FalconX is a digital asset prime brokerage serving institutional clients across multiple jurisdictions. The company is building an AI-native legal function and seeking an Associate, Legal Operations to lead this transformation.
In this role, you will redesign how legal work gets done by eliminating unnecessary steps, building counsel-approved self-service paths, and clarifying ownership across teams. You'll build and deploy AI workflows for drafting, playbook-based review, regulatory research, and regulator correspondence in partnership with counsel. You'll select additional tools where needed, work with IT and Security on integrations, and own rollout and adoption through testing, training, documentation, and continuous improvement.
You'll also structure contracts, entity data, obligations, templates, playbooks, and precedents for reliable search and AI use. You'll establish ownership and maintenance processes to keep legal information accurate, current, and appropriately accessible, making obligations, deadlines, and entity information easy for Legal and authorized business teams to find and act on.
Operationally, you'll run intake, triage, and routing so every request has a clear owner, status, and path to resolution. You'll own outside counsel management, the entity filings calendar, and signature and execution workflows. You'll track repetitive work, remove unnecessary steps, and automate routine tasks while keeping operations dependable.
Success means counsel spends more time on judgment and less on repetitive work. Routine requests follow approved self-service paths with clear escalation when needed. Contracts, obligations, and precedents are structured and easy to find. Business teams know how to engage Legal and what to expect. Improvements show up in faster turnaround, less manual effort, and reliable service.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 2–5 years of relevant experience in engineering, automation, or technical operations, with demonstrated delivery of AI-enabled workflows
- A builder with legal judgment who has shipped AI or automation into a legal or adjacent function and can demonstrate what you built, how you drove adoption, and what improved
- Hands-on with technology: configure platforms, work with APIs and light scripting, and build practical solutions with available resources
- Fluent in legal workflows: understand where AI adds value, where human review matters, and when counsel must be involved
- Effective operator who communicates simply, listens to users, and delivers projects despite imperfect data and competing priorities
- Experience in fintech, crypto, financial services, or another regulated environment is a strong plus
- A law degree or traditional legal ops career path is a plus but not required
