Role Overview:We're looking for a Legal Operations Coordinator to join our Legal team in Washington, D.C.

Track documents pending signature, follow up with signatories, and resolve routing issues to keep execution on schedule

Coordinate e-billing routing: direct outside counsel invoices to the right reviewers and approvers and track them through approval

Follow up on overdue approvals and flag billing discrepancies or missing information to the Legal team and Finance

Maintain outside counsel and vendor records, including matter details and billing contacts

Corporate & Entity Management:

Maintain entity records, minute books, and officer and director lists

Track annual reports, franchise taxes, and registered agent renewals so nothing lapses

Help prepare board and stockholder consents and order good standing certificates as needed

Provide notary services for company documents as needed (if commissioned)

Minimum Requirements:

Bachelor's degree, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience

1–4 years of experience in an administrative, coordinator, or legal support role

Comfortable learning new systems quickly, such as intake/ticketing tools, e-signature platforms, and Microsoft 365

Good judgment on when to escalate, and high discretion handling confidential and commercially sensitive information

Pick-up-the-broom mentality: no job is too big or too small

Preferred Requirements:

Active notary public commission, or willingness to obtain one

Experience CLM platform, Docusign, Onit Unity, or legal intake/ticketing tools

Corporate paralegal experience, or familiarity with entity management tools and state filings

Experience in a legal department, law firm, or aerospace/defense or government contracts environment
