(Note: For EpiSci job openings, fully remote work will be considered by exception.)

- Create forms, playbooks, and training to improve consistency, execution speed, risk mitigation, and scalability
- Develop and implement scalable and sustainable legal operations processes, programs and tools to support the legal team's efficient delivery of services to the broader company
- Proactively manage other duties that may arise as part of a small legal team in a high growth start-up
