, and spend visibility.

Help design and run operational cadences — intake SLAs, approval gates, and handoffs with Sales, Finance, and Security — that keep the legal function fast and accountable.
