Company mission
To solve the complex challenges of database management and ensure security across the DevOps lifecycle.
Role
Who you are
- A must have: Comfortable working with LLMs such as Claude to design and implement AI agentic workflows, ideally with examples of doing so within a legal, compliance, or other regulated operations function
- Demonstrable, hands-on experience building process or workflow automations ie you can pick up an existing process map and improvement backlog and start shipping automations quickly, without a long discovery phase
- Legal training is not required: a background in project management, AI based technical delivery, or process/automation engineering is more relevant to this role than a legal or paralegal background, though the latter is a plus
- Background may include: Business Analysis, Business Process Re-engineering, Digital/Process Transformation, RPA, or Legal Technology delivery. Job titles in this space vary widely, so we care about the experience, not the label on your last role
- Experience with legal or contract operations technology is strongly preferred eg contract lifecycle management (CLM), e-signature, matter management, or similar
- Strong delivery mindset: comfortable prioritising a backlog and delivering incremental, working improvements against a short, fixed 5-month timeline
- Excellent analytical, written, and verbal communication skills. Able to explain technical builds clearly to a non-technical legal audience, and to work independently with light-touch oversight
- Strong understanding of in‑house legal risk and operational challenges ie you understand where risk and cost sit in in-house legal operations, so automation is designed to reduce admin burden without cutting corners on control
- You might currently hold a title such as Business Analyst, Process/Digital Transformation Manager, Legal Technology Project Manager, RPA & Automation Analyst, or Business Process Analyst — legal training is not required for this role
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Legal Operations Engineer for a period of 5 months to work directly with our General Counsel and the wider Legal team on a focused, hands-on build project
- Over the last two months, our Legal team has already mapped its core operating processes and documented where the friction and administrative burden sit
- That diagnostic work is done. This role is not about re-running that exercise: it’s about taking the existing process maps and improvement plan and building the automation that makes them real
- You’ll work from our current Legal process map and our documented issues-and-improvements analysis to design, build, and roll out AI-driven and workflow automations that reduce manual admin and free up the Legal team for higher-value legal work
- This is a delivery role: you’ll be building and shipping from day one, not spending months on discovery
- Prioritise from the existing map: Take Legal’s existing process map (in Lucidchart) and its documented issues-and-improvements analysis, and turn it into a prioritised, effort-vs-impact build plan for automation
- Automate the highest-volume, highest-admin processes e.g. NDA and contract intake and routing,
- Design and deploy AI agentic workflows — Working closely with the General Counsel and Legal team, using LLMs such as Claude, to remove manual steps from routine legal intake and requests
- Retire interim fixes: replace the interim MS Forms workaround and similar stopgaps with durable, automated solutions once the proper build is ready
- Implement and configure legal technology: contract automation/CLM, e-signing (DocuSign), workflow tools, and the Legal SharePoint hub, so what you build is actually usable and adopted by the team
- Deliver a clean handover; leave behind documented, running automations and a clear record of what’s automated, what isn’t, and why, so the Legal team can maintain and extend the work after the contract ends
- Report progress regularly: track build progress against the prioritised list and give the General Counsel real-time visibility of what has shipped, on a short, fixed timeline
- Use whatever tooling fits: business process mapping, RPA (robotic process automation), and low-code/no-code workflow tools (e.g. Power Automate, Zapier) alongside AI agentic workflows — whichever combination gets automations shipped fastest
Application process
- Start date: ASAP, ideally you will be immediately available or on a one week notice period
- Closing date for applications: Friday 17th July
Our take
As businesses become increasingly dependent on data, managing databases has become more complex. Companies need to move quickly while keeping systems secure and reliable. However, many still depend on manual processes and disconnected teams, making it harder to manage modern data infrastructure, especially as AI and cloud technologies continue to grow.
Redgate is helping companies tackle these challenges through database DevOps and lifecycle management tools. Its platform helps teams automate database changes, improve collaboration, and manage systems more efficiently and securely. Redgate, then, supports organisations throughout the full database development and deployment process.
More than 200,000 data professionals worldwide use Redgate's solutions too, signifying just how strong a position it has in the market. And with recent backing from Bregal Sagemount, the company plans to accelerate product innovation and expand even further so it can keep up with the ever-growing demand for secure, scalable data management.
