The Legal Operations and Contracts Specialist supports the Legal team by operating and improving the systems, workflows, data, and reporting that enable counsel to focus on substantive legal work. This role serves as the primary administrator and subject matter expert for the Gatekeeper contract lifecycle management system, manages the day-to-day legal request and contract queues, and coordinates routine contract operations from intake through execution and post-signature administration. The position uses strong analytical, technical, and project management skills to identify bottlenecks, standardize processes, maintain reliable data, and deliver actionable reporting through tools such as Excel, Salesforce, and Gatekeeper. The role does not provide legal advice and escalates substantive legal issues to counsel.
