This role is based in Redwood City, CA, with a hybrid schedule of 3 days in the office per week.

Responsibilities

• Support pre-litigation and litigation matters, including legal holds, document collection and deadline tracking
• Lead and coordinate responses to law enforcement requests, including third-party subpoenas, search warrants, and liens
• Manage intake for the Legal team, including triaging the legal inbox, routing/escalating inquiries, and collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to resolve open issues
• Maintain legal records and matter management tools to ensure database accuracy and generate operational reports

6-Month Accomplishments:

• Fully owning legal inbox triage and the law enforcement request workflow, with documented playbooks for the most common request types

• Identified workflow inefficiencies and proposed process improvements, using AI and automation where appropriate

12+ Month Accomplishments:

• Recognized internally as the go-to resource for law enforcement, litigation, and regulatory operational questions
• Operating with substantial autonomy across the litigation function — owning pre-litigation matters, supporting larger matters with minimal direction, and serving as the primary day-to-day liaison with external counsel as needed
• Delivered measurable improvements to one or more legal workflows
• Maintains a comprehensive playbook library, with capacity to take on additional scope, including transactional or corporate workstreams, as the company scales

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
