Your Role

Hudl is looking for a Legal Operations Lead to join our global Legal team. This role, which requires both paralegal skills and strong legal operations abilities, is critical to the strategic and operational excellence of the Legal team. 

As the Legal Operations Lead, you’ll:

  • Own and continuously improve legal operations processes. You’ll align them with company goals, identify inefficiencies and lead solutions with minimal oversight.
  • Oversee legal tech tools. You’ll own configuration, training and automation for tools like Ironclad and e-billing systems. You’ll also drive adoption and performance reporting to enhance team productivity.
  • Manage corporate governance. You’ll maintain organized corporate records and lead global entity management, including board documentation and compliance with governance requirements.
  • Provide transactional and paralegal support. You’ll step in when needed during acquisitions, financing and corporate transactions, while also managing signature processes and supporting Know Your Customer (KYC) documentation.
  • Build and maintain self-service legal resources. This content will empower teams, reduce legal workload, and help us manage inbound legal communications effectively.
  • Manage special projects. These might include audits and regulatory inquiries, compliance tools, and legal admin tasks, including notarization and corporate filings.

Location

For this role, we're currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska. While we have a flexible work policy, the majority of the team are office-based and your regular presence in-office is expected (3-4 days/week).

Must-haves

  • Experience. You’ve spent 8+ years working in a business environment. 
  • Detail-oriented. You can easily manage a docket and deadlines.
  • Process-driven. You know how to optimize complex processes through process design and system optimization. You have an eye for glaring inefficiencies and a passion for regularly iterating on process improvements.
  • Strong execution focus. Moving projects forward to meet desired goals comes naturally to you. 
  • Global citizen mindset. You have an appreciation for cultural diversity and are happy to adapt to differing cultural norms to support global teams and customers.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills. You have the ability to get your point across and can translate legalese for those who aren’t fluent. 
  • Intellectual curiosity. You’re passionate about legal research and are constantly seeking opportunities to level up your knowledge.

Nice-to-haves

  • Legal experience. You’ve worked in a legal setting, either at a law firm or as a part of an in-house legal team in a business environment.  
  • Credentials. A paralegal certification is strongly preferred. 
  • CLM experience. You’ve worked as a super user for a system like Ironclad and can utilize that expertise at Hudl.  
  • Bilingual. If you’re able to speak another language, that’s a plus.

Our Role

  • Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
  • Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas. 
  • Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
  • Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech stack and hardware to do your best work.
  • Support your mental and physical health. We care about our employees’ wellbeing. Our Employee Assistance Program, employee resource groups and fitness partner Peerfit have you covered.
  • Cover your medical insurance. We have multiple plans to pick from to ensure you’ll have the coverage you (and your dependents) want, including vision, dental, fertility healthcare and family forming benefits.
  • Contribute to your 401(K). Yep, that’s free money. We’ll match up to 4% of your own contribution.

Compensation

The base salary range for this role is displayed below—starting salaries will typically fall near the middle of this range.

We make compensation decisions based on an individual's experience, skills and education in line with our internal pay equity practices.

Inclusion at Hudl 

Hudl is an equal opportunity employer. Through our actions, behaviors and attitude, we’ll create an environment where everyone, no matter their differences, feels like they belong. 

We offer resources to ensure our employees feel safe bringing their authentic selves to work, including employee resource groups and communities. But we recognize there’s ongoing work to be done, which is why we track our efforts and commitments in annual inclusion reports

We also know imposter syndrome is real and the confidence gap can get in the way of meeting spectacular candidates. Please don’t hesitate to apply—we’d love to hear from you.
