Hiring: Legal Operations Coordinator Company: Mach Industries Location: Huntington Beach, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-16 14:52:14 Employment Type: Contract Target Skills & Keywords : Jira, Microsoft Excel, Regulatory Compliance About the job Required Skills: •We're an ideal fit for someone who may be light on experience as long as they are heavy on ambition and grit – whether recent grads or established paralegals or legal operations professionals — who wants outsized ownership early in their career and is energized by a new problem every day rather than the same file type on repeat. •Be the front door to Legal. •Own intake for all incoming legal requests across the company — contracts, NDAs, employment matters, procurement questions, IP, insurance, real estate, and compliance — and triage them to the right attorney with the right context. Some of them you will just handle yourself. •Chase down the underlying facts, documents, and business context an attorney needs before they start drafting or reviewing, so lawyers spend their time lawyering, not gathering. •Track every open matter to resolution; nothing falls through the cracks because you're watching the whole board. •Drive bigger picture legal projects and take ownership of the process from start to finish. •Build the infrastructure as you go. •Stand up and continuously improve legal team processes and workflows — intake forms, matter tracking, contract lifecycle management, approval chains, document retention. If it exists, make it better. If it doesn’t exist, build it. Qualifications: •Some experience or evidence of interest in a legal, paralegal, legal operations, or compliance role — in-house experience at a startup, government contractor, or regulated industry is a strong plus, but not required. •A genuine self-starter who sees ambiguity as an opportunity, not an obstacle — you'd rather build the process than wait for someone to hand you one. •Sharp organizational instincts: you can track a dozen open threads at once without dropping any of them. •Excitement about legal tech and AI more broadly — you're the person who researches a new tool on your own time because you think it'll make the team faster. •Excellent written and verbal communication; you can extract the right information from a non-lawyer stakeholder without making them feel interrogated. •High attention to detail — this is a company where contract terms and compliance details carry real regulatory weight. •Discretion with sensitive and controlled information; ability to obtain and maintain any required U.S. government clearance or comply with export control access restrictions (ITAR/EAR), as applicable. •Bachelor's degree required; paralegal certificate a plus but not required. •A genuine desire to grow with the legal function — this role is designed to expand in scope and responsibility as the team and company scale. •Operational familiarity with contract lifecycle management (CLM) platforms, matter management tools, e-signature solutions, and workflow automation systems such as Ironclad, DocuSign, Jira, or similar technologies. Compensation: •$95,000 - $125,000 / year Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
