Senior Associate, Legal Operations

As a Senior Associate, Legal Operations at FalconX, you will transform how the Legal department works by building AI and automation into real legal matters. You'll redesign legal delivery, strengthen the knowledge and processes behind it, and automate the repetitive work that today consumes counsel time. You'll start with a legal AI platform already live, agentic development tools, and a team committed to deep AI implementation, owning projects from discovery through implementation and adoption.

What you'll do

• Redesign how legal work gets done by eliminating unnecessary steps, building counsel-approved self-service paths, and clarifying ownership across teams. Prioritize improvements by impact, risk and effort.
• Build and deploy AI workflows for drafting, playbook-based review, regulatory research and regulator correspondence, all in partnership with counsel.
• Select additional tools where needed and work with IT, Security and vendors on integrations and technical dependencies.
• Own rollout and adoption, including testing with users, training teams, documenting workflows and improving what you ship.
• Establish evaluation, confidentiality, access controls and human-review standards with counsel and Security.
• Measure turnaround times, manual effort, errors, adoption and user experience, using results to prioritize improvements.
• Structure contracts, entity data, obligations, templates, playbooks and precedents for reliable search and AI use.
• Establish ownership and maintenance processes to keep legal information accurate, current and appropriately accessible.
• Make obligations, deadlines and entity information easy for Legal and authorized business teams to find and act on.
• Run intake, triage and routing so every request has a clear owner, status and path to resolution.
• Own outside counsel management, the entity filings calendar, and signature and execution workflows.
• Track repetitive work, remove unnecessary steps and automate routine tasks while keeping operations dependable.

What you bring

• 2-5 years of relevant experience in engineering, automation or technical operations, with demonstrated delivery of AI-enabled workflows.
• A track record shipping AI or automation into a legal or adjacent function, with the ability to show what you built, how you drove adoption and what improved.
• Hands-on technical skills: you configure platforms, work with APIs and light scripting, and build practical solutions with available resources.
• Fluency in legal workflows, understanding where AI adds value, where human review matters and when counsel must be involved.
• Strong operational and communication skills: you deliver projects despite imperfect data and competing priorities, communicate simply and listen to users.

Nice to have

• Experience in fintech, crypto, financial services or another regulated environment.
• A law degree or traditional legal operations career path.

What we offer

• Base pay of $128,000-$173,000 in New York City.
• Performance-linked bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.
