About the Role

CrowdStrike is seeking a Sr. Manager, Legal Operations & Service Delivery to help reinvent the way Legal delivers business value in a dynamic and high-growth environment by simplifying the complex. The journey starts with building service delivery infrastructure, optimizing vendor/spend management and collecting analytics—and will grow into advanced workflow design, business intelligence-driven strategy, and robotic process automation to extend the reach and impact of our incredible team of legal professionals. You will work with advanced tools alongside global talent with a design-thinking mentality to drive innovation and deliver tangible results for the business. Be prepared to stretch, as this role will touch on eDiscovery, data privacy and information governance as the program evolves and matures. You’ll need to keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times.

This role is remote-based and will report to the VP of Legal, Litigation & Operations.

This position is open to candidates remotely in the USA, with a preference to candidates in California, Texas, and Washington (Remote).

What You’ll Do

• Build dynamic service delivery workflows
  • Stand-up a Legal ticketing system to track and channel inbound legal requests
  • Consult with Legal team members on simplifying legal support processes and, where appropriate, migrate to automated or semi-automated workflows using a leading cloud-based workflow platform
• Take Matter & Vendor Management to the Next Level
  • Implement eBilling solution with integration into Finance system to optimize accruals, invoice approvals and forecast accuracy.
  • Assess and implement right-sized shared services options to help Legal teams manage seasonal workload fluctuations and delegate lower complexity work to maximize internal talent capacity.
  • Run dynamic RFPs and help negotiate alternative fee arrangements for projects with predictable scope.
• Help reinvent Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM)
  • CLM deficiencies are a poorly kept secret—be part of the solution in reinventing CLM from a practitioner’s perspective by piloting new technologies and approaches in partnership with our commercial legal team.
  • Push the envelope with self-service options for Sales and Procurement, smartly calibrating risk management and deal velocity.
• Build a Business Intelligence Platform for Legal
  • Help identify “metrics that matter” across Legal Practice groups.
  • Optimize reporting of key task, projects, goals and events.

• Oversee Knowledge Management (KM) & Project Management (PM) Evangelism
  • Help curate our internal Legal portal.
  • Develop after action review and quarterly business review cadences.
  • Guide department utilization of available KM tools to maximize value.
  • Promote design thinking methodology and project management skills across Legal
• Innovate with Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning
  • Unlike a lot of places, we actually use AI and machine learning and are actively leveraging RPA, so you’ll get to apply these technologies to Legal from driving efficiencies in the contracting process to powering self-service guided legal reviews.
