About The Role & Team

Amplitude is looking for an experienced Legal Operations Manager to build and scale the systems, processes, and technology that help our Legal team operate at its best. You will partner across Commercial, Product, Privacy, Corporate, Finance, IT, and other teams to simplify how legal work gets done, improve visibility into priorities and risk, and create a more seamless experience for internal stakeholders.

This is a hands-on role for a thoughtful operator who is excited to use automation and AI-enabled technology responsibly to reduce manual work, improve knowledge access, and help the Legal team move faster without compromising quality, security, or judgment. You will own key legal operations initiatives, from contract workflows and reporting to legal technology strategy, change management, and scalable team processes.

As a Legal Operations Manager, you will:

• Design, implement, and continuously improve scalable workflows across the Legal team, including commercial, product, privacy, corporate, and compliance-related work.

• Own and optimize the Legal team’s technology ecosystem, including contract lifecycle management, e-signature, intake, knowledge management, and reporting tools.

• Identify practical opportunities to leverage automation and AI-enabled tools to streamline routine legal work, improve self-service, and strengthen data quality, while partnering with Legal and IT on appropriate governance and controls.

• Build dashboards and reporting that give Legal leadership visibility into workload, contract cycle times, key trends, business impact, and operational priorities.

• Lead cross-functional projects and change-management efforts, including new process rollouts, systems integrations, internal enablement, and stakeholder communications.

• Serve as a trusted point of contact for legal process and technology questions, helping employees navigate Legal’s tools, resources, and ways of working.

• Develop and maintain scalable legal knowledge resources, templates, playbooks, and training programs that make it easier for the business to engage Legal effectively.

You'll be a great addition to the team if you have:

• You are energized by finding better ways to work and can turn ambiguity into clear, practical processes.

• You bring a strong point of view on how automation and AI can improve legal operations, paired with sound judgment around accuracy, confidentiality, security, and human review.

• You can translate complex legal and operational needs into simple workflows, systems requirements, and actionable recommendations for a range of stakeholders.

• You are comfortable moving between strategic planning and hands-on execution, whether that means designing a roadmap, building a dashboard, or troubleshooting a workflow.

• You build strong cross-functional relationships and can influence adoption through clear communication, thoughtful change management, and a service-oriented mindset.

At a minimum, you need to have:

• 4+ years of experience in legal operations, paralegal work, contract operations, or a related operational role supporting an in-house legal team.

• Experience managing and improving legal processes, including contract intake, contract lifecycle management, legal requests, knowledge management, or matter tracking.

• Proven experience using AI to improve workflows and increase efficiency for the legal team and its cross-functional partners.

• Experience collecting, analyzing, and presenting operational data through dashboards, reports, or executive-ready insights.

• Strong project management, organizational, written communication, and stakeholder-management skills.

• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

• Proficiency with tools such as Microsoft Office, Salesforce, Ironclad, DocuSign, Slack, Tableau, Snowflake, and reporting or workflow automation platforms.
